column died at dawn. Our friend
Mr.. Walt Disney, papa of Mickey
and Minnie Mouse, Clarabella
Cow, ct al, has decided that in the
future he will turn out feature
length animated films. This de-
cision was based on preliminary
Seeings of his first feature, Snow

that animating is not lucrative, it
might cheer you to know that Mr..
d., under his RKO contract, gets
SIS, 900 apiece for Silly Sym
Iphonies and Mickey Mice, and
after the costs of the picture,
prints, advertising and lots of
other things are paid off, he splits
the profits with RKO, $3.50. But
beyond that, his outside income
from Mickey Mouse dolls, books,
comic strips, cutoutS and what
have you, nets him again as much
as he makes from the actual
pictures.

NO TOMATOES
THRU THIS WEEK

No tomato shipments passed
through Nogales this week from the
west coast of Mexico.
Shippers have been practically
shut down since December II ac-
count of no market.
Few peas have crossed the border
here and the pea market, too, is
weak.
Lack of market for tomatoes, it
is said, is due to the hol: days, cold
weather, and plenty of tomatoes
from Cuba, on which the duty is
just one half of what it is on Mex
lean tomatoes.
To date this winter vegetable
shipments from the west coast have
been as follows:
158 carloads OF tomatoes. 81 peas,
"a peppers. beans, mixed vege-
tables. This total is ahead Of the
total last year at tlliG time when
there had been 148 cars of which
60 were tomatoes. 20 peas Z pc.21crs
3 beans, 1 egg plant, and IL mixed.

advertising and its increasing val
ue to the continued business and
industrial development of the ma
ton was emphasized here in a
statement made public by T. Wag-
ner, div sion manager of Pay'n TAX
it stores.
Citing his own company as a
barometer to indicate the attitude
of business toward advertising, he
declated that he considered the
growth of Pay'n Takit stores and
other chain stores but a reflection
of the power of newspapers to be
an influential factor securing pub
lie respect and public patronage.
"As far as Pay'n Takit ii con-
cerned", he continued, "our adver-
tising has been predominantly in
the newspapers, and I consider it
an important factor in the growth
of this company.
"It is through advertising that the
people come to know and under
stand the scope of any business
concerns public service, and the
commodities it offers for public
consumption. In this new age Of
and distribution, consist
ent advertising helps materially to
create respect and confidence for
those who use newspaper space.
"It seems only natural that those
concerns using newspaper space un-
interrupted year after year do re-
tain the highest confidence of the
public they serve. The customers
have found out that they can
truthfully rely upon the advertised
product, service and economy which
so often feature the display copy
of the Pay'n Takit stores"
