U-AND-I LET'S FACE THE MlblC
"You" and "1" make up the world. When "1 put up a good word for
When ver or whonevei two people you, it cost.- nit nothing, and it helps
meet, they always are "you" and "I.** | you tremendously. It helps me. u>o—
Neither is "you" fur more than a because the more business you do,
few moments—the instant* one
gins to sptak he becomes "I." So
they constantly change their "you''
and "1" identities.
If 1 knew you and you knew me,
'tis seldom, if ever, we'd disagree.
Thtres a lot of difference between
knowing a man and Merely being i#>
quainted with him.
"I know that fellow—he's four-
square and a straight shooter," you
r;.v in defense of a friend, when
someone criti"es him in your pres-
ence.
Soon the critic in convinced he ha~
misjudged your friend. The tw<
learn to know each other hotter They
become frit nds. What a wonderful
thing you have done. Established a
friendship between two fellows.
. The bettor people know each other
the more aU shall shale profit—in-
personal satisfaction, as well as dol-
lars and cents. Let's g'.t better '
aquninted with each ottyuy.
If 1 always said a good word for
you, we'd soon think well of each
other. "Give a dog a bad name,"
and you know what happens to him.
"A good name is more to be desired
than groat riches," said old King
Solomon. Solomon knew his stuff.
In every city that has a reputa-
tion of being a "live town," you'll
find most of the business men saying
a good word for each other when-
ever thty can. Lot's wrirk together
a little more closely.
If I'd boost your business and you'd
boost my business, we'd hear less
complaint about "poor business." All
business is based on confidence—
nothing else. Nothing gives people
confidence in any business ;.s a
friendly boost. Nothing destroys
confidence so quickly as a bint .if
unworthiner-s.
bo- tht more business I'll do. And when
jiu i.now in. i . i f t'i you, you 11
boost lor me. of us want to h<?lp
the nto'i -vho help us, lather than
jpend on: money with tlu- fellow who
doesn't give a hang for anything 1 ut-
our patronage. Wt can boost more
for each other—lot's do it.
' ll I'd puil lor you and you'd ] nil
for me, the load would bt lighter on
i both of us. Team work is what
counts. That's just at true of busi-
ness as of football. No one man can
win a contest. W hen I put in a good
wcrd for you—or your organization,
he effect may be small. Hut when
1,000 others do the same thing, tht
effect is irrosistable. Could any-
one have 1,000 men sa> of them
each day: "1 give them folks my
business because they're right,"
they'd have to double their force in
thirty days. Lets us all say "I'm
going to put In ft good word for my
friends whenever the opportunity
presents itself.' When we do that
for all of our competitor wt- know
they'll do the umr for us. Let's
all pull together for each other.
If I'd always boost my town—and
you'd do the same, what a wonderful
city we'd have. We all know our
town is the best place to live.
Otherwise w( wouldn't live non>—
we'd move to some other town. Why
don't' we boost more for our town.
It cost's nothing to boost and it
pays big.
If very person would say on?
irood word for their- town inch day.
we'd all double our business—and
our population—in incredibly short
t imo.
Let us ;.ll resolve to boost our
town more and substitute all the
"if" -tuff for "I WILL."
Texas ToUriat Camps
The association that gathers data
on Texas tourist camps says that
many of the modern tourist camps
itiv full to overflowing every night,
while other# siv full six nights each
week. It concludes that the modern
well-equipped camp, when well man-
aged, is a success and as permanent
a business institution as a hotel.
Some places, however, have overdone
the building of camps just as other
business are overdone in some places.
There are now something over 300
1 tourist camps in Texas, about 100 of
which maylie classed as modern, com-
fortable stopping places for tourist*.
The places th:.t have the best camps
are the places that are best pleased
with the tourist business.
