FARM MACHINERY
IN GREAT DEMAND
JoE LYONS EXPLAINS WHY THE
NAME o FTHE SOUTHWEST
ERN SUPPLY COMPANY
WAS CHANGED.

The Southwestern Supply Company
112. ia, 116, 118, 120 North Louisiana

from $4,000 to 100000, of which
s125,000 is paid up, and also has
changed the corporate name to the
Joe Lyons Machinery Company.
Joe Lyons, president of the com
many, explains the change of name by
the fact that various companies deal
ing in farm machinery and other lines
use the word Southwestern" and the
result is confusion in the mails. And
as Mr.. Lyons is SO widely and favor
ably known throughout the State, hay-
inc been in business for over 80 years,
he decided to use his own name. The
company only began business in the
farm machinery line three years ago,
in August, 1915, but by advertising and
soliciting, by travelling statesmen, a
corps of Is being maintained through
out Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee
and northern Louisiana, its business
has SO increased that, according to Mr.
Lyons, the indications for the first
seven months this year indicate that
the million dollar mark will be well
passed by the end of 1918
The company is recognized by lead
ing farming machinery, truck and
tractor manufacturers as the leading
jobbing house in this section and its
trade has grown until it is not only
statewide, but extends into the neigh
boring States of Tennessee, Louisiana
and Oklahoma, and even to Kentucky
The company is State agent for the
distribution of Rumeley tractors and
separators. Armleder trucks, Fuller &

BAN TAKEN OFF
HOLIDAY GIVING
YET BUYING MUST BE EARLY
MODERATE, AND ALONG COM
MON SENSE LINES, AVOID
ING USELESS GIFTS.

The State Council of Defense has
been advised that the ban upon Christ
mas giving has been partially modified
by the National Council of Defense.
after a conference with the retail mer-
camille interests. The limited author
ization now extended is conditioned
upon both the retailers and the public
will cooperate for early, moderate
and common-sense purchasing.
The National Council has author
lied the following statement of its
policy through the medium of the State
Council:
The Council of National Defense has
heretofore emphasized the necessity of
restricting Christmas buying during
the coming fall for certain specific
reasons which it has stated These
reasons are, in brief. the necessity for
saving labor and material in the man
ufacture and sale of Christmas gifts
and Of saving the transportation and
delivery facilities necessarily involved
in the large volume of Christmas pur-
chases.
After conference with representa-
tives of leading industries and retail
interests concerned, it is found THAI
the manufacture of goods for the COM
ing holiday season has been substan-
TALLY completed, that the transporta-
ton of the goods to the point of sale
is largely done, and that much of the
material used for Christmas pur-
chases, especially in the manufacture
of toys, is the waste material derived
from prior processes of manufacture.
The retail interests represented at
the conference have agreed not to in
crease their working force by reason
of the holiday business over the aver
age force employed by them through
out the year and not to increase the
normal working hours of their force
during the Christmas season. They
have also agreed to use their utmost
efforts to confine Christmas giving,
except for young children, to useful
articles and to spread the period for
holiday purchases over the month of
October, November and December. In
order to relieve the transportation IA
.cilities from congestion the latter
half of December, which would be so
hurtful to the interests of the nation
that it can not be permitted, the retail
interests represented have agreed to
cooperate further in the campaign of
the War Industries Board to restrict
deliveries and to induce customers to
carry their own packages wherever
possible. They have agreed to make
announcements of these conditions in
the advertisements beginning in Sep
TENDER. These suggestions, if faith
fully and loyalty put into effect
throughout the country will make pos
sible continuance of the holiday Gus
tom without endangering the national
interests thereby.
The Council of Defense looks to the
organized business bodies OF every
nature throughout the country TO join
actively in the movement as providing
means whereby that cooperation be-
tween the government and the people
can be had which alone will permit
the continuance of holiday business III
such form andby such methods as are
consistent with the national welfare.
This modification is definitely con-
ditioned upon loyal and thorough
cooperation in spirit and in letter on
the part of buyers and sellers.
