Where Satisfaction is a Certainty
An Honest Statement
About Sweet Potatoes
TO THE BUYING PUBLIC:
A situation almost acute in its nature has
arisen in connection with Georgia’s sweet
potato crop. *
Thousands upon thousands of bushels of
Porto Rican Yams, and a few other varieties,
were raised in Georgia during the past season.
Sweet potatoes were turned to as a money
crop by thousands of farmers in Georgia
when the boll weevil made its ravishes on our
cotton crop. A tremendous crop has been
grown and fathered, and the fanners of this
State are entitled to a just remuneration for
their work—entitled to fair consideration,
and to the co-operative assistance of the buy
ing public.
Unfortunately, in many sections, due to
lack of definite and correct knewledge in cur
ing methods, some of the potato crop has not*
been handled in such a way as to insure its
keeping for any great length of time. As a
consequence thousands upon thousands of
bushels—carload upon carload—of Georgia
sweet potatoes are now being offered on the
market. Their sale, just at this time, due to
the condition of the potatoes themselves, is
almost a'necessity, in order that the fanners
of Georgia may realize even a moderate
amount for their labors.
The L. W. Rogers Company is doing all it
can to help farmers dispose of their sweet
potato crop. We are being besieged daily
with requests from growers all over the State
td let them ship us many carloads. Of course,
we can use only a limited amount. We wish
we could handle the entire crop of every
farmer in peorgia. They are deserving of it.
And wh:le we are selling a great amount
of sweet potatoes, using every care to
sort and grate practically all of
the crop that reaches us, we still find that
occasionally a few bad potatoes may slip by.
But we are doing the best we can—not only
to help the farmer dispose of about the only
money crop he has just now—but to insure
the best of potatoes for our customers.
We are handling this crop at this time at
practically no profit to ourselves. We are
standing even a loss in some cases—due to
deterioration and other causes.
OUR PURPOSE IN THIS ANNOUNCE
MENT IS TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION
TO THIS SITUATION—TO URGE UPON
THE BUYING PUBLIC TO BUY AND EAT,
MORE SWEET POTATOES.
IN FACT, LET’S HAVE A SWEET
POTATO WEEK—OR A MONTH. They
ARE AN EXCELLENT FOOD—THEY CAN
BE PREPARED IN A DOZEN DELICIOUS
WAYS.
WHO WOULD SWAP A SWEET, DE
LICIOUS, JUICY, BAKED POTATO, JUST
FROM THE OVEN, WITH GOOD FRESH
BUTTER MELTED UPON IT, FOR ANY
SORT OF DISH?
WHAT IS MORE TEMPTING OR PALA
TABLE THAN FRIED SWEET POTATOES
FOR BREAKFAST? WHAT IS RICHER,
MORE PALATABLE, OR MORE INVITING
THAN A DELICIOUS PIECE OF POTATO
CUSTARD — OR A BIG POT PIE, OR A
FINE POTATO PUDDING? OH, THERE
ARE MANY WAYS IN WHICH THEY ARE
DELICIOUS. BUY THEM AND USE
THEM. » ' . „
And while your purchases of sweet pota
toes just now will mean but little to the
Rogers Company, it will mean a GREAT
DEAL to the farmers of Georgia.

was inspired by the relatively
