127,249 FORDS ARE
SOLD IN APRIL
FORD RETAIL SALES HIT NEW
HIGH MARK.—EXCEEDING THE
LARGEST PREVIOUS MONTH.
According to a report just received
from the Ford Motor Company, Detroit,
a daily average of 3,210 retail sales of
Ford ears and trucks had been reached
by the close of April in the United
States alone.
Fori sales of cars and trucks for the
month, including both domestic and
foreign, totaled 127,240. This estab
lishes anew high record, exceeding the
largest previous month, June 1921, by
15,4(17. The sale of Foudson Tractors
has also been steadily climbing. A to
tal of 11,181 Fordsons were sold dur
ing April in the United States, a daily
average of 409 having been reached by
the end of the month. This gives the
tractor a n.-w high sales record, and
shows 100 per cent increase over the
best month in 1921.
The Ford Company is enjoying a ban
ner year in all departments. Output of
Ford cars and trucks for the year, ac
cording to present estimates, will ex
ceed 1,100,00 which represents a ten per
cent increase over 1921.
Tlie Ford factory at Detroit is now
operating at full capacity, having a
force of mor? than 40,00 men on the
payroll. The scheduled output for May
will probably reach 135,000 cars and
trucks, which will be applied against
orders approximating 165,000.
Despite the attempt of the factory
and the twenty-three assembling plants
in the United States to produce a suf
ficient number of cars to meet tlie un
usually heavy demand, it has been im
possible for Ford dealers in most cas
es to make immediate deliveries.

THE SHEIK PLAYED
TO GOOD HOUSES ON
TUESDAY AND WED.
Patrons Highly Pleased With High
Class Production Played by the
New Management.
The Strand Theater opened up Tues
day under the management of A. F.
.Carselle, with “The Sheik” as tlie at
traction for two days. Despite the
fact that Tuesday night was graduating!
exercises at the school, a good house i
witnessed the performance, both af-j
ternoon and night on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The picture lovers were highly pleas
ed with tlie picture, with the lightings,
the manner in which they were put on
the screen and the improvements al
ready being made.
Tlie new management will in a siiort
time re-finish the walls, place chair
covers on the seats, put in dark lights
overhead, making the soft, moonlight
effect and a number of improvements
will be made just as fast as they can.
The new manager has already dem
onstrated her ability as a manager of
a motion picture house, by her untir
ing efforts.
Tlie attendance upon the showing of
Tlie Sheik also demonstrated the fact
that Winder people preferred a high
class attraction even at a higher price
than a cheap picture free.
Tlie attraction tonight is n high-class
picture featuring Elaine Hammerstein
in “Pleasure Seekers" and is a beauti
ful society drama, and anew picture.
On Friday night Ethel Clayton will
be the star in a feature picture.
On Saturday Wallace Itied will be
seen in a great picture, together with
a 2-reel comedy and a Mutt and Jeff
attraction.
■ We hope tlie picture going public will
see these pictures and show an appre
ciation of a high class program such as
the new management is showing.
Another thing that is of great im
portance to a good picture, and that it
be put on tlie screen right. This the
Strand is doing In tlie Sheik you
could not tell where one reel ended and
another began. This was due to the ef
forts of Miss Louise Carselle, daughter
of the manager, who is one of the best
projecting machine operators in the
state.
We believe everybody will appreciate
the good pictures that will now be seen
at The Strand and will show their ap
preciation by seeing them and telling
the management if they like them.

