THE FARMER—A BUSINESS MAN
TRUNDLE BEDDY
Mineral Wells Index: Sleeping on
a trundle-bed had a fine effect on
those fortunate enough to have slep*
in them. There are many, many liv-
ing examples in proof of this even
unto this good day. For instance,

Is farming your chosen profession?
Or has circumstances and necessity
compelled you to follow this profes-
sion. Either way are you applying a
common sense business method and
making farming a success? No busi-
ness ever succeeds without organi-
zation and system. Haphazard farm-
ing merely drifting along the line or
least resistance, will as surely spell
defeat as unpreparedness and slip-
shod methods in other business. Or- j
ganization and system the mainspring
of all industry should pay as great
dividends in the business of farm- ,
ing as any profession.

climate conditions, crops best suited
to your locality, with a diversity that

Though no official announcement

had agreed to a definite program on 4

The decisions were reported to havu

OLD WAY TO FIGHT PED-
DLERS TOLD IN NEW WAY
The Rockdale Reporter tells the fol-
lowing story which might be read
with profit by local business people:
"Retail merchants are prone to con-
demn the practice of buying from
itinerant venders of merchandise who
drop into a community and "take or-
ders" for goods that ought to be
bought from the local dealers. The
| Reporter's observation is that both
private and public protest is unavail-
ing. However, a Caldwell merchant
last week used some newspaper pub-
licity that ought to be effective. He
caused to be purchased from an itin-
erant peddler of hosiery several sam-
ples of the peddlers goods and then
placed these samples on dispay in
his store side by side with similar
hosiery of his own stock and showed
by comparison the superiority of his
own goods as to quality and price.
He was actually selling a better
article for less money than the ped-
dler. It goes to show that the judi-
cious advertising of prices and quality
that ho favored an exhaustive Inves-
tigation of the highway department
as soon as the special session is called.
