PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, OA., THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1925 No. 10 MACON SPEAKERS ADDRESS PERRY CIVITANS n Local Consumers Can Make Market For Local Farm Products, Says W. T. Anderson. W, T. AndersoA, president and editor of the Macon Telegraph, ad dressed the Civitans Club of Per ry Thursday night on the necessity for keeping Georgia money i n Georgia. P. T. Anderson, president of the Aluoou Chamber of Com merce; Angus E. Bird, cashier of the Citizens & Southern Fank. and Malcom L>. Ainsworth, recently elected manager of the Macon Con vention Bureau, also made short talks. In bis address the Macon editor gave several instances of expendi tures that are being made out of the state for products of an in ferior quality to those raised with in Georgia's borders. He urged the establishment of Markets for Ceoryia products. That the farmer will eagerly grow the product for which there is a ready market there is no question, the local consumer can "start a market with a nickel," he said. Milk for instance, a product contaiuiug the largest number of elements necessary to life and good health should be consumed in the place of harmful or practical ly usless drinks. By spending a nickel at the soda fount or else where you may start the healthful milk drinking habit, a demand for more and tnore milk, thus building a profitable market for local farm and dairies. Green vegetables grown by local farmers are most healthful foods should be demanded by the con sumer. The vegetables will be pro duced in sufficient quantity when local consumers demand them instead of products from other states. The prosperity of Georgia de pends quite as much on the buyer and consumer as upon the farmer, an4 when the two co-operate in the fullest extent prosperity in town and country in Georgia will come such as never been dreamed.
