IN OUR
VALLEY

HE writer attended meeting Of
u the Retail Merchants Association
a, the Board OF City Development
Tuesday night.
Ii was his first attendance.
He went there with headache: in
other words. he wasn't feeling 50 well.
As matter OF fact. he considered the
Grgings Of a friend for more than ten
minutes before conscnting to go.
He had been there but five minutes.
he recalled afterward. when the head
ache disappeared. 1t was completely
gone and forgotten.
That is TO say, il was a very inter
esting meeting.
And the writer wondered, after il
was over why more merchants do not
attend their association meetings There
were not more than eight or ten.
Here are some Of the things discuss
.ded and each has direct bearing on
the business of every Brownsville mer-
chant:
Retail ere edits the subject including
individual experiences and the value OF
using the credit department Of the as
sociation.
The proposed road from Brownsville
through the Dana tract and on 70 an
opening into the Los Frasnos section.
The importance Of q paved road up
the river from Olmito. ~ give the folks
in that district an all-time route to
Brownsville.
The Importance Of establishing clos
er relations with the farm rs Of the
immediate Brownsville section. and eX-
tending these relations into more dis
tant territory.
The value. in this connection. Of urg-
ine farmers and their wives 70 bring
their chickens. eggs and butter into
Brownsville.
Holiday closing plans.
A grocer. discussing this chickens.
eggs and butter question, brought out
several interesting bits Of information.
and urged the Importance Of q cream

etc, Of the local farming community.
He said that his store alone brought
in. every month. from outside the VAL
lev about five hundred pounds Of but
ter and from 1900 to 2000 dozens of
eggs.
The experience Of that one grocer
would indicate that farmers Of the
Brownsville community are passing up
a good bet We don't holieve We are
cver-estimating when we say that
Brownsville will consume 10000 dozens
~ more eggs a month-and Brownsville a
farmer can supply them if they will.
Chickens, too.
Frank Caffarelli Of Caffarelli Bros.
wholesale grocers. started the discus
sion of chickens and eggs. He told ~
His retail exp rience al Bolton, Tex.
during 20 years before going into the
wholesale business AZ San Antonio. He
said his firm encouraged the farmers
70 bring in their chickens, eggs ana
butter.
"In tn cases Of many farm custom
crs. we never saw the color of their
money" said Mr. Caffareli. That IL
10 say. the value II ;he products they
brought uS balanced their purchases.
and very often We found ours Ives

He pointed out that this exchange

which the groccrs and other may cs-

DEMONSTRATION OF POSTAL SALARIES

President Coolidge vetoed the bill "reclassifying salaries of post
and employees of the postal service" because the bill wouId have

president stated: The money must come from the pockets of the Tar
aye Before C obligations are created, it should be conclusiyely
shown that they are essential to the best interests If the nation.
Government extravaganza must stop! The people of the nation
ar paying all that is possible or them to pay!"
These are strong and explicit words, proving how earnest the prs
1dent is on the matter of federal economy.
sine 1918 the salaries of postal employees have been adjusted tbra
times resulting in increases of about $3.50 900 900 in salaries from 1915
to 1923.
AT present tn average salaries are: Postofice clerks, 81 ISL; post
office carriers, $1,752S3; railway postal clerks, $21O7; railway clerks
travel allowances. $2.292; rural carriers, $1,s4s52.
