Spend Your Dollars With Home Town Business IVlen
H. F. GILMORE—LUMBER
That Mr. H. F. Gilmore has made
a success of his lumber business can
be attributed to one outstanding fac
tor: dint of hard work, perseverance
in the face of obstacles; determina

times, Mr. Gilmore has “stuck to

possible.
He carries a full line of paints,
glass, builders’ hardware and lum

considering building or else repair
ing to get in touch with Mr. Gilmore.
His telephone is 146. He is taking
part in this Buy-It-In-Butts-County
program because he is public-spirited
and because he is interested in the
economic life of this section. Such a
man deserves your patronage,
friends; for money spent with him
stays in Butts county, to further
build this section.
Mr. Gilmore is a worthwhile citi

life and doing it well. Let’s show
cur appreciation of him by giving
him our business. — (Adv.)
Mr. A. F. Whitney is manager of
the store and has had about 20
years experience. He too was asso

Folks, patronize a man like Mr.
Stodghill. He buys your country pro
duce, and if we want to have more
money, we must keep money in cir
culation. When you spend your mon
ey with a firm who sends our money
cut of the county, it only serves to
make us all poorer. But when you
spend it with a man like Mr. Stod

all of us have a more equal chance
of getting some of it back.
Mr. Stodghill is a good citizen; a
good merchant, and deserves our

43,500 GEORGIANS
ASK FEDERAL AID
TO APRIL FIRST MORE THAN
40,000 FARMERS HAD AP
PLIED FOR LOANS. TOTAL
MAY RUN TO 65,000
Athens, Ga.—More than 43,500
Georgia farmers had applied to the
regional crop production loan office
at Washington, D. C. for loans in
the first four months of 1933, ac
cording to figures released from the
offices of the Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service today. Four dis
trict men of the Agricultural Ser
vice are in Washington handling
these applications, which are still
coming in rapidly.
The crop production loans were
initiated as an emergency measure
of the government for giving relief
to storm stricken or drought stricken
areas, but in the last two years the
service has been extended to the en
tire country as a farm relief meas
ure. In 1932 Georgia farmers sent
in approximately 45,000 applications.
This year it is estimated by Mr. Har
ry Brown of the Extension Service
that the application will reach 65,-
000 since 43,671 had come in by
April 1.
The maximum crop producion loan
to a farmer is S3OO. The average of
the loans to Georgia farmers so far
this year has been $92 per applica
tion. The government takes a crop
mortgage when it makes the loan,
the crop serving as the only col
lateral.
The farmers on their loan appli
cations present a program of bal
anced crop production. “The appli
cations are in better shape than ever
before so far as cropping plans and
acreage production are concerned, ’
Mr. Brown declares. “They indicate
that Georgia farmers are developing
a much better balanced system of
farming.

ETHERIDGE-SMITH COMPANY
A complete, modern department
store—one that does credit to a
much larger city than Jackson—such
is this writer’s opinion of the Ether
idge-Smith Cos. Dept, store, located
on Third street. Ever since 1882—
a long period of time —it has served
the people of this section faithfully
and well, and today, it holds and en
joys the utmost degree of confidence
and goodwill; the men composing
the organization respected and ad
mired by everyone.
Folks, why go to Macon or Grif
fin or Atlanta for your needs when
such a complete department store is
right at hand? No matter what your
wants may be, for man, woamn o>. -
child—you can get them at this store
at prices consistently low; in fact,
much lower than you can get in
larger cities where overhead ex
penses have to be added to selling
costs. Years of experienced buying

SPENCER MOTOR COMPANY
“Service that Satisfies” is the
significant slogan -of the Spencer
Motor company, authorized Ford
dealers for Butts county. And it is
a slogan that Mr. L. M. Spencer,
owner of the business, lives up to.
Mr. Spencer is one of the coun
ty’s most successful business men,
and it has been through close atten
tion to his work that has enabled him
to make his agency here one of the
outstanding agencies in the state.
Born and reared in Butts county,
Mr. Spencer took over the local
agency three years ago, but has had
lleven years previous experience un
der the former Ford agent. It can
be seen, therefore, that he is fully
qualified by experience to carry on
the business so successfully.
Folks, have you seen the new
Ford? Have you ridden in it? No use

