OPTIMISM IN
TRADE CIRCLES
HEALTH SEALS

While business presented O
checkered appearance in October
and early November throughout the
United States pending election, ac-
cording to Frank Greene, editor OF
Bradstreet's and compiler of the
Nations Business economic map
there seems To be an indication
that the backswing has spent its
force and that q rally is in order.
A decidedly optimistic trend is
noted in El Centro. according to
the FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce. due TO the continuation of
the pea season beyond the time
when pea shipping was ended last
year and to the firm rise in butter
fat prices. Butterfat has now risen
to a point where the dairyman is
getting AZ per cent increase over
what he was receiving early in
November. This increase is paid the
milk producer in actual cash and
amounts to $4,000 a month, or
$1,000 a day more income to the
valley than was received one month
ago. AS the dairyman will spend
this increased income in the local
channels of trade, it is evident that
the increase in butterfat price will
result in an increase in volume of
sales and money in circulation
throughout the valley.
Although bank suspensions for
October throughout the country
were less numerous than a year
ago and credit conditions were
looSening a little, with the textile
industries, wholesale and retail, re-
tanning their earlier leadership and
showing gains in employment and
pay rolls, rural trade seemed more
depressed than city business be-
cause of carry-overs and light eX-
ports. Again Imperial Valley shows
contrast with other rural sec
tions, the chamber staff points out
because this is the time of year
when Imperial Valley crops start
to move and when the huge an
nual agricultural income of this
community starts to come in.
Local merchants report little
change in volume of sales during
November over October but, with
the Christmas shopping season now
here, it is expected that the usual
seasonal increase will be noted dur
ing December and, if oncoming
crops prove success and the pri-
ces for valley products remains
satisfactory, there is every reason to
believe that the Christmas increase
in volume of retail sales will con-
tinue after the first of the year.

jenkins, local postmaster. Special
delivery packages will be handled
first at functions along with first
class mail and no delay will be
tolerated. This special handling is
available at no additional cost if a
special delivery stamp appears on
the package, the postmaster said.
Immediate delivery upon arrival at
destination is assured with the pur-
chase Of a special delivery stamp.
In order to avoid delay, all
charges should be paid at the time
the package is mailed here. Should
an insufficient amount Of postage
appear On the parcel, it often is re-
turned to the sender or notice OF
insufficient postage is sent and the
package withheld from delivery un-
til the correct amount is received.
First class mail such as letters
and written and sealed matter re-
quire three cents for each ouT3ee.

master explained.

ling for parcels not marked special

not large and give the sender a
feeling of security. The insurance
charges are in addition to the reg
ular postage"
The postmaster again asked the
cooperation of the public in avoid
ing a last minute rush Of Christ
mas mail.

Security Title Insurance an d
Guarantee company and B. E.

Parks several weeks ago filed a
supposed notice of default by
| Crawford and his company in pay
ments on promissory note and
ordered sale by the title company

On consideration of dismissal of
suit then pending against him,
according to the complaint, Parks
agreed to continue sale of the
/ property for a period of one year
The suit was dismissed, the COM
plant said, but Parks failed to
live up to his agreement, order
ing the title company to proceed
with the sale.
