Columbus, Aug. 5—Officials of
the J. A. Kirven Co. Saturday
were laying plans for a week-long
celebration to mark the 70th an
niversary of the department store
August 4-11.
Five paper-mache birthday cakes
in display windows with three
layers and 70 candles eachWill
set the theme of the anniversary
week—‘'its our' birthday, but
your party,” store officials said.
Such hard-to-get items as men’s
dress shirts will be sold on spe
cial days of the birthday week.
Officials Saturday recalled tlu
colorful history of the department
store.
Just 11 years after the Civil War
had ended, J A. Kirven set up his
little dry goods and notions store
at 90 Broad Street in a small
frame building, 25 by 50 feet.
Kirven’s, keeping pace with the
development of Columbus, has
grown from its modest beginning
to a modern department store now
occupying more than 67,000 square
feet, exclusive of warehouse fa
cilities.
t his area will be nearly doubled
when the building program now
under way is completed a few
years hence.
It was in August, 1876, that the
store’s founder ran an advertise
ment in t he Enquirer-Sun an
nouncing his return from the mar
ket with “silks, alapacas and
cashmeres.” Magnolia hams sold
for 17 cents a pound, and bacon
“in canvas” for 18 cents.
Undoubtedly, many a Colum
bus matron purchased supplies
there for a vacation in White Sul
phur Springs in Meriwether coun
ty. It is even possible that sqme of
Kirven’s fabrics went into dresses
for girls getting ready to attend
Columbus Female College.
When Kirven’s began, cotton
was selling at 10 cents a pound
and “Joyous JuJep” was advertis
ed as a sure cure for neuralgia.
J. DuPont Kirven, son of the
founder and now president of the
J. A. Kirven Co., declared Satur
day, on the eve of the store’s
mammoth birthday celebration
that the store was looking for
ward to another three scores and
ten years of serving Columbus
and the Chattahoochee Valley.
“I envisage a great post-war ex
pansion program for Columbus,”
the merchant and civic leader
commented.”
CITY FOLKS GET THE
GRAVY. COUNTRY THE GREASE.
CONGRESSMAN PACE SAYS
Villa Rica, Aug 3—In 1930 the
best doctors in the country told
Mrs. A. H. Stockmar that she
could not live more than 18
months.
She had been thrown from a
horse and she had been injured
seriously internally.
But Mrs. Stockmar set out to
prove they were wrong.
And, though a horse had been
her nemesis, Mrs. Stockmar deter
mined horses would help her re
cover her health.
She and her husband left Bir
mingham, Ala., where they had
been living and went to a farm
which they owned two miles from
Villa Rica.
Mrs. Stockmar began to work—
and hard. While living in a one-
room cabin, she and her husband
started construction of a larger
home. They did the work them
selves with the help of a Negro
laborer or two-
Mrs. Stockmar kept her interest
in horses. She began breeding
thoroughbreds as a hobby.
Today, 16 years later, she is in
perfect health and she still spends
all her spare time riding her
horses and whispering “sweet
nothings” in their ears.
“You’re the most beautiful horse
in the world,” she tells her fine,
sleek stallion, “Golden Sunlight.”
As fo rher remarkable recovery
Mrs. Stockmar explains:
“I threw my back brace in the
well and took to the woods. That
did the truck. Now when I hear
anyone complain of their ills, I
always advise them: “Go to the
country and climb a hill’.”
Mrs. Stockmar and her husband
(whom everybody even the hired
help, calls “Buddy”) have literal
ly defined the word “versatility”
on their 1500-acre farm. There is
almost no end to the diversity of
their interests and their projects, i

Washington, Aug. 1—City dwell
ers can forget their dreams of fine
fancy food back on the farm. \
Take it from Representative
Stephen Pace (D. Ga.J, city folks
now have it all over country peo
ple when it comes to eating.
"It’s been that way ever since
the war started,” Pace complaineu
to a House Agricultural Subcom
mittee Wednesday. “When short
ages come, n s tne country folks
who get hit first.”
Pace told the sub-committee,
which is looking into the short
ages of fats and oils, that whole
salers take care of the city trade,
but ignore the small towns-
“Do you know wnere the salad
oils, the compounds and the lard
are being shipped in my state:
he asked. “Atlanta, that’s where.
You won’t find an ounce outstue
of Atlanta.”
Pace said he understands the
same thing is true all over the
country.
• “We get complaints from , every-
'where.” he saiu, "And they,’to ru
ral, every one of them.”
O. W. Herman, acting director
of the Department oi Agriculture's
Fats and Oils Division, said he
knew some sections aren’t getting
j-.cir fair share. but he said the
department has set up an emer-
supply to take care of
int-se regions.
He aacted, the shortages likely
would continue for another 18
months.
