SMOKE INSPECTOR
viii Not Be Named Until Engineers
Accept Place on Smoke Board

City Commissioner Lane, in whose
hands has been to a large extent the
appointment of a smoke inspector,
stated yesterday that such an official
would not be appointed until word had
been received from the three men ap-
pointed upon the smoke board of con-
sulting engineers as to their acceptance.
Then a conference will be held between
this board and the city commissioners
and the smoke inspector elected.
Mr. Weatherly has been authorized TO
communicate their appointment to the
members of the consulting board of en-
gineers, who were formally elected at
the meeting Friday. 1t is probable
that within the next week or 10 days
the smoke inspector himself will be
named.

bage, tomatoes and Irish po-
tatoes, mature for the first
markets in Brandywine; full,
early growth of the finest
quality being especially
noticeable in those truck
gardens already under cult
walton.
Many similar crops will
do the same thing, assuring
the top market prices for all
early grown products.
Birmingham, just a few
miles from Brandywine, by
road or railway, affords a
ready market for every
thing, while its railroad fa-
cilities give access to any
market in the United States.
Write us for the letter
from the trucker who makes
$4,000 net annually from 10
acres adjoining Brandywine.
Brandywine itself is even
better, for climate, soil,
drainage and location is SUI
perior, if anything.
And you can do the same,
if YOU half try.
Ten acres properly cult
waited, will give you financial
freedom.
Plant them in grapes, ap-
Piles, peaches, pecans, straw
berries or truck, and 10
acres in Brandywine will
give you health, happiness
and freedom. What more
can you ask for?
500 in 10 equal monthly
payments is all an invest
ment in Brandywine will
cost you. You will never ne
gret it. Act at once.
