“WHERE THERE IS no vision,
the people perish. 1 ’
♦ * * *
ORCHIDS go to two local far¬
sighted and hardworking busi¬
nessmen whose dreams have
come true. They are Wendell P.
Simms and Abie Futch.
WENDELL P. SIMMS has op¬
erated a fish market on the
corner of West Broad and
Waldiburg Streets for many
years. Outwardly until a few
years ago, he seemed happy
with his business in a wood
.1 "living frame building and his family
in the rear. About eight
years ago, we saw him in his
backyard making cement blocks
aided by his two pre-teenage
sons. As the months went by
the number of these blocks In¬
creased into the hundreds.
Finally, this work ceased. About
two years later Mr. Simms be¬
gan tearing down the frame
building in which his fish mar¬
ket was located, using a small
building in the rear for his
business. We watched him from
day to day (his property is
located in the same block as
the Savannah Trihune) until
the full two lot frontage of the
building was torn town. Then
the process of rebuilding with
the cement blocks was started
and completed. All of this work
was done by Mr. Simms and
his sons. Finally, red bricks
were delivered and Armstead
Gaston was seen aiding in lay¬
ing them over the cement block
foundation. Upon completion
there now stands a two story
brick building. Two compart*
merits downstairs are rented to
a barber and a beautician and
the corner compartment is used
by Mr. Simms for his fish
market. Upstairs is occupied by
the Simms family (Mr. and Mrs.
Simms and four children) for
living quarters with one apart¬
ment rented. Mr. Simms states
that there is still much to be
done in the rear of the proper¬
ty to complete his vision. How¬
ever, we wish to congratulati
him on the progress he has
made on a “Do It Yourself
Basis'’ which was also on a
Cash Basis and we add our
best wishes for his future pro¬
gress.
ABIE FUTCH seemed out¬
wardly happy, too, with his
grocery store on the corner of
Duffy and West Broad Streets
About four years ago, Mr.
Futch engaged Ezra Johnson,
real estate broker, to locate the
owner of the vacant lots on
the northwest and southwest
i corners of 36th and West Broad
4 Streets. Soon the two sales were
] consummated. Mr. Futch hired
a contractor to build a cement
one -story structure on the
southwest corner in which he
moved his grocery business.
A few months later an addition
was made to this building
which is now rented as a cafe,
Washiteria and a cleaning plant.
It was not long before a build¬
ing was started on the north¬
west corner which turned out
to be a bungalow in which Mr.
Futch and his wife now reside.
However, a thirty foot vacant
lot was still left in the rear of
the bungalow. Soon another
building was started which now
houses a Home Improvement
Oo. Thus, two West Broad
Street corner lots which were
vacant since Oglethorpe’s foun-
ing of Savannah are now boom¬
ing with abundant life because
of the vision of one man, Abie
Futch. We extend our congrat¬
ulations and best wishes to this
farsighted businessman.

Warm Days Mean Extra Treat For Feet
Foot-care is especially important during warm weather. Vacation
time, you know, means double-duty for your feet. Most sightseeing
trips call for more walking and standing than you have ever dreamed
possible. Unhappy
feet can ruin an entire vacation. They can be responsible
for headaches, backaches and general and a
little attention to foot-care
make a big difference in your
holiday.
Start foot-care with your daily
bath. Scrub your feet briskly,
then rub them thoroughly with a
towel — both to step up circula¬
tion and take away loose skin.
Followup the bath with a foot
spray on your feet and in your
shoes. A spray like Eez gives you
built-in protection against ath¬
lete’s foot and it deodorizes,
absorbs moisture and guards
against rubbing.
Clip your toenails straight
across. Don’t try to shape them.
This helps prevent ingrown toe¬
nails. Push the cuticle back too,
as you do with fingernails.
Remember at all times that
proper standing and walking will
help case your feet. Sitting will
give them a lift... prop them on
