Woodsboro, Texas.—Up to early
Tuesday morning it was estim-
ated that approximately 1,600
hales of cotton had been
ginned in this immediate section,
with the lower Piehl gin reporting
the largest output.. Business
showed a decided pickup last Sat-
urday as the cotton pickers flooded
the town from early morning until
late afternoon, with all business
establishments reporting large
sales, with the barbecue stands,
bank and postoffice particularly
reporting “land-office” days. How-
ever the peak of “cotton seasons
business” is expected this Satur-
day and all local merchants are
preparing for one of the largest
Saturday’s since 1937. Local ex-
perts predict that the local crop
will probably total in the neighbor-
hood of 5,000 bales at the end of
the season.

BETTER HERTIRG, TOO!
{
# Ridiculous, isn’t it? No business man would try to get along with-
out a floor in his establishment these days.
§ We believe that Better Heating is as essential to the successful
operation of most businesses as a floor, adequate fixtures, and com-
petent personnel.
# Better Heating is Automatically Controlled and Vented Gas Heat-
ing. We recommend it to you on the basis that it will both save you
money and make you money.
9 It will attract new customers and help to retain old ones. It will
increase employe activity in winter months by eliminating the
necessity of “huddling” about a heater to keep warm. It will help
show windows to sell more merchandise by preventing their “steam-
ing up.”
# Better Heating also saves money by preventing waste of time,
merchandise, and space. It’s not too early to start planning for
Better Heating. See your heating contractor or call our office today!
