The Benevolent Association.
Several years ago the Weather-
ford Benevolent Association was
organized and officers and directors
were elected. There has never
again been another election held
and one by one the directors have
either died or moved toother towns
until there was not one left on the
first of the past September. When
this condition came to pass, W. W.
McCrary, who for a long while had
efficiently and faithfully acted as
secretary of the organization, re-
signed as such, and advised the
calling together of all those chari-
tably inclined in the city for the
purpose of electing new officers and
directors. The suggestion, how-
ever, passed unheeded until Mayor
Miller and one or two others inter-
ested in matters of this nature be-
gan the agitation of the question
with the result- that it has been
decided that this morning at
the union Thanksgiving service
at the Methodist church after the
taking of the collection for the
poor, which follows the preaching
of the sermon, these new officers

1 The other day while “noseing”
around town a Local man was at-
tracted by a small crowd standing
on the street corner earnestly dis-
cussing some important question,
and just through curiosity we went
near enough to overhear what was
being said. —
"Yes sir,” said one gentleman,
"yon may go to Baker-Poston’s
any day and it’s almost impossible
to get around in their store for the
crowd. I never saw such a busi-
ness in my life as they are doing.”
Baker, Poston & Co. get trade
from every direction for more than
twenty-five miles, besides their
share of the city trade of Weather-
ford, because they get after it in a
business way. You will find their
advertisements in Mineral Wells,
Granbury, Gordon, Weatherford
and Springtown papers, and as a
consequence you will find people
from all those towns at their stores.
Does newspaper advertising pay
them? They have always adver-
tised in this manner from the time
they had only one small retail store
and their business has grown to
three large retail stores besides a
wholesale department, an increase
of business every year and an in-
crease of advertising in proportion.
Springtown has one or two mer-
chants who have tried advertising
6n a small scale and found jt paid
them well. If our merchants would
get after their trade like their con-
temporaries in other towns, a vast
amount of money that is justly
ours, but which goes to other towns
because of better inducements set
forth by enterprising merchants,
could be kept right here in town
and thus benefit ns all from the
peanut man to the banker. Bnt it
would take some money to secure
this trade; as for inducements, no
other town in Texas could offer
better, but when it comes to spend-
ing a few dollars for theupbuilding
of their town and their own per-
sonal benefit, our merchants, with
exceptions, would like for the other
fellow to foot the bill.—Springtown

Round About Town.
The other day, in passing the
store of Jno. M. Hart & Co., the
Rambler noticed a gentleman from
the country drive up with a hack
load of canne 1 tomatoes, and as he
hadn’t heard of a cannery being
established in this section, he pro-
ceeded to investigate. The farmer
was Mr. Sam H. Harris, who owns
a small farm just east of town,
and from him we gleamed the fol-
lowing facts.
Mr. Harris bought and improved
the place last fall and winter,
planting 27 acres in various kinds
of farm produce and vegetables.
Early in the spring he purchased a
Btnfill canning outfit, determining
to experiment in canning vegeta-
bles. He planted an acre and a
half of tomatoes, selling at the
opening of the season about $35
worth. Later, when the price de-
clined, he began canning them,
putting up a little less than 3,000
cans of the 3-pound size. These
he has found ready sale for; in
fact, has contracted for his entire
lot. That his experiment has
proven profitable is demonstrated
in the fact that Mr. Harris will
next year prepare to put up about
10,000 cans. Those who have
tried the tomatoes put up by Mr.
Harris say they are superior to
many of those put up by the large
canneries. The Herald congratu-
lates Mr. Harris on his success,
and hopes to see other farmers fol-
his example.
