I HOUSEWIVES IN
MOVE TO SERVE
HOME PRODUCTS
Conference Os Women, Grocers
And Truck Growers Called
For Friday
Believing that prosperity, like char
ity, should begin at home, and that
there is chance for great improve
ment of our own condition by living
at home to the greatest possible ex
tent, instead of sending our money
elsewhere to buy necessities of no
higher and even lower quality and
value, the women of, the Woman’s
'club of- Americus have undertaken
a movement to change customs and
conditions here in that respect. Brief
ly, they believe, that inasmuch a:
Sumter county can and does produce
as fine vegetables and fruits as any
section in the world, and inasmuch
as great quantities of these products
are allowed to go to waste on' the
local farms and truck patches, while
other great quantities are imported
from Florida, California and other
distant sections, a concerted effort on
the part of the housewives, aided by
the merchants and farmers, will rem
edy the situation to a great extent
and save thousands of dollars to the
community annually.
And so a conference has been ar
ranged for next Friday afternoon
at 2:30 o’clock at the Carnegie li
braary. Every housewife in Sumter
county, first, is urged to be present,
because it is realized that the move
ment must first come from the. con
sumers. Then all the grocers and
other dealers in green and canned
goods of all sorts are asked to be
present to exchange, views* and lend
co-operation to the movement, which
all agree, if it succeeds will benefit
the business men of the community
as much as anyone else. And, last
ly, all truckers and farmers interest
ed in growing vegetables fdr the' io-’'
cal market are invited and urged to
attend, for it is recognized that with
out systematic growing and market
ing and the ability of local growers
to supply the demand, the movement
would fail.
Mis. George Van Riper, chairman
of the special committee c*f the Wo
man’s club handling this movement,
is issuing an invitation to all the
other women’s clubs of the communi
ty to have their memberships present
at this conference Friday afternoon
so that the movement may be given
the proper start.
It’s a shame that we have such
conditions as exist here,” <said one
Aipericus woman today. “Vegetables
are rotting on our farms for want of
buyers, and yet we go to the stores
and pay f?mcy prices for stale stuff
shipped in from other states. We
need to get co-operation between th«
truckers, merchants and housewives.
When we get that our problem will
be largely solved, as far as vegetables
arc concerned. Then we need can
ning factories. It is preposterous ty

DAYIS CHANGED
!T0 WEDNESDAY;
CONTRACTS FOR
YEARARESICNED
Merchants Enter Into Arrange
ments With Times-Recordcr
To Handle Ail Detail Work
RJerchants members of the Ameri
cus Advertising club announced to
day that the Americus Golden Rule
Sales, which were inaugurated last
November but dropped temporarily
in January because of low stocks of
goods immediately following the
Christmas season, will he. resumed
with the biggest and best sale yet
on the first Wednesday in March,
which falls on March 1. Plans have
been in the making for two weeks
to get this sale under way, and indi
cations are now that it will be the
greatest and most popular bargain
event Americus has ever seen.
In re-establishing the Goldeu Rule
sales, which proved very popular, and
| brought much new trade from a dis
tance to Americus, the merchants of
Americus have entered into a new
arrangement, having signed individ
ual contracts with the 'rimes Record
er for one year to handle all adver
tising and circular printing and all
distribution of the same at a fixed
minimum rate, thereby limiting their
own liabilities to the uniform figure
in the contract named and removing
from the officers and members of the
club, who are all business men, the
burden of detail work in connection
with the monthly sales. All gather
ing of copy for the advertisements
and collections for same, wlßch pre-'
viously were undertaken by the of
ficers ol the Ad club, will now be
done by the Times-Recorder as a part
of its service under the contract.
The only innovation in connection ,
with the coming sales','Td far aS The '
public is concerned, is the change of
the sale day from the first Monday
to the first Wednesday in each month.
This change was authorized by the
Ad club members after due considera
tion and as a rsult of their experi
ence with the first two sales. They
reached the conclusion that farmers
who usually come to town on Satur
day are Veluetant to come again Mon
day, whereas they usually come some
time about the middle of the week.
Wednesday was hit upon as the best
day, since during the summer -months
Thursday afternoon is observed as a
half-holiday by practically all the
business houses of the city.
The farmers sale /6f second hand
goods, implements, and stock of all
kirids will be continued as an im
portant part of the monthly Golden
Rule event. It will remain in charge
of George O. Marshall, S. R. Heys
and W. J. Josey, the committee of
the Ad club placed in charge of it
originally. It is expected to grow in
usefulness to the farmer as time
goes on and more farmers avail them
selves of its opportunities to turn
unused or discarded property into
cash or pick up useful articles at bar
gain prices.
Citizens everywhere are nsked to
bear in mind the fact that March
1, will see the resumption of Golden
Rule sales in Americus on a large
scale, with.better values than ever.
