Plea for a better appreciation
by homefolks of values In mer-
chandise offered for sale in. Fort
Worth was made Saturday by
Charles G. Cotten, trade extension
secretary of ' the Association of
Commerce.______ . _____
Study of present day values,
based on 20 years’ experience in
various merchandising lines, Cot-
ten says, lead* him to believe that
Fort Worth merchants are in a
position to offer articles that are
110 cents on the dollar values.
"Trade extension, like the fa-
bled expression about charity, be-
gins at home.
"We can do mre to encourage
out-of-town buyer* to obtain
their needs in Fort Worth if our
homefolks will first learn to ap-
preciate that our home town mer-
chants have the best goods at the
best price.
"I have made a close study re-
cently of merchandise offered by
our home merchants and have
come to the opinion that they of-
fer the best that money can buy
and that styles offered here are
equal to any found, elsewhere,”
Cotten stated.

' —led with 56 starts, and Kansas
had 26.
Crop conditions in West Texas
are not as good as they might be.
B. M. Whiteker, Haskell, agricul-
tural department manager of the
West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce, said Friday.
Whiteker was here in the in-
terest of the poultry and dairy
extension trip to be taken to Cali-
fornia under the Chamber of
Commerce’s directions. The party
is due to leave from Abilene Sat-
urday. ‘ '
Lack of rain at the right time
has hurt cotton and other crops
of West Texas more than any-
thing. Whiteker is of the opin-
ion that the cotton crop will be
below normal.
Prospects for feed crops appear
better, provided the rain received
in Fort Worth reached into West
Texas centers, Whiteker stated.

Mile Bridge and Goat Island.
The speed races will begin

ranged for outboard hydroplanes,
runabouts and cruisers. Around
25 boats, many of them from
nearby cities, will compete for
cups and boat equipment given
by Fort Worth firms and sports-
men.
