BUSINESS FOLK
| CALL ON TONG

With automobiles more and more
being put away for the winter, and
with other difficulties, such as slip
perry sidewalks and storms, business
men find 1t convenient to take their
noon time lunches down town.
A whole lot of them are going to
the Young China restaurant just
north Of the Colonial theatre on
Water street. They find the service
good, the food highly satisfactory
and the prices reasonable. But 1t
isn't only the business men of the
city who go here by any means.
Farmers and others from nearby
places when they are in town find
this desirable place and so do many
of the business women of the city.
Alfred Tong. proprietor of the
Young China restaurant, takes lot
of pride in his attractive place.
Everything there Is always spic and
span, and the kitchens are models
of neatness. AS a matter of fact
Alfred Tong Is mighty glad to have
his friends drop in at any time and
inspect his place. The care and neat
ness with which things are prepared,
the excellence of the cooking and the
genuine welcome one always gets
tueIc are HiOIc tfitl worth WHiie.
When the Colonial theatre again
opens and when the Legislature is
again in session, seats at the Young
China restaurant tables will be at q
premium 1t is always a custom for
business or professional associates
to go there In groups. 1t gives them
a good chance to talk over their
problems and to enjoy good meal
at the same time.
Alfred Tong has been a resident of
Augusta for so long now that he
seems like an old timer. There are
few people in the city wo do not
know him and few he doesn't know.
More than that, every one Is glad to
receive one of Alfred's whole heart
ed smiling greetings. whether 1t is in
his restaurant or when he is met on
the street

FRED" WILL CUT
OUT TAKING CHANCES

If there's one thing more than any
other for which Red" Sherman can
be- given credit 1t is his ability of
keeping right up with the times.
Red Sherman. as most people
know, is none other than o. E. Sher-
man. owner and proprietor of
Sherman's garage on Bridge street,
Augusta. RED" knows the automo-
bile game pretty thoroughly, and
being auto wise as he is, he knows
that no man should venture out in
his car in winter time without hav-
ing tire chains.
Naturally, then, he is prepared to
meet demands for chains, and espe-
cially Mckay chains which he feat
ures. More than that, he can give
Mckay chain service, which is
most desirable thing. When roads
are slippery or Icy and chains are
given some pretty tough wear, cross
even In the best of makes. The Nc
Kay chain, being one of the best,
sometimes suffers along with the
rest. 1t is no pleasant thing to hear
chain cianking against the mud
guard as one rides through the
streets. Sherman's garage is ready
to remedy the trouble and will do
it with neatness and dispatch.
Proper fabrication of automobiles
Is another essential for cold weather
driving and Red" is prepared to
give this with his lubricants. Slick"
the newest he has, has been tried
out by a number of artists in this
section and has been pronounced
good. No wonder, for Uncle Sam
himself has passed a verdict of this
kind and has found that "Slick' fills
a desired need.
If there are some autoists who are
thinking of putting up their cars for
the winter, then Sherman is ready to
take care of them, for his garage Is
big and steam heated and offers ex-
cellent facilities for winter storage.

VALLEY POULTRY RAISERS MUST CUT
COSTS TO BONE IN ORDER TO MAKE
PROFIT, SAYS ADVISOR CARTHWAITE

sen. Laying stock on farms is
larger than the last five years.
Cheaper feeds have been a contrib
uting factor. The increase is so
large that it must be regarded rs in
dicating a definite and sizable in
crease in production over the
amounts recorded last year. The
heavy supplies of fresh eggs and the
low price obtained on them caused
a notable restriction in the demand
for stored goods. Consequently
prices prevailing on storage eggs
have been such, throughout Jan,
uary. that in many cases the first
cost. plus storage and interest
charges, has not been obtainablc.
p. '. Ewing, research director Of
Sears Roebuck Co., and ii national
authority says: ''Prices have fol
lowed downward trend since early
December. They are still above the
level which will prevail during the
spring, and the trend during the
next month or two will continue
downward. -

A statement sent out to the poultry
producers by the farm advisor reads
in part as follows:
"Only by cutting production costs

The price Of eggs in FL Centre
January 6, 1926 was 46c per dozen
as compared 70 33c per dozen for
January q, 1925. The drop in egg
prices came nearly a month earlier
this year than for several years. The
daily report of the L. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics shows that
on February d, 1926. there were $50
cases Of eggs on cold storage in Los
Angeles, as compared to Il cases on
the same day last year, while the