it’s superior qualities; it’s smooth
SWEET JESSAMINE DAIRY
One of the most complete, modern
dairies this writer has ever seen —
a dairy that reflects no little credit
to this community—is the Sweet Jes
samine Dairy, owned and operated
by Mr. Gordon H. Thompson.
Mr. Thompson was born and rear
ed in Butts county. Starting 20 years
ago with only one cow, he now milks
approximately 20 cows, all of them
pure-bred, registered Jers'es, and
let this newspaperman say again, it
is the healthiest, best conditioned
herd of cattle we have seen in a long
time, attesting to careful feeding
which is necessary to produce grade
A quality milk.
Mr. Thompson also told us that his
herd of cows was the first in Butts
county to be tested for tuberculosis
and is tested at regular intervals.
Every precaution is taken to assure
patrons of the purest milk possible,
PAUL TY*LER & COMPANY
Here’s a story of a man who start
ed with nothing, hut by dint of per
severance and square business deal
ings has built up a modest little bus
iness, holds the utmost degree of
goodwill and confidence of everyone.
We have reference to Mr. Paul Ty
ler, owner of the grocery and mar
ket bearing his name.
Mr. Tyler came to Jackson about
13 years ago. He at once won- his
way into the friendship of everyone
by his congenial disposition. Opening
his store, he served quality groceries
at fair prices and in his market, sold
only the best grades of meats. To
day, his market is equipped with
Frigidaire, assuring his patrons of
pure meats kept right under all wea
ther conditions.
Every dollar spent with Mr. Tyler
stays in Butts county. For years, he
has been buying native cattle from

very best, at prices you wont mind
paying.
This popular store is part-and
parcel of this community. It has al
ways lent itself and it’s influence
to any civic movement for the com
munity good. Jackson without tfye
Etheridge-Smith company would be
greatly handicapped, since it brings
to this county a selectivity of mer
chandise not generally found in
towns this size.
A well-stocked furniture depart
ment, a grocery department—in ad
dition to dry goods, ready-to-wear,
clothing, shoes, etc.—the store is>
recognized headquarters for high
grade merchandise, and yet, the
prices are not high. Let’s show our
appreciation of this modern store by
spending our money there, and let’s,
quit sending our money out of Butta
county, to enrich some other sec
tion.— (Adv.)
motor and powerful engine. You
must see it for yourself to appreciate
it’s beauty; it’s speed and it’s low
cost of upkeep.
Mr. Spencer is also showing a
number of re-conditioncd used cars
at exceptional low prices. Expert
mechanics, trained by Ford, have
placed these cars in A-l condition,
and they are real buys, too.
His repair department is under
supervision of expert Ford mechan
ics; men who know how *to nepair
cars right and at a minimum period
of time. They are thorough in all
their work.
Mr. Spencer is participating in
this Buy-It-In-Butts-County program
because he is public-spirited and be
cause he believes in the future de
velopment of his county. He’s that
type of man—progressive, loyal to
his county.— (Adv.)
and when we inspected his dairy, ws
saw how spic and span the premises
are kept. Mr. Thompson uses the De-
Laval automatic milking machine.
He makes one delivery early every
morning.
• Folks, here’s a man who started
off in a small way and has built
a-model dairy. He is proud of his
dairy and has every right to be. It
is called “Sweet Jessamine,” and
those of you who are familiar with
this delicate little flower, know it
for it’s sweetness and purity. In se*
lecting a name for his dairy, Mr.
Thompson couldn’t have hit upon a
name that carried out so well tho
kind of milk he sold.
If you haven’t tried Sweet Jessa
mine milk, folks, do so at once.
Phone 2403 and see the difference.
You’ll become a regular customer,
we promise you.—(Adv.)
Butts county farmers. Not only cat
tle, but country produce of all kinds,
and this money has continued to cir
culate in the county.
Folks, if we would have more mon
ey, we should see to it that our mon
ey is spent with merchants, who live
here, who pay taxes for the support
of our institutions and our local gov
ernment. Mr. Tyler is a loyal citizen;
a man who is doing his full part in
any program for the good of his
county and fellowman. When you
buy groceries or meats from him,
you are not only getting full value
for every penny spent, but you are
keeping your-money at home, some
of which will come back to you.
Patronize Mr. Tyler, folks. He de
serves your business and he is striv
ing to the best of his ability to please
you. His store is an asset to this
community.— (Adv.)