STOCKHOLDERS
MEETING NORTH GA.
FAIR ASSOCIATION
Tlie stockholders of the North Gu.
Fair met a few days ago, and after
some discussion, pro and eon, it was
decided to hold a fair this fall. Dates,
October 2nd to 7tli.
It was the consensus of opinion that
the fair was needed worse now than
ever before, as the farmers are looking
to diversification and not so much to
cotton.
Tlie 1921 fair demonstrated that the
farmers are Interested in making a liv
ing, and some cotton while tlie boll
weevil gets part of the cotton. The ex
hibits were equal to any in the state
and all told called in premiums two
thousand dollars ($2,000.00.)
In view of the excellent exhibits
made last year, it was agreed that tlie
premium lfiff should remain as high as
last year. However,, with a chance of
no cotton crop this fall, it is a ques
tion as to the "income of tlie fair being
sufficient to pay tlie big premiums, lint
it will lie taken. Almost every pre
mium will be the same as last year’s.
In doing this the directors ask the
co-operation of the farmers, and busi
ness men of the county.
Let every farmer begin early to set
aside specimens of tlie different crops
io lie used in a display this fall. All
boys and men who have good cows, hogs
and chickens, are requested to have
them ready to show. Cows, hogs and
chickens, with corn, wheat, oats, peas,
fruits, vegetables, os well as scores of
.other farm products and the ladies
building full of home work will make
a big show. It is hoped that an indus
trial exhibit can be arranged. Every
business house and every factory will
lie Invited to take part. Altogether it
will be a big show.
There are a few shares of stock for
sale at par value payable in the fall
with out interest. All parties interest
ed in anyway can address P. O. Box
324, or call phone No. 236, or come to
secretary’s office over J. B. Lay’s store.
If you want to buy stock let us know.
If you want to make exhibits, tell us
about it.
By order of Board of Directors.
STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION
NOT TO BE HELD IN MONROE.
Owing to tlie fact that Georgia Bap
tists feel that an unusually large at
tendance should be worked for at the
next annual convention in November,
and feeling that such a large gathering
would be too great a tax upon the peo
ple of Monroe, tlie executive committee,
through Secretary B. D. Ragsdale, lias
offered tlie First Baptist church of
Monroe its services in changing the
place of meeting. A letter to this ef
fect was read at tlie morning service
on last Sunday, when it was voted to
accept the offer of the committee,
which means that this great convention
will not assemble in our city this year.

BUSINESS MEN MET
WITHA.W.M’KEAND
AT COURT HOUSE
Many Points of Special Interest to
Winder and Barrow County Cit
izens Was Touched on by This
Special Representative
Mr. A. W. McKeand, the personal
representative of Secretary F. H. Ab
bott of the Georgia Association visit
ed Winder on last Monday, as was an
nounced in tlie Winder News of last
week.
A number, of Winder’s influential
business men met with Mr. McKeand at
the court house for an hour s discus
sion with him.
Among the many points of special
interest touched upon by Mr. McKeand
were the following.
Tlie Georgia Association is an amal
gamation of tlie old Georgia < hamber
of Commerce and the Georgia Land
Owners Association. Each of these or
ganizations did a lot of very splendid
work in advertising, immigration, tick
eradication and other worthwhile work
for Georgia.
Tlie Georgia Association is officered
by a group of tlie best business men in
the state, whose time and money are
freely given without hope of material
reward in any way, realizing that en
lightened selfishness demands a part of
every citizen’s time and finance for the
general good. Tin* officers are scatter
ed over the state, and represnt practi
cally every line of business endeavor.
Tlie organization is supported in its
finances by two fnnds: One a mainte
nance fund, subscribed by the larger
visioned business men of tlie state cov
ering the office salaries and expenses.
Tlie other fund is known as nil adver
tising fund, and is made up from coun
ty contributions varying according to
tlie land area, tlie population and the
wealth of the county.
The main purpose of tlie association
is to bring first-class native-born, or
naturalized American farmers, to cul
tivate intensively Georgia’s unused, or
badly used acres; to get away from tlie
tenant system; to make each farm a
factory to return to the soil through
the live stock and dairy industry nat
ural fertilizers instead of commercial.
Naturally the advertising and sales
manship that attract this type of peo
ple will attract Investors in other lines
aside from the farm indusry, tint ev-.
cry well posted business man knows
that the real foundation of all wealth
comes from the farm.
The plan of advertising is paid space
campaign in papers and periodicals,
tin* preparation and distribution of
properly prepared booklets; one cov
ering the historical, sentimental and
scenic side of Georgia, for distribution
to encourage tourists to know Georgia.
A specially prepared booklet on agri
cultural and industrial Georgia. Raid
newspaper space in a selected locality
for each co-operating county. A bul
letin hoard system covering the main
traveled highways of the state. Special
series of Georgia stories. A plan to
cause each jiersoii to use ou their sta
tionery, literature, catalogs and in ev
ery way possible, a small outlined map
of the state of Georgia, urging people
to know it better.
In an informal discussion after Mr.
Keund's talk, it was decided in order
that an opportunity might be had for
more of Winder and Barrow county
citizens to meet Mr. McKeand, that he
would advise us again, that a meeting
would advise the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, when he could
visit us again, that a meeting be held
under the auspices of tbe Barrow Coun
ty Chamber of Commerce, which date
they hope to announce In next week's
paper.
