Secretary ( hamber of 4 ommerce.
I have read very carefully the ar
tide addressed to the editor of The
Daily Tribune, relative to the $3,000.-
000 bond issue election for May 21.
In the beginning, let me make this
statement, that the Bay City Chamber
of Commerce. as an organization and
chartered institution, is taking no
stock in the election to he held May
21. us an organization, for the bond
issue in this county. We do not wish,
as manager of this Chamber of Com-
merce, to be quoted or misunderstood
relative to the above.
The part of the article that I wish
to deal with, Is the last three para

that would go to show that th. two

ty are not the only ones that can be
grown here. •
We wish to again call your atten
lion to the fact that the bankers of
the South employed Hon Clarence
to bring about an entirely new line of
thought and a man with 10 to 15 acres
can make a good living and some
money with a very small investment
and also have a home for his family.
We realize that it is hard for the
old timer who has never known any
thing but a large ranch to see the
point of view in Ilie very small farm
and the smaller income of those who
live on these places. Taking Texas a
a whole, the banks will bear me out
in this statement, that the most pros-
true in this county.

WHS once

your money, during the year 1927, on
a one crop proposition.”
Nathan Adams, president ot the
American National Bank at Dallas
said some years ago. “It is time to
cull a halt on the one-crop system,
and if you bankers of Texas do not
use better judgment. in loaning your
money on an all cotton basis you will
not only break yourselves but you
will break every bank that you have
dealings with ”
when worry can be so
easily eliminated? The
man who saves has no
fear of the things that
continually shadow the
path of the man who has
not learned that saving is
the secret of success.
