SYRUP MARKET
Every
Careful investigation shows the present market price for A No. 1, syrup is 30c a gallon,
farmer knows this price is too low.
Some of our customers need money to pay matured obligations of 1920 season, and to purchase
supplies for next season.
SOME DECISION MUST BE MADE

WE WANT TO HELP THE SITUATION
and for a limited time we will take A. No. 1, syrup in new iron bound barrells
for the above purposes
At 40 Cents a Gallon
This is over 33 per cent, above the present market price, and we believe as high as it will go in 1921.
Our customers must take into consideration it must be resold, and we must stand leakage, storage
charges, insurance and possible loss. This will only be for a few hundred barrells and when we have as
much as we can handle 'we will be forced to withdraw this offer. If you want to sell your syrup
without sacrificing it. ACT QUICKLY, for this is your chance.

Prof. Blocker was the founded of the
Cochran Business College, an institu

make a permanent one. The times
were so that he rould not get the

a success. He was principal of the
school at Blakely when he died. He
was well known and liked and as an
educator did his race much good. He
was not ill at all when he went to
bed. His family was generally prom
inent among the educators of his peo
