Did You Ever
Stop to Think
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.
THAT what makes it worth while
for the non-advertiser to spend mon
ey in advertising is just the same rea
.son that the successful business uses
it for, and that is because it brings
profitable returns.
THAT advertising not only makes
a bigger, better business, but it makes
bigger, better.business men.
THAT the wisest and most pro
e gressive business men are the liberal
-advertisers. /
THAT good advertising that per
meates the advertising columns is ab
sorbed and retained by the buying
- public. : .
THAT due to the increased atten
tien women are paying toudvertis
ing, the use of the printed page is
becoming more necessary in every
line of business. - &
THAT the buying public has a heb
by.
THAT this hobby is reading adver
tisements, The business that does
not advertise is out of luck.
THAT it is logesome and unprofi
‘table work.
THAT the best way to do is to
create a 2 demand by advertising.
THAT is profitable work.
Advertising is the greatest aid to
modern business.

large circle of loving friends to
mburn her loss. :
gan 78 years ago and spent her early
g4n 78 years ago and pent her early
life in that state. She first married
Mr. Terry of which union there were
four children, three- of whom :grew
to manhood and survive her. These
aré E. S., Richard and Henry Terry,
of Portland, Oregon.
After; some years of widowhood
‘M#s. Thayer married Mr. * Alonzo
Tarner. and made her home in lowa
until they came to this colony city
jn 1898 with their three children.
They lost a little son shortly after
and it was by his side that Mrs.
Thaygr was {nterred by her express-
Not long after the family had lo
cated here, Mr. Turner .secured the
position of caretaker of the Ander
sonville Park adjoining the National
cemetery at Andersonville,-and there
the family resided until the death of
Mr. Tarner in 1909. Mrs. Turner
then came again to Fitzgerald and
madé a home for her sons, E. S. Ter
ry, Richard Terry and Dr. Louis
Turner, whose death occurred last
March and from the sflock of which
Mrs. Thayer never quite recovered.
It was in 1915 that Mrs. Turner be
came the wife of Mr. Louis Thayer

in 1921.
Mrs. Thayer has been for more than
twenty- years a faithful member of
the local Christian church. She is

pecially the S. S. class of Loyal Wom
en of which she was so long a mem
ber. None knew her but to love her.;
In early September Mrs. Thayer
was accompanied by her son, Mr.
Richard Terry and her friend, Mrs.
Marie Thomas on an automobile trip
to her old home in lowa where she
much enjoyed seeing the places and
faces that were dear to her youth.
This trip was rather strenuous for her
failing strength however, and her de
cline has been rapid since her return.
Her immediate survivors are her
three sons and her daughter, Mrs.
Olin Esterlin, of Tampa, Fla.; her
widowed daughter in law, Mrs. Louis
A. Turner and granddaughter, Mary
Frances Turner, who have had her
very much in their home.
The funeral services were held

Christian church, Rev. Bruce Nay,
conducting. A quartet choir was
composed of Mesdames J. Davis and
J. E. Lobingier and Messrs Joe Davis
and Burr Stokoe, Mrs. J. A. Parrott

