AUGUSTA’S NEEDS —NO. 3—MORE
MARKETING FACILITIES.
Augusta is the market place not only for the city of
Augusta and Richmond county but also for a dozen very
prosperous counties in South Carolina and some fifteen or
eighteen Georgia counties. It will pay us to visualize Au
gusta as the market place not for 75,000 people hut for
750.000 people.
Some of the progressive retail stores of Augusta are
already reaching out for the trade of these 760,000 people,
realizing that in the days of good roads and innumerable
autos, the circle of trade around Augusta is constantly wid
ening. and that once a month or once a week, more and
more people can he induced to trade in Augusta.
And what is true of retail trade is also true of whole
sale trade. Its volume is steadily growing and can be
doubled and trebled and quadrupled as the days go by.
On the other hand, it is equally true that for any city
to sell more to its trade territory, it must in turn buy more
from its trade territory. Augusta must offer a ready and
prompt market to buy and handle everything that our
trade territory offers if we are to establish the ideal trade
relations between the city and the surrounding trade terri
tory. Whatever the farmer raises in a radius of 150 miles
of Augusta ought to find a ready market either for sale, or
storage or handling in the various lines in Augusta.
Cotton, of course, is the biggest item. Augusta can
handle and ought to handle a million bales of cotton a year.
This cannot be done without adequate warehouse facilities.
The cotton storage capacity of Augusta ought to be double
what it is today. It is apparently insufficient to handle the
present volume of the cotton trade.
What is true of Augusta as a cotton market is also
true of Augusta as a live stock market. Every pig and
calf, beef steer raised in Augusta territory should find a
wider market here than the temporary needs of local butch
ers. The ideal method of handling such shipments would
be thru a local packing plant or at least these car load ship
ments could be handled, sorted, and reshipped thru Au
gusta.
Grain elevators and warehouses in Augusta also should
be available to render similar sendee in marketing for all
the corn and wheat and oafs and hays raised in Augusta
territory. Improve and develope the marketing facilities of
Augusta and Augusta will in turn more than double its
trade with the 750,000 people who will use more and more
Augusta aa their market place, both to buy and to sell.
TEETH.
An animal with 2500 teeth—the duck-billed dinosaur.
He lived in Wyoming eight million years ago, stood 45 feet
high and looked like a kangaroo. See his petrified skeleton
in the American Museum of Natural History next time you
visit New York. He will have more visitors—after Broad
way is dry.
A scientist, addressing an assemblage of long-haired men
and short-haired women selects the duck-billed dinosaur as
his text. He points out that as man becomes more civilized,
he has fewer teeth. Eventually he will lose them all. This
generation finds ita jaws too short—not enough room for the
wisdom teeth. Remember when you cut yours?
Cracker-barrel philosophers of small towns used to talk
about digging our graves with our teeth. Either by eating too
much or neglecting the masticators. Rheumatism, tubercu
losis, bad blood, stomach disorders, even insanity—frequent
ly caused by unclean teeth.
English marveled at our doughboy’s shining ivories.
Toothbrushes are responsible for that—have much to do with
the difference between ruddy-cheeked Yanks and sickly cock
neys of the London slums. "Born within the Chimes”—and
without prophylaxis.
Teach your children to keep their teeth clean. Tell them
it will mean iess castor oil, more happy play, fewer visits of
doctors with bitter medicine. Dental experts examining
school children say 59 per cent of them have diseased teeth
and gums, the common cause of “growing pains.” Small
wonder the bright lad is the exception.
The toothbrush habit is recent. Even as late as 1754
the polished Lord Chesterfield had never heard of one. The
fine gentlemen of those days wore wigs and oiled their hair,
but had to fumigate their mouths with arquebusade water.
Like the period before bath tubs and running water, when
the French perfected perfumes. They had to—to get near
each other.
Why do Americans have the best teeth in the world?
Why did the dandified kaiser insist on an American dentist?
The Indians taught us.
Dr. Marshall 11. Saville of Columbia University digs into
ruins, discovers: Long before Columbus was born, even 1500
years ago, the Aztecs had perfected dentistry to an art. They
filled cavities, made crowns and bridge-work. Aztec dudes
had consqicuoun holes in their teeth filled with inlavs of gold
our turuouises —as perfect-fitting a job as you could get to
day. Thev left records showing that they even used coca,
from which cocaine is extracted, as local anaesthetic.
Many centuries later, in 1796, it was an event of much
comment when Josiah Flagg, one of the first American den
tists. advertised: "Transplants both live and dead Teeth,
sews up Hare Lips. Extracts Stumps. Lines and plumbs Teeth
with virgin gold. Foil or Lend. Fixes gold roofs and Palntes
and artificial Teeth, greatly assisting the pronunciation and
the swallow. Also Chew-sticks, which are to be sold both
wholesale and retail, that they may be more extensively use
ful. Dr. Flag has a method to furnish those Ladies and
Gentlemen or Children with artificial Teeth. Gold Gums,
Roofs or Palates, that are at a distance and cannot attend
personally.”

“Ordination day.” says a student of
the old Puritan times. “was the most
profitable one of the whole year to the
tavern keeper; a special brew, known as
‘ordination beer,” was served to the vis
iting ministers, which made the inn fully
as popular as the meeting house.” But
that was In 1785.
New England colonists began collecting
revenue on liquor sales in 1636 The
license fee was one-sixth of all “strong
water” sold. Collectors often had more
of the "strong water” Inside them than
out when they returned from a day’s col
lection tour
The first prohibition law In this coun
try was enacted In 1633 when whites
were forbidden selling “strong water” to
the Indians
The next year the "personal liberty
Bruys came to the fore and the, general
court expressed Itself thuely:
‘ It Is no! fit to deprive ye Indians of
any lawful comfort, which God ailoweth
