FARM AGENCY BRANCH HERE
Mr.. w. o. Davis Will Have Charge of
Affairs of Nationally Known Concern

Affairs of Nationally Known Concern
The increasing Importance of Oak
land and its surrounding country,
from an agricultural standpoint, has
just been recognized by the establish
ment here of selling office of the E.
A. Strout Farm Agency, Inc, and the
appointment of Mr.. w. o. Davis as
its local manager.
The effect of this step will be to
give Oakland and Garrett county rep
resentation in the largest farm sell
ing organization in the world, having
more than $40 agents scattered all
over the United States, in Canada
and Great Britain and divisional Of
fees in many of the large cities of
this country.
The move is an incident in a ST.
100000 sales promotion campaign
which the Strout Agency has I'M
dertaken to put over in 1922. 1t
means that Oakland and Garrett
county is in for a big boost for it will
share in the benefits of that cam
paign.
Many thousands of dollars are ex-
pended annually by the Strout Agen-
cy annually in advertis ng farms for
sale and this year the expenditure
will be increased. Farm seekers all
over America and abroad will be told
through this advertising campaign of
the opportunities for buying farm
property advantageously in this sec
ton.
In addition, very attractive little
booklet describing the attractiveness
of farming property here will be is
sued especially for Mr.. Davis by the
Strout Agency, and distributed by
him to thousands of farm seekers and
| home seekers. 1t will tell these
prospective farm buyers what crops
are best adapted to our soils and most
profitable in our markets, and will
show what some of our successful
farmers have accomplished.
The Strout Agency has on its lists
the names of many thousands of per.
sons who are seeking farm homes,
many of whom may desire to locate
in this State or vicinity. The little
booster for Oakland and the coun-
ty will be placed before them. 1t
should help to place the county more
prominently on the worlds map.
What this means to a community
may readily be imagined In some
cases Representatives of the Strout
Agency say this plan has brought
as many as TIA new families into a
single section thus advertised in one
! year.
The Strout Agency is convinced
that the American farmer now has
turned the corner and is again on the
road to prosperity. This is shown
! by reports of their own agents as
well as from disinterested observers
in the great agricultural districts
who have noted marked improve
ment in farming conditions that ex-
tends from Maine to the great plains
states of the Middle West and from
the Great Lakes to Florida.
"The value of farm products is ad-
vancing while the cost of the things
he has to buy is declining" said a
representative of the agency. "This
means that confidence is being re-
stored and confidence in the great
basic industry of farming means bet
ter business sooner or later, not only
for the farmer but for everybody"
The connection of Mr.. Davis with
the Strout Agency will not interfere
with his other business connections.

driving through the woods.
After they had chugged along for
a mile or 50, the storekeepeT leaned
over to the little old lady and said,
do not say anything to Raggedy
Andy, but this part Of the woods we
are coming to is where the Wrinkle
nose sisters live. And if they see or
hear us, they will probably run out
and take everything we have on my
little carr
"Oh dear!'' the nice little lady said,
''I have heard of the Wrinklenose
sisters, but never knew where they
livedr'
who are the Wrinklenose sisters?"
Raggedy Ann asked. Don't be
fr1ghtenedT' the Storekeeper replied,
II did not think you would hear me
speak Of them"
"I am not frightenedr' Raggedy
Ann laughingly replied, But I could
not help hearing you speak Of them
when I am sitting in between you
and the nice little old lady.

Raggedy Ann laughed, Maybe

others Witches when they really dc

my Goodnessr' the nice little old
lady said in a hushed voice, There
they are in the center OF the road

Sure enough! There standing in
the center of the road were the three
wrinklenose sisters and when che
little automobile drew to a stop be-
fore them, our friends could see why
they were called Wrinklenose.
Drive right in to the shed?' one
Of the Wrinklenoses said, "And then
all of you come right in to our houses
Don't try to run away any of you
for we have a magic web about you
and it will trip up your heels and
make you crack your noses upon the
hard ground
And, as there was nothing else 20
do, the Storekeeper and the others
climbed from the automobile and Sol'