the casket and chancel. The Loyal
Women were present in a body also

THE FITZGERALD LEADER
FATHER-SON EVENING
BE HELD BY LOCAL
CLUB OF LIONS
Every Lion to Entertain
Son or Some Other ‘
at Next Luncheon
Fathers and sons are to be the fea
ture of the Lion’s at their next ses
sion, which will be held Friday even
ing December 10th, at the Lee-Grant,
according to the adoption of the re
port of the Welfare Committee at
the Lion’s luncheon Wednesday. A
special program of entertainment
will be provided for the benefit of the
boys, old and young, who will be the
guests of their fathers on this occa
sion.
Chairman W. A. Adams of the Wel
fare committee and Graley Hale,
~hairman of the program committee,
are in charge of the affair. An inter
esting feature of Wednesday’s lun
cheon was a brief talk by Mr. W. C.
White, of Hahira, general manager of
the Gold Leaf Cigarette Company,
which is to operate the first cigarette
factory using exclusively Georgia to
bacco, in Georgia.
Mr. White, who has been in the
manufacturing of tobacco for many
years, has made an exhaustive sur
vey of the prospects of Georgia rais
ing tobacco of the kinds most in use
for cigarettes and stated that in all
of his experience in the industry he
I\has never found better prospects than
in this section of Georgia.
“Georgia tobacco growers need
never fear producing g greater crop
of bright leaf tobacco than the mar
ket can consume,’”’ stated the speak
er, “providing they raise good tobac
co and get it well cured before plac
ing on the market. Such tobacco will
always be in demand and bring high
prices.”
Another interesting talk was made
by Lion Singleton on “Man.”” Miss
Aleen Hampton accompanied on the
piano by Miss Mary Chastain, de
lightfully entertained the club with
a vocal solo.
MRS. MINNIE KERR
The friends of Mrs. Minnie Kerr
who has for years made her home on
Lincoln avenue near the city, were
saddened to hear of her death which
occurred Sunday in Muskegon, Mich.,
where she had gone only a few weeks
previous to make her home with her
niece.
Failing health had, caused her to
give up her residence here, having
been widowed and living alone for a
number of ‘years.” : .
Some - coneern was . expressed by
friends here on her risk in making
the great change in climate in the
winter season, and it appears their
fears were justified.
Mrs. Kerr was 82 years old. She
leaves as her nearest survivors, her
granddaughter, Mrs. Kirkland, living
at Plains, Ga., and her niece, Mrs.
Barr in Muskegon, Mich.
FITZGERALD HOME

The home of Perry Fitzgerald,
north of the city in the Vaughn-Tay
lor district, wes destroyed by fire
Sunday morning, presumably caused

heavy on Mr. Fitzgerald.
MRS. J. L. JAY, SHELLMAN
Mrs. J. L. Jay, grandmother of
Col. Clayton Jay, beloved resident of
the city in the early colony days,
passed to her reward at the home of
her granddaughter, Mrs. J. M. Cur

DR. LOVE EXPLAINS
TO CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE PLANS
Believed Many Can Be
Interested in Dairy
Farms in County
Chamber of Commerce Holds
Special Meeting—Com
mittees Appointed
The special meeting of the Cham
ber of Commerce Tuesday night was
the best attended for some time,
numbers of farmers interested in the
Idairying business being present.
The meeting was especially called
to meet Dr. James R.. Love, of the
Seminole Milk Company, distributors
of milk at Jacksonville, whose prin
cipal supply is now being shipped
from Wisconsin.
Mr. V. L. Collier, of the A. B. &
A. agricultural department, who re
cently made a trip to Detroit to in
terest dairymen to locate along the
line of his railway, made a detailed
statement as to the possibilities of
the industry and the method of op
eration by the Seminole Milk Com
pany, which is operating on a large
scale in Florida and has milk sta
tions at several points in South Geor
gia.
Stating that the company would
have a minimum price of 26c per
gallon, of 4% butter fat containing
milk, delivered at their proposed lo
cal assembly plant, Mr. Collier
brought out that this price would
average a fair profit to the milk pro
duced. The Seminole Milk Company
operating in conjunction with the
Health Departments of Georgia and
Florida, requires milk produced under
sanitary conditions from healthy
cattle, which would be annually in
spected by a representative of the
state department of animal industry.
. Mr. Love also made a brief state
ment for his company and submitted
a blue print of a milking barn, as re
quired by the Florida state law,
which he stated could be built for
about $125.00 for the material, most
farmers being competent to construct
the barn with their own labor, plans
being furnished them by the com
pany.
A general discussion brought out
the information from dairymen pres
ent that milk could be produced at a
profit at the minimum price offered,
and a committee consisting of the ag
ricultural committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, R. E. Lee, chairman,
and Roscoe Kimball, Horace Paulk
and H. T. Troupe, were requested to
make a survey of the possible milk
producers, who would enter a con
tract to furnish a minimum of 500
gallons of milk daily, and report at
the ‘éifliest opportunity.
President J. H. Mayes presided and
in a brief talk endorsed the project.
Among the milk producers of the
county present were Mr. and Mrs, F.
L. Bigham, Mrs. E. Fox, H. D.
Troupe, R. L. Stone, Roscoe Kim
ball, W. C. and E. E. Crenshaw, H.
‘H. James, Walter Robitszch and oth
ers.
County Agent C. T. Owens report
ed that about 150 gallons daily milk
production was represented by the
dairymen present. An effort will be
made to secure finances to purchase
milk cows for such farmers as will
contract to deliver milk daily here.
