DR.. Baker is a Tennesseean, an
affable and delightful man, who has

Texas. and everyone who knows him
feels certain that within few

Marshall as he has been in Browns
vile.

Texas Market News Bureau when the
presen. season closes.
Hunter has had special training for
this highly specialized work, and
the vegetable growing sections Of

Public service such as that Of
Hunter is rarely paid as well as the
same ability in private service,
Which i why Hunter Il going with

And who can blame him? Hunter
