The Chain Stores

The retail business - bridge
between producer and consumer
in the marketing Of commodi-
ties and services-is steadily
amalgamating into gigantic
chains.
This movement of tendency is
strikingly similar to the indus
trial combinations among pro-
ducers that began TO get under
way about two decades ago. u.
S. Steel, formed in 1902, was
the big leader. Now the same
thing is taking place in retailing
The Great Atlantic & Pacific
Tea Co. now has 10000 stores
scattered over the country. That
is worth reading twice.
Several times, in fact 1t is a
weathervane of the way the
trade winds" are blowing.
Ten thousand stores owned
by one gigantic system! 1t is
almost beyond the imagination.
United Cigar Stores and agen-
cies number about $500. The
Woodwork Sand l0-cent chain
has around 1900 stores. There
are more than 100 Childs restau-
rants.
And these are only few of
the many chain store systems.
Chains of hotels are being estab-
lished. Chains of department
stores are growing.
The growth of chain store
systems has been swift and far
reaching.

Money Crops in Jasper
County

There are nine cheese fac
tories in the State, three of
which are in Jasper county,
turning out 240 pounds Of
cheese each day. Gays r. L.
White, special writer for the At
lanta Georgian. OF two of these
cheese factories he says;
The two cooperative factories
are turning out cheese at the
rate of about 750 or $4,000
pounds per month. The two
factories are of Approximately
the same size, capacity and out
put. The cheese is all consum-
ed in Georgia, marketed for the
most part locally, in Macon, Sa-
vannah and Atlanta. The farm
er-owners Of the factories receice
81 cents, net, per pound for the
cheese, the milk-producers thus
receiving not less than 19c per
gallon for their milk.
Each consumes the output Of
whole milk from about lao cows,
which output, Of course, viii be
greatly increased with the in
creased growth Of pasture grass
es and other milk-making feed
crops. Each consumes the milk
from between Is and Is patrons,
who get their whey back to feed
their hogs and chickens; and they
declare that whey is almost, if
not quite, as good feed as is
milk that has been run through
cream separator.
Besides peaches, Of which
there are 100000 trees, Mr..
White describes another indus
try
It's plum industry has become
an important factor and is grow
ing rapidly, the county now CON
tanning commercial plum orch
ards aggregating 25,000 trees,
some Of the orchards last year
yielding as high as $1,000 to
81 200 per acre. This county
contains more commercial plum
trees than any other in Georgia,
if not the entire South.
Jasper has 1000 pecan trees,
$4,000 laying hens, more hogs
than ever before are being rails
ed. Its peanut crop was worth
last year $4,000.
From a normal production of
10000 bales of cotton, the boil
weevil cut Jasper crop down to
$50 bales in 1923. She is now
learning to produce cotton UNI
der weevil conditions, but in the
meantime is now taking a chance
by sticking to cotton alone.

It's Great to Be a Dad

There are as many kinds of
dads as there are sons. One is

following, from the Rotarian:
Go out and take a walk with him,
And stray with him
Some woodland 49.3dland path where birds
Are flying by on happy wings.
There are so many things to see,
The grass, the rocks, the brooks,

And, if YOU can,

Then you're smarter than l.
Go out and take a walk with him,
And talk with him
Of wonders on the avenue,
The things they build, the things
they do.
There are so many matters great
Far comrades to investigate,
So tell him why and tell him
what,
And figure out
What they're about,
And both Of you viii learn a lot.
Go out awhile and fare with him,
And share with him
The busy world of wonders found
By anyone who looks around.
There are so many things a lad
Would really like to ask dad,
There are SO many days of JOY
In meadows sweet
Or city street,
Just waiting for q man and boy!

His dad is very dear to him,
