Rural Life Problems and
Current Topic Thoughts
By A. GRAyEsEN, Askov, MINI.


The socialistic and anarchistic
elements | am not afraid of. We
are a BODYBUILDING people and
the above elements cannot thrive
on our soil in the long run. We
may talk and let it appear that
we are very radical, but when
election day comes around we are
pretty careful for whom we cast
our vote. Remember our last
presidential election. Everybody
was third party men, and La Fol
letteism was rife; but Coolidge got
! our votes.
The majority of the people
in this country like to do a
little specializing, but not very
many of them do it at the right
time. We most generally do it
when prices are high, when val
Iues are inflated, and so we fail
to attain the desired end and
lose our wad instead of adding to
it.
In 1919 and 1920 the majority
of the people living in the coun-
try and the smaller towns specu-
lated in land, some of the most
lucky ones made fortunes over
night; but only a few were wise
enough to cash in. AS rule the
gain was reinvested the following
day in another gamble and so it
rolled on, until finally the bubble
burst and broke most of those
people that had been playing the
game. AS it was with the land
dealing game so it is with every
thing else. We want to make our
investments in things that every
body wants at the moment. The
scramble to get hold of it causes
prices to mount, until the crash
comes and we all see that we had
been blinded with greed and rage.
Now, if we used common sense
we would know that the time to
buy is when prices are low, and
things are offered for less than
their true value. If we then
hold on to our purchases for some
time we are sure of gain, 1t
may not be overnight that the
profit will be realized, but it is
sure to come to him who waits.
Many years ago there was a
young man by the name of Pete
down in Iowa somewhere who
had just married a farmers
daughter. He was not rich, in
fact all he possessed was pair of
strong hands and will to use
them, and his young wife. He
himself has told me the story and
| shall try to relate it in his own
words. Il was walking around
the farmyard of my father-in-law
the morning after the wedding,
and coming down to the barn l
met the old man. ! greeted him
good morning, and as he stopped
/ said, say, father-in-law, I am
a young man and quite without
worldly possessions, but / wish
to aquire some of them very
much. Now, | understand that
you came over to this country
from Germany and that you at
that time was about as we'll off
as / am now. How did you man.
age to become the owner of this
fine farm and all the things that
go with it, the report is that you

answered, "I'll tell you, first /
went into debt, head over heels,
and then ! worked like h to

something that was cheap that
my neighbors wouldn't bother

the secret, Pete. If you will al

NATIONALLY KNOWN GRAIN
PRODUCTS ARE MADE HERE

This would mean that San Antonio
has an output Of $7,5O0,OOO worth of
flour annually.
With four sacks Of flour to the bar
rel, this would mean that San An
tonic flour mills use 100000 flour
sacks year. These are estimates by
Martin Giesecke.

1t is also estimated that San An
tonic mills use 100000 feed sacks a
year. This necessitates many thou
sands of pounds of burlap, creates a
real market in San Antonio for this
product.
Exports are made from San An
tonic to the West Indies. The trade
territory includes Mexico, st. Louis,
Texas and other states. The govern
ment is a great consumer of San An
tonio-made flour.
1t is estimated that San Antonio's
flour mills are valued at $1,000, 900.
This is for the buildings, real estate
and machinery.
In addition to the output, mills here
have unusually large storage capaci-
ties.

NUMEROUS HISTORIC
PLACES NEAR CITY

No other American city has as
many points of history as San An
tonic. Histories tell of the years
passed by and describe battles and To-
cations where they were fought, but
cannot give the reader the thrill or
describe the ancient buildings as well
as seeing them with his or her own
eyes. For this reason thousands visit
this city annually.

g RAILROADS LEAD
TO SAN ANTONIO

Nine railroads, including four trunk
lines and five branch roads. lead to
San Antonio. Many paved highways
come into San Antonio from all direc-
tons. With the completion of the
Corpus Christi deep water project, an
other way to get to San Antonio will
be added.
All of these shipping facilities are
making this city the center of trade
for the entire district.

E. f. Richter. proprietor and man
ager Of the King Richter Manufac-
turing company: AT Trade Seasons,
the small town merchant is able to
obtain valuable information as to gen.
eral business conditions throughout
the country. He has an opportunity
TO discuss his problems with in
fluential men in the commercial world
and to receive priceless suggestions
on how to cope with outstanding
handicaps. He comes in personal
contact with the manufacturer and
forms a closer relationship with the
party he deals with. San Antonio
especially offers such advantages. At
every trade season, the wholesalers
bring into this city, men Of high
merchandising reputation who give
talks on merchandising problems
talks that are authentic and well
worth the trip alone because of the
powerful messages they carry TO the
merchant"

uncertain conditions, retail merchants
contemplate buying in smaller
amounts with the intention of reor-
dering systematically. Their addition
al supplies will be rush orders
Hence the neighboring dealer will rely
on serviee-immediat service. San
Antonio markets realize this. San
Antonio wholesalers feature other at
tractive assets. Buyers from the 10.
cal establishments have just returned
from Eastern markets where they pur-
chased the latest items at attractive
prices, having bought them before the
recent advance in cotton. For that
reason. the local houses are able to
give the consumer not only prompt and
satisfactory service, but quality in
merchandise and reasonable rates.
G. p. Menger, president of { the
Hoffman, yman Coffee Company /:
"San Antonio dealers can give their
numerous patrons of the surrounding
territory the advantage in cheap
freight rates. Her excellent rail
routes afford the buyer an opportun-
ity to receive the merchandise with
out any loss of time. Also there is
another side to the present trading
problem to which few have heretofore
looked. San Antonio is in the heart
Of a vast territory embracing millions
of acres Of land and reaching to scores
and scores of smaller towns. If the
neighboring dealers trade with this
city, there is the natural tendency
for San Antonio to grow more rapidly.
By San Antonio growing and increas-
ing, the smaller cities will also be
benefited proportionately because our
interests are mutual

early realized that success is attained
through representative merchandise at
representative prices and through
sales that are repeated not once but
continuously. 1t is for that reason
that San Antonio can proudly de-
clare that her growth has not fluc-
tuated like the temperature, but has
grown steadily and up on a. solid
foundation. Her trade seasons, like
a barometer, have proven that she has
rooted herself deeply in the hearts

ings prevail
NJ. C. Hill, president of the Alamo
Printing company: How often the
average merchant of the surrounding
territory finds that through fleeting
time several months have elapsed since
he last chatted with his best business
friend and colleague. Sometimes that
acquaintance may even hail from his
own home town while oftentimes it
happens to be an associate living
many miles away. Trade weeks tend
to form a closer bond between one
neighboring merchant and the other.
He also finds the opportune moment
TO squeeze in social chat with an
old-time pal. Trade week gives the
business man an opportunity to break
away from the ordinary routine Of
daily toll and to rest in q new and
friendly surrounding and an environ
mcnt which makes him feel at home.
1t is truly n pleasure to witness the
prevalence Of joviality throughout the
various wholesale concerns the
brotherly handshakes, the friendly
pats, the honest to goodness greet
ings when friends meet friends. Is
not this asset alone worth considera-
tion?r
