ABILENE wHOIEsALE HOUSE
LEADS IN BUYING COFFEE

The Watson. Durand-Kasper Gro
Gerry Co., OF Abilene and salina, arr
a part OF ths-Durand q Kasper com
pany Of Chicago. According TO gov
eminent statistics. Durand & Kas'
per company, during 1912 import,
ed more coffee than any wholesale
grocery In the United States. they
only lacked about 1900 bags of Inn
porting as much as All the other
Chicago Wholesale groceey houses
put together. The United States
government report shows that they
imported more coffee during 1919
than all the wholesale grocery
houses in Kansas City. Missouri. and
the whole state OF Kansas combined.
The Abilene and salina houses
own their coffee on the same basis
as Chicago and naturally are In a
position to furnish goods OF a more
uniform quality; giving better value
for the money than any house not
receiving the benefit Of direct buy
ing from first hands in large quanti-
ties.
A coffee buyer, who receives a
salary of $4,000 year, spent sew
en- years in Brazil buying coffee for
one of the leading coffee importers
In United States, and has an extern
siye personal acquaintance with the
largest coffe growers, and is prob
ably better posted on conditions in
the coffee growing country than any
man in United States.
If you are not getting suitable
grade of coffee-by intimating
what you want, it can be furnished
by all grocers.
This is only one of the lines in
which this firm excels and its bust
ness is increasing by leaps and
bounds.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
~-.-- (
BY Secretary H. A. Poe.
ee4eAAAeeAAeeAa

j What the Abilene Commercial
club has done: The securing OF tn,
public library, commission form o
government, Central Kansas bust
ness college. paving the streets, the
farmers elevator. the gas plant
which will be in operation by early
fall, the new street lights that will
be in use in week or two, the large
electric sign now being erected, and
a great number of other good things
for Abilene.
Commercial club work is not a
matter of sentiment. 1t is really
the largest business that business
or a professional man can engage
ip. 1t pays more in dividends for
the money and time invested.
1t is not for the lack of some
thing to do that the Commercial
club does not do more. 1t is for
Lack of the necessary moral and
financial support from enough OF the
citizens.
If every business and professional
man in Abilene believed in himself
and in Abilene and belonged to the
Commercial .club-belonged to 1t
with his whole heart and not in a
perfunctory, criticising way-can
you imagine anything undertaken
for this town that would not go
through?
The Commercial club must have
the support and active personal CO.
operation of the membership and
the membership must include the
men in Abilene whose interests are
bound up in Abilene and who have
influence among their fellow men.
The trouble with good many
business men and professional men
is that they look upon the CONNER
cial club as one of the institutions
Of their town-a sort of necessary
evil. Once a year or once a month
rather they dig up their fifty cent
dues, charge the amount to charity
and then sit down to watch with a
critical eye to "see what those fell
ows do with all the money they
AXE in"
Or else they announce with much
yusto that they are not going to join
he Commercial club till they see
What it does.
That spirit never got town any, ]
where.
Now this town is going to grow
md prosper and become bigger and
letter in every way. You can help {
long If you will and in no better 4
way than joining the Commercial {
lub asd help BOOST. {
