The B. & G. Chevrolet Company is composed of S. E. Blair and George B. Golightly, the latter being the manager of the Hamilton house and Mr. Blair managing the business at Hico.

George B. Golightly [George Burl Golightly] was born in Birmingham, Ala., and came to Texas with his parents in 1892, settling on a farm near Hico. He is a graduate of McElhaney Academy at Stephenville and Metropolitan Business College of Dallas. He moved to Hico in 1916 and for twelve years was connected with the Hico National Bank. In March 1828 [sic--1928] he and S. E. Blair formed a partnership and purchased Craig Bros. Chevrolet Co. Mr. Blair taking charge of the Hico business and Mr. Golightly assuming the management of the Hamilton business.

George Golightly is affiliated with the Masonic Lodge and takes an active part in civic affairs of Hamilton.

The B. & G. Chevrolet Company is one of the strictly up-to-date institutions of this section, and is operated with a view to the maintenance of an establishment that serves their patrons in a satisfactory manner. It is commodiously and conveniently arranged.

The satisfaction the many Chevrolets are now giving their owners can only be surpassed in the new Chevrolets they buy. The present models on display offer a wide selection of body types, all of which are true of Chevrolet quality. The most prominent mechanical new feature is the "Knee Action" front axle. This makes it one of the smoothest riding cars on the market today and if you doubt this statement "just drive it five miles."

A special feature is their service to Chevrolet owners. This means that they have men who have had wide experience on these cars and therefore when you leave your car here you know that it will be in the hands of exerts. They also specialize in paint and body works and have the necessary equipment to turn out a first-class job.

Besides being dealers for the Chevrolet cars and trucks, the B. & G. Chevrolet Company carry a complete line of parts for Chevrolet cars, batteries, tires, and tubes.

In this Historical and Trade Expansion Edition of The News we urge our readers to call on this enterprising firm for anything in their line.
