/. Where is the man who owns small
tracts of land in and around Stafford,
that can be bought or rented for rea-
sonable amount of money. There is at
the present time "a letters on file at the
Stafford Chamber of Commerce from
people all over the West, who are very
much interested in five, ten, fifteen and
twenty acres of land with some improve
ments on it. Why not get in touch with
the secretary, Joe Sullivan, tell him what
you have for sale and try to sell or rent
some of this land that at the present
time is idle. Everyone should take an
interest in this land proposition, as it will
mean dollars to US all. SO hike right
in and tell Joe your troubles. Get in
touch with him and keep in touch with
the man who is trying to help you in
every way he can.
If there is something you have for
sale, or something you want to buy; if
there is any public improvement near
YOUR place of business the Stafford
Chamber of Commerce, which is COM
posed of the real live business men in
Stafford, are paying Joe Sullivan salary
to look out for the welfare of you and
YOUR neighbor in a business way. Ut
might not be out of the way to state
here that this Office has barred family
troubles.)
Send in description of your ranch
or land you wish to sell and give full
particulars about everything You may
know all about it, but the idea is to tell
the stranger who has never seen your
land. State price per acre, cost of irri-
eating, improvements, distance from
town, state of cultivation and every
thing that would be information to the
man in Oregon or some Eastern State,
who will want to know before he will
spend the money TO come out here.
Tell your neighbor about this article
and send him in to see Joe Sullivan the
next time he is in town.
Every member of the Stafford Cham
ber of Commerce should make it his
business to take his wife or sweetheart
to the Fire Department dance, which
will be held on April I'd in Brier's Hall.
Many of our citizens don't appreciate
our gallant firemen until their house or
store is on fire, and it is not to their
credit to pass the boys by when they
are trying to raise funds for new equip
ment that will some day save money
for US all. This dance should should go
down in history with the Klondyke trip,
and it is up to us all to be on deck at
Brier's Hall, April I'd, and have the
dance of our life.
There has been ten replies to our
little note last week in this column re-
questing rancher' who had baby chicks
or hives of bees for sale to call and get
in touch with parties in Globe, who had
written Stafford Chamber of Commerce,
stating they would buy unlimited amount
and would keep US posted in the future
if there was anything that they were
in the market for. 1t is great salts
faction to the Secretary to note that
the people in every part of the Gila
valley are close readers of THE GUAR
DIAN and that at any time there is an
inquiry for eggs, hay, horses, corn,
bees, ETC., from out of town, that this
column will reach large number Of
people in the quickest possible time.
To be member of the Stafford Cham
ber of Commerce the application must
be in writing and at the first regular
meeting of the board of directors it
will be acted on. Many people think
that anyone who has the necessary
amount of money required to pay the
membership dues can become men,
Der Of the Stafford Chamber of Com
merce. This is not so. 1t is quite an
honor to any man in Stafford to be cleo
ted member of the Stafford Chamber
of Commerce, as only the most desir-
nhln pIfI1nnc ronTnhprC onH tho
lines will be drawn much closer in the
future as the organization becomes
stronger. Suppose one of our leading
citizens was on business visit to
Phoenix, and while at some banquet
was introduced as a member of the
Stafford Chamber of Commerce, it would
give him prestige that he would not
have otherwise.
lhe Stafford Chamber of Commerce
will cooperate with BY Smith in having
one of the best exhibits that has ever
been shown from the Gila valley at the
State Fair, which will be held in Phoe-
nix sometime next fall. AS BY is the
fair commissioner from Graham county
and one of our most progressive farm
ers, ne is in position to furnish seeds
to anyone who will agree to select the
best specimens for the State exhibit,
and has instructed Secretary Joe Sulli-
van that he will furnish the Stafford
Chamber of Commerce with all the
seeds they need in distributing them
amongst our gardeners. This offer is
too important for our ranchers to pass
up, and everyone should take an inter-
est in having the finest kind of an ex-
hibit at our State Fair. Please call at
Chamber of Commerce Office and secure
your allotment of seeds at once, as the
time is at hand to start planting.
