Mr.. Joseph Newburger'S Comment

at should be the pride of every citizen of Memphis to see that we have a
large packing plant so that we car encourage our farmer friends to raise
stock. DWerIhcaion is the slogan of the hour, and this certainly is one
enterprise that Memphis needs and needs badly, so let's all put our shoulder
to the wheel and make the Memphis Packing Corporation a huge success
The board of directors have determined to go at this on a conservative basis
and every dollar invested will be devoted solely to making the enterprise a
success"-Joseph NcWburgcr, President Ntwburger Cotton Co.

Good roads have much to do with
the advancement of a people. without
them churches, schools and the inter-
