To Flour Consumers
of Taylor County
It has been reported to me that
there were some consumers of
flour who had purchased flour un
der and by the “Card System” and
during the thirty days for which
the card was given, have gone
forward and purchased flour at
ether towns under the 50-50 rule.
Now, it is not the purpose of the
Food Administration to work a
hardship upon any person; but let
me give due and timely warning,
if any other infraction of the rules
governing the Federal Food Ad
ministration for Georgia should be
reported as having occurred in
Taylor County, then the strong
arm of the law will be invoked.

Copyri*at l‘«N, by C. E. Zimmerman Co.--No. 53
YOUR daughter will never come to
this if you have no money in the
bank. If you were to investigate the
families who have accomplished daughters, you would
find that in practically every instance a bank account is
started for their education when they were children.
You envy such people, so will your children when they
grow up unless they have the same advantages. So think
how much a bank account will mean to them and start
one today.
