Trade at Home Week

This week is 'Trade at Home Week.. So is next
week The week after that will be dedicated the ama
purpose and altogether fifytwo weeks will be set aside
during the coming year in which the practice of trading
at hone' should be carefully carried out.
The hundred and reasons why we should trade
at home are too well known TO require explanation. We
all know for instance, that every dollar spent in Salt
Lake City goes to build up that city at expense locally
There is a certain fascination in buying in the bio
city stores perhaps there is advantage too, in coos
ing from bigger stocks and give you the expensive
service that entices you for the price paid. There is
a tendency among us human beings to believe that if
large magnificent store charges a high price for
clothing other similar goods that better value being
received, but such is not always the The same
money would buy the value, with perhaps Just
little more in your home town. If home town mer
chants could be assured of your patronage they could
afford larger stocks and expensive goods
but until such condition does exist it would be CONNER
cal suicide for them to attempt to please you in the wav
you demand
Of this fact you may be That year i'm and wear
out dollar for dollar, local dealers will always compete
with outside merchants, giving service that cannot be
obtained elsewhere and usually matching value for value
Whenever you spend dollar out of town. you take that
much out of local circulation rob the city of that
much money with which to build ITSELF and this in turn
works to your disadvantage.
The ideal condition would exist when every citizen
bought all of their requirements from local merchants
should this happen it would be found possible for
local dealers to carry heavy stocks and give you the same
expensive service that entices you away While this con-
dition will probably never exist it can be brought good
deal closer if every citizen will think twice before pur
chasing elsewhere weighing the matter in the balance
and deciding whether not it might be more lust and
profitable to remain at home

WASTING GOOD Money

It's pretty hard to convince mer-
cheut that he had better drop his mo-
uoy down in the well than pass II ov-
or TO a f7y-by night advertising soil
citor. the smooth guy who drops In
with publicity scheme that isn't
worth minute of time or a cent Oh
money. 1t takes some people a good
while to learn that the same money
spent in a newspaper would bring
infinitely better returns.
This country is filled to the brim
with smooth your IN VINO 40
nothing but think urclicity sche-
mes. Once they b aed cat
chy one they beat ~ 20 the smaller
towns to unload" on the merchant
who believes that any kind Of adver-
Using Is good advertising. and VINO
thinks that novelties and time cards.
and stock booklets with his name up
on them are actually business getters.
These young men don't ply their
trade so much In the large cities, be-
cause there is usually commercial
club or a board Of trade ruling again
st just the sort Of thing they seek to
dispose Of But In towns where
every merchant has To think out his
own plan Of advertising and where
he hasn't tried to understand the in
side workings of these fly-by- night
schemes, the waste of good money
goes right on. And the funniest part
OF It IL that the merchant who bites
actually pays cash In advance and
takes the smooth young strangers
, word for II that he is going to get
more than his moneys worth.
We are strong for every kind OF
advertising that will pay the man
who advertises, but we detest fakes.
That Is why we spend a good deal
Of time regretting that some merch-
ant cant see that which successful
merchants long ago learned-that Of
all forms Of advertising known to man
nothing has yet been found as good
as space in the home paper-The
Minden (Neb.) Courier.

STATE TAXATION

The people of Utah are
learning that they should pro
coed slowly in enacting pro
posed new legislation affect
ing taxation, as the net result
is usually new hoist in the
tax rates, and once up they
are slow to come down.
For instance, a constitution
al amendment was adopted by
the voters at the general Gle
ction Of 1920. The effect o.
this was to remove the consti-
tutional limit on state levy for
district school purposes, and
see what followed.
Prior to that time the state
levy for all purposes could not
exceed five mills. This amend
ment which was made oper-
alive through an act of the
1921 legislature authorized a
state levy equal to $25 for each
person of school age.
The effect of this was to in
crease enormously the state
tax levy, which jumped to six
and nine-tenths in 1921, and
to seven and one-tenth mills
in 1922, an increase of almost
fifty per cent in the short
period of two years.
The people were promised
that with the adoption of this
amendment and a law enacted
to limit school levies for dis.
trict purposes, the effect
would be a redistribution OF
the tax burdens, but under nc
circumstances an increase.
This promise was not KEEP,
and there is no limit on tht
local levy for district purp
loses, and the consequences il
taxes are mounting higher
and higher. The promise
of redistribution of taxation
is again made by advocates O
state income taxation.
The increased school reve
nues are going into elaborate
and palatial school building
more than into teachers sal
! aries ,r to furnish better in
! struuction for the children o
the state.

floors of the growers association
throughout South Carolina. With
the precision Of clock-work. the ma
chinery of the big cooperative as
sociation moved into action without
hitch, and orderly marketing was
attained at the first days trial.
In contrast to tn shouts of buy
ers, the trampling of tobacco, the
shifting Of piles and the hurried
inspection Of the growers product,
a golden stream moved continuously
today fro mwagons to graders, from
graders to weighers and on to the
ever-accumulating piles of the weed
in the storage rooms of the asso-
citation.
Posted conspicuously in every
warehouse were the advance cash
payments to be made for each grade,
and as the tobacco passed by the
wcigher's windows it paid tribute
TO the growers in the form of checks
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-08-09

and participation receipts, which
were made out according to the
weight and grade of his tobacco for
each grower member.
The careful and thorough grad
ing of each piece as it passed
through the hands of experienced
graders on every market was the
feature that especially enthused the
growers, and the uniformity of
grades and prices on various mar
kctS was notable.
Richard r. Patterson, general
manager of the leaf department; r.
G. Watkins, manager of warehouses
for the association; A. R. Breedlove
and c. B. Cheatham, of the leaf de-
partmcnt, and other officials of the
Tobacco Growers Cooperative Asso-
clation visited the cooperative
warehouses at axe City, Timmons-
vile, Kingstree, Darlington and
Olanta, personally assisting the
graders in their work.
Complete satisfaction was ex-
pressed by the great majority of
growers, who were greatly i'm
pressed by the orderly system of
marketing and the first cash adj
vances paid today. The first adj
vances on all grades were well
come surprise to most of the grow
ers, and ranged from $15.75 to s1.20.
Many growers stated that they
mad received more on their first ad
vance from the cooperative than
last years average for their entire
crop.

TINS new system and are trying it out
today They are receiving approxi-
mately one-third the market value as
the first payment or the cash advance.
me remainder will be paid out as
the different grades of tobacco are
sold. In the meantime each member
receives participating certificate
1of the tobacco delivered. 1t is hard
TO tell how this new system is 90
ing to suit the farmers as it seems
that many of them were under the
impression that the tobacco would
DO sold the day it was delivered to
the warehouse. However the next
faw days will see some Of the rough
edges knocked off and it is thought
that after the farmers get more
familiar with the system that thew
will like it better.