Texas Textile Mills Prosper
Textile mills in Texas, of which the
number is entirely too small, arc
prospering, and they have prospered
through the 'hard times" through
which the Northern mills have been
going. Textile manufacturing in this
State has p.-.ssed the experimental
stage and it also has passed the stage
where local capital can be exploited
through the construction of local
mills, built with the idea that they
wiJI soon be allowed to fail, after
which the stock will pass into the
h-'nds of exploiters who will then
make the mills successful. In other
words the textile industry in Texa
is now built and run on solid, sub-
stantial, and approved buaines*
lines.
Pecan Growers to Meet
rhe T xan Pecan Grower's Asso-
ciation will hold a meeting nt Gon-
zales, July 12-14, at which every
phase of the pecan growing business
will be discussed. Pecan growing in
leva- h. s become a business, but
it needs to l«. studied lik? any other
I'Uisness. L-'.st year .'J50 carloiads of
pecans were gathered and mark etc*!
bringing something like $1,750,000.
which the growers think was less
than half their real value, when com
pared with other nuts. Marketing
"f pecarw is not systematized .-.nd
perhaps the most difficult problem
confronting growers. Growers re-
ceive too little anil brokers ^et too
much, is the contention of the in-

Texas and Jexans
\A Resume-and Comment-of 7exas * Progress

Hy \S ill H. Mayes
Misunderstand iexas Trip
The 125 Texans who toured the
North ami East on a special train for
the purpose of making Texas Under-
stood by the cities visited appear to
have* succeeded in making Texas
more misunderstood. The party wa.(
headed by Governor Dan Moody, ..ml
despite that all he could do and mem-
bers of the party said to the con-
tiaiy, tiie Eastern papers and the
Eastern (toople insisted that the tour
v.ii political in purpose and intended
to exploit Moody | as a prospective
candidate for vice president. No ef-
lort was m.uie on the part of the
Easteme r to conc« al the fact that
they believed the Texans were more
inu rested in Moody s political for-
tunes than in making Texas betu-r
known to them. The newspapers
largely ignored any other interpre-
tation of th< \isit, however much the
lexar. tri. I to t< II them of the won-
derful recourses of ot'r great State.
11 fact a large number of the pajiers
almost ignored the visitors altogeth-
ii, giving small space and incon-
spicious position to the visit. Even
the Texa- daily papers gave little
spaot to the trip as a Texas construc-
tive news item.
Heme Missionary Effort
The facts st ted in the foregoing ,
p .rapraph load to restatement of an (
opinion several times expressed in
thes*' articles, which is that, the
greatest field for making Ttxas un-
e:-.-tstand is rignt here ir. Texas. That
as all along be<?n the prime purpoi;«> i
of the article to bring Texans u
knowing more about what is being
done throughout the State and
through that to a greater interest
and ji-ide in Ttxas achievements.
~.n.'« g<*t the people of Texas to i
or mpleto understanding of what we
have here and what <-an be done with
cur wonderful resources and they
will in numl erous ways carry the in-
formation to the people outside the
S'ato. Too i a iy Texan- have wl at: j
is called an "inferiority complex'' |
when it cornes to the possibility a
right about us. When that is- removed
through knowing Texas better, and
not until then, Texans will become
information missionaries carrying
the gLd tidings to other States.
Work of the Texas Pros*
The removal of this "inferiority
cinpU x" will to a large extent have
to be the work of the Texa Press,
which should use every < ffort to
teach Texas and preach Texas to
Texas people. Most newspapers, es
pecially in the smaller cities and
towns, become too localized. Often
this is Ix-eause lex- . I conditions are
-ueh that the papers feed they must-
spend th«ir efforts to improve these
even to the neglect of what ap[>oar
to be outside efforts. This writer
'iat long ha I the opinion that, the
best way to interest people in im-
proving local conditions is by show-
ing them what, others are doing to
help themselves, and that is why
these* articles are written. The paper*
th't use them se*em to think they
arc se*rving that purpose* not in a
way to show any remarkable results,
but gradually arid effectively. Th"
press is the greatest medium of in-
formation. A press conetarf in its
enthusiasm for Texas can impart its
tnthusiasm to those it reixhea.
