land for each on their father's
farm or near their homes and
with a total investment of $750
teach them to earn an average
net profit of $132 on each acre of
land.
As chairman of agricultural
committee of the Chamber of
Commerce, he convinced that body
that it could be done with proper
financial assistance.
Banks Back Boys.
Elmer H. Griffin, cashier of
the Savings Bank and treasurer
of the trade body, announced that r'M
Griffin banks wduid finance the
project with the co-operation of
the chamber.
The proposition was turned over
to these two men and Mr. Griffin
made the necessary arrangements
to buy seed, fertilizer and poison.
The work was then started.
The boys became interested and
followed the advice and inetrnc
tions of “Tap.”
Busineas Organisation.
The club toon developed into a
business organization that was
conducted by the boys themselves.
They kept complete records,
made their own notes at the bank,
discharged their own obli
and were ready
