How A "Sucker"
Was Saved.

A city man got a very glowing cir
cular from Chicago development
company" offering him 10 acres of
land in Florida for the surprisingly
small sum of $500 peanut unit"
the circular called it. He could
grow, the circular said, thousand
bushels of peanuts on his 10 acres
and could sell the peanuts-allowing
for low prices-at 50 bushel. The
city man was impressed: but he sent
the circular TO the United States De-
partment of Agriculture with a query
as to whether or not the investment
was a good one. Following are some
sentences from the letter he got in
reply; 1.-The literature is of the kind
designed to deceive city people in the
North and West who do not know
anything about farming" "The aver
age return from 10 acres of peanuts
would not exceed $500 to $780,"
"You could buy 100 acre farm in al
most any of the counties of western
Florida. including the one mentioned
in the circular, for the price these
people ask for 10 acres"
1.-THE whole unit system, whether
it is pecans, peaches, figs, cane, pea
nuts, hogs or what not, is simply q
means of selling land at three to five
times what 1t is worth to ignorant OIL
unwary !, small investors. ITO Pc,
S2.5O0 for this 10 acres Of land woulc
stamp you AS q sucker Of the rank
est class" IAN this is without re
fiecting in any way on Florida, for i
is good State aud lands are compar
atAely cheap th,r.."

ELIMINATE
Long Wait for Trains.
Light Business Car Now Enables
Them to Make Quick Trips from
City to City at Reduced Cost.

10 eliminate expensive selling
methods, many wholesale houses have
equipped their sales forces with light
delivery cars, with the result that
their representatives have been able
to triple the number of towns visited,
carrying their samples with them.
This growing practice bids fair 20
alleviate to great extent che trou-
bles of the travelling salesman. Iso-
lated towns and once-a-day railway
trains have made many salesman
throw up his hands in disgust AMI
desert his profession for fields les
wearisome and nerve wrecking. Not
only did such railway facilities tend
to reduce the ranks of the travelling
statesmen, but they were responsible
for an increased selling cost of dry
goods, shoes, groceries, hardware,
hats and similar staples. Using the
railroads the salesman was able to
make but one town day, where sew
eral hours were sufficient to call on
the trade. The remaining hours were
spent in enforced idleness, with the
result that weekly hotel bills and ex-
pense accounts scared.
But the development of the motor
car, and particularly the light CON-
mercial car. is rapidly doing away
with these old-fashioned methods of
wholesale selling. An interesting
sample Of the successful use of sucn
a car is that of B. A. Rives, a shoe
salesman in southern Alabama.
In August, 1918, Mr.. Rives bought
Dodge Brothers business car and
abandoned the southern railroads as
a means of covering his territory.
Since that day the car has been in
continual use, carrying the salesman,
driver and bulky 700 lbs of sam
Piles. To the Dodge Brothers dealer
from whom the car was purchased.
MIR. Rives wrote: 81 find that can
make nearly three times as many
towns in week as ! formerly could
by railroad and the weekly expense is
no greater. The pulling qualities of
your business car cannot be excelled,
and the upkeep for the time that l
have had it has been too little to
count. The pleasure of not having
to wait for trains would overbalance
the entire expense of the car Refer
any Of the boys on the road to me if
they have heavy load and want to
go along without any trouble"
