DEALER ANNOUNCES
ARRIVAL OF “TWINS”
A1 Brooks, local Homelite chain
saw dealer, announced the arrival
m his shop on Springer Loop of
two new Homelite chain saws—
Models 6-22 and EZ-6. Called the
Homelite “Power Twins”, both
new chain saws have six horse
power engines — the EZ-6 is a
direct dirve, 19 pound unit; the
6-22 is a gear-drive, 22 pound
unit.
According to Brooks “The EZ
6 is reported to be the fastest,
lightest, most powerful, direct
drive chain saw in the world.
W ith six full horsepower, the
EZ-6 will cut through eight-inch
oak in four seconds, 18-inch pine
in 12 seconds and bring down
trees up to five feet in diameter.”
“The new gear drive 6-22”, con
tinued Brooks, “is the most ver
satile chain saw in the world.
This chain saw has the lugging
power to bring down trees up to
seven feet in diameter and cut
through 20-inch trees in 18 sec
onds. A big, new gas tank gives
more cutting time. Another of
the important features of the 6-22
is the complete set of attach
ments that changes it from a
straight blade chain saw to a
brush cutter to a pluge-cut bow
saw and to a clearing tool.”
Brooks invites all interested
persons to stop at his shop locat
ed on the Springer Loop and see
the new Homelite “Power Twins”
in action.

WOMEN WRESTLERS
APPEAR HERE
TOMORROW NICHT
Wrestlin’ fans! The Palmer Elks
are offering you an opportunity
to witness three wrestling mat
ches which they will sponsor at
Elks hall Friday, June 28, start
ing at 8:30 p.m. The “grunt and
groaners” will be far more at
tractive than some of the more
familiar names such as Killer
Davis, Tojo, and others—and
their hair-dos will vie any day
with Goergeous George’s wavy
locks. It’s women wrestlers that
are coming to town. Four of
them.
Violet Kay, world’s lightweight I
champion, will be meeting the
Hooded Angel in one match;
Princess Dawn Eagle, Indian girl
wrestler will meet Hillbilly Kate,
and then the four gals will mix
it up in a tag team match.
Violet has the reputation of
being the most scientific wrestler
in the women’s division. The girl
with the “thousand holds” has
never been defeated by anyone of
her weight and last year won a
television wrestling popularity
contest.
The tag team match will un
questionably be the high spot in
the evening’s program. In this
event, two wrestlers are on each
team. It is up to the referee to
keep all four from entering the
ring at the same time.
Admission will be $2.00 for
adults, 50 cents for children.
