. - LIABILITIES lot marketing
ell farm products naturally adapted to
this soil:
J 1-Concerted action in production
and marketing.
2-An ample cold storage and pack
ing plant.
S-Ready, certain and profitable
markets.
4-Quick, effective and convenient
i system of transportation.
/ The present plans and suggestions
in the development of such a CONNER
cial system are as follows:
Ito construct and establish in Co
lumbia a modern, sanitary and efficient
cold storage and packing plant of suf-
flcient capacity to store and pack all
first class, high grade and extraordi-
narily marketable farm products of
Maury County-all fat hogs, heavy
weight corn-fed cattle, choice poultry,
fresh eggs, rich cream, choice fruits
and vegetables, etc.
2-To guarantee the annual produc-
ton of sufficient quantity and quail
ity OF all such farm products to justi-
fly such marketing system by pro-
viding skilled and practical men, who
shall thoroughly instruct and prac-
tically assist the farmers of the coun-
ty in the best, the most practical and
economical methods of securing the
most profitable results from our con-
certed efforts.
S-To create, establish and maintain
special and efficient Maury County
market places in Boston, New York
City, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis, Birm-
ingham, Atlanta, New Orleans and 9TH
er cities.
ITO establish, extend and main
tain perpetual trolley freight car and
transportation system, whose lines
shall radiate from Columbia over the
county along all the well established
public highways to receive twice day
the cream, eggs, poultry, fruits, veg
etables and all other marketable pro
ducts from each farm along the line;
assemble all such products at Colum-
bia; and transmit it by refrigerator
cars and fast express to its best mar
ket destination.
6-To establish perpetual facilities
for refrigerator car and fast express
service with the railroad systems OF
the entire county.
The following results will be speed
lily and perpetually guaranteed to the
people of Maury county:
Every farmer will be guaranteed
the highest possible market price for
all his farm products-giving ten
times the opportunity to increase his
annual income from his farm. In
stead of $500 to $50 per acre, he will
have from $40 to $500.
Our population will be doubled in
ten years.
3-City Real Estate will be treb-
bled.
farm lands will be doubled.
5-The people will be more intelli-
gent and enterprising.
HOW?
A reasonable cooperation and a
small sum of money thus invested
each year by each citizen in Maury
County for the next ten years will
give every farmer an opportunity to
market from one hundred to ten thous-
and dollars of farm products per year,
where he now has no facilities at all
for market.
The business men could well afford
to boost the Maury County Develop
ment Company. 1t would double, pre-
haps quadruple, their business.
All salaried and wage earning men
should boost it because it will double
their wages and give greater opportu-
mites for them to invest to the high
est possible advantage their savings.
Each citizen in Maury County is
hereby asked to cooperate with US
for the next ten years to bring the
above results to pass in a material and
practical way. With their hearty CO.
operation and immediate response to
Ill our plans and requests, we are in
position to guarantee the desired re-
suits.
It's now up to you. do 1T NOW"
S our motto.
To every man and woman, young or
I'D, in Maury County, who would have
uch developments, opportunities and
esults take place in ours-the fairest
'ounty in the State-we request you
his means YOU-to write us a little
like the following:

ty Development Company, Columbia,
