MACON SPEAKERS ADDRESS
PERRY CIVITANS
n
Local Consumers Can Make Market For
Local Farm Products, Says W. T.
Anderson.
W, T. AndersoA, president and
editor of the Macon Telegraph, ad
dressed the Civitans Club of Per
ry Thursday night on the necessity
for keeping Georgia money i n
Georgia. P. T. Anderson, president
of the Aluoou Chamber of Com
merce; Angus E. Bird, cashier of
the Citizens & Southern Fank. and
Malcom L>. Ainsworth, recently
elected manager of the Macon Con
vention Bureau, also made short
talks.
In bis address the Macon editor
gave several instances of expendi
tures that are being made out of
the state for products of an in
ferior quality to those raised with
in Georgia's borders. He urged the
establishment of Markets for
Ceoryia products.
That the farmer will eagerly
grow the product for which there
is a ready market there is no
question, the local consumer can
"start a market with a nickel," he
said. Milk for instance, a product
contaiuiug the largest number of
elements necessary to life and good
health should be consumed in the
place of harmful or practical
ly usless drinks. By spending a
nickel at the soda fount or else
where you may start the healthful
milk drinking habit, a demand for
more and tnore milk, thus building
a profitable market for local farm
and dairies.
Green vegetables grown by local
farmers are most healthful foods
should be demanded by the con
sumer. The vegetables will be pro
duced in sufficient quantity when
local consumers demand them
instead of products from other
states.
The prosperity of Georgia de
pends quite as much on the buyer
and consumer as upon the farmer,
an4 when the two co-operate in
the fullest extent prosperity in
town and country in Georgia will
come such as never been dreamed.
His address impressed the Civi
tans so forcibly that President
Nunn invited him to return with
in a few weeks to give the same
address to a mass meeting of Per
ry citizens.
At the invitation of P. T. An
derson, former district governor of
Kiwanis in Georgia, the club ac
cepted an invitation he extended
on behalf of the Macon Kiwanis
Clnb to entertain the Perry or
ganization March 10. President
"Nunn announced that the entire
membership would endeavor to
be present.
