Pairs Tell Texas Story
The fall fairs in Texas have never
before been so attruetive in the dis-
nlay of Texas products and have never
drawn such crowds. The Texas State
Fair at Dallas had an atU ndance :!ur-
in(r its 10 days of 1,028,317 and. so
far as known, not one person of the
more than a million registered a
complaint. The fair was all that
could have been expected, or kick.4 in
plenty would have been forthcoming.
Perhaps three times as many as wvre
at Dallas attended the smaller fairs
in the State, and, whither they ad-
mitted it or not. all of them got the
worth of their money in entertainment
and usvful information. These pros-
perous Texas fairs, from th«- smallest
community effort to the l ijr State Fair
have told eloquently of thv prosperity
of Texas.
Texas Ituildine Progress
The September building survey
shows that Texas ranked ninth among
the states in the volume of building
for thv month and that the increase
was about 50 per cent over that of
September 192fi. Amarillo and Dal-
las ranked, respectively seventeenth
and eighteenth among all the cities
of the country in Se ptember building
volume. San Angelo, which most of
us think of as a big town rather than
as a city, stood seventh among the
cities of "Texas in building permits is-

about the growth of Texas, you have
only to look at the statistics. It is a

than the Texas papers. Most of

The increased interest in dairying
in Texas has stimulated increased at-

foods, and it will buy fifty thorough-

Useful ideas and profitable meth-
od- are found by the same process.
Many of us sometimes feel like the
man who. in 1K33, resigned his posi-
tion in the United States Patent Of-
fice for the reason, as he said, there
was nothing more to be patented. At
that time, 57G patents had been is-
sued. Today the patent office issues
at the rate of about 800 a day.
Many of the inventions that today
.j | serve humanity were scoffed at be-
fore anyone was found who would
undertake to develop them.
New selling, advertising and mer-
handising methods that will increase
iles or improve service come from
digging into a business and finding
out what is wanted, w hat will push j ),|j,
that business ahead. New ideas, or •
new ways of applying old ideas, may
come now and again from inspira-
tion, but we find they usually come to
the urface only after much thinking
and searching.
Som • one has said that it takes a
great deal of boldness mixed with
much caution to make a fortune, but
that it takes as much care and judg-
ment to keep it as it did to make it.
That thought might aptly be applied
to a bu-ine s. A business never has
-uffici- nt reserve momentum to keep
it going without the powerful shoul-
der of the man behind it.
Constant watchfulness for ideas
and useful methods, and the right
i e of those ideas and methods will
keep any business out in front and
mak.- its owner a profit. Wyatt's
