INVESTIGATING HOME
MARKETS
There are many people who be-
Jieve theroetically in supporting the
institutions and enterprises of their
lome towns, yet who in practice
buy a good deal of their home and
personal supplies of merchants in
other and distant cities. They are
often ied to act on impulse by the
enterprising advertising of mail
order houses or big city department
stores.
It would geem as if a person who
wanted his home town to grow,
ought not distribute his purchases
m this way without more thought
ful congideration. Anyone ought
to realize that if the people of
Leesburg and near by cominunities
would only make it their policy to
gpend their money at home as far
a¢ possible, much more business
could be done here and this com
munity would grow in prosperity.,
The loyal and congistent thing to
do, when one wantsa certain article,
is to visit a few of the home stores
and see what they have in that line.
If you o no find what you want,
just say so fraukly, and then you
have a good excuse for going else
where. But in 99 times out of 100
you will find what you want at,
hon.e. You will fare better because
you will get closer personal atten
tion in a home store than you can
get from etrangers.
It does seem a foolish and de
structive policy, when people will
pass by their own stores, the suc
cess of which is necessary to the
development and progress of the
community, and go or send {0 some
distant place and buy just the same
thing and often pay more money
for it. Look the stocks of your
home merchant over before buying.
If you do not want to buy, you will
receive respectful treatment, and be
invited to comeagain, and see what
they haye, whether you intend to
buy or not.
1f all of our home stores would
show enterprise and enthusiasm in
pushing their goods by advertising
much of this trade now lost would
remain at home,

THE STATE PORT A FARMERSi
INSTITUTION |
Those who have given the closest
study to the proposed State Port and
Terminals realize the most keenly
that reduced to its last analysis it is
a farmers’ project, an institution in
tended to promote the farmers’ in
terest. Wi ’!“&ih
True, other classes of Georgians
will be greatly benefittedq by the
consummation of the plans that have
been so carefully laid. The manu
facturer, the miner, the workingman
——each and every one is interested
in the State Port and Terminals from
a sense of the direct personal bear
ing it will have on his own fortunes.
But it is the farmer primarily who
will reap the most immediate and
most lasting benefits.
@ It isa mystery to us how any
farmer can fail to see that his vital
interest are involved in the pro
ject. Here are great terminal fa
cilities to be provided for his use, for
the econemical handling of his pro-.
ducts without a cent of cost to him ‘
in the beginning or at any other time
so far as the construction of the ter-‘
minals is concerned. Elsewhere such |
facilitics have proved self mstalnlngl
and with earning power sufficieny to
pay the bonds, There is no reason to
believe it will different with Georgia,
one of the greatest agricultural
sections in the country.
Take our own Liberty county for
instance, “and see what it would
mean to our farmers. This is great
soil for sweet potatoes. We all ap
preciate that. Given a dehydrating,
or scientific drying plant at a State
Port owned and managed by the'
people, and the growers of sweet
potatoes would be put in the most
advantageous position possible to
handle their output. ’
So it would be as regards hogs and
cattle and poultry. A feature of the
‘Stntc Port and Terminals would be
the cold-storege facilities designated
and operated for the benefit of
Georgia farmers The smallest pro
ducer of poultry or stork would en
joy exactly the same advantages as
the largest producer. The rich man
and the poor man pay the same for
their postage stamps, so it would l)el
ns regards the use of the facilities
of the State Port and Terminals, be-{
cavee, like the postoffice they would
Lo owned and run by the people. l
It is up to our farmers to be g:etting‘l
busy and assert themselves as re
gards this State Port and Torminall
proposition. The politicians of the
State are looking to the farmers to
tell them what they want done. The !
farmers should speak in unmistakable
tanes as to their desire and intention
to have every possible facility pro-?
vided them for the advantageous
warchousing and marketing of their |
products in a plant put up by the
State and operated with one purpose
in view, that of serving the people of
Georgia.—Liberty County Herald. .i
