fortunes that year may hold.
But the business man in town must
live the same as his brother in the
country, and like the farmer, he is
out to make a living and to reach as
far as possible toward a profit for his
activities in the course of the year.
To that end, the retailer and the
wholesaler, the jobber and the manu-
facturer make as strong an appeal as
possible to the people with whom he
must do business.

Greetings OF
Kiwanis Club
Very Cordial
BY WILLIAM r.. TURNER,
eSident. Henderson KiWaniS Cir


Henderson as whole has been pre-
pairing itself for some time to offer a
welcome unprecedented to the far
mers of this territory when they again
return for the fall markets. The XII
wants Club especially, for which I
speak, is looking forward to the re-
newal of friendly and business con-
facts this season of the year always
brings. Our organization is made up
of men to whom farmers of this Sec
ton are well known, and it's members
are ready to greet them with every
interested service in their power.
Organized some fifteen years ago,
the Kiwanis club has watched and
and prosper, and it is with distinct
pride that we note that the same far
mers, year after year, bring their to-
baccO and cotton to our city. This
fact can be due to only one thing
that Henderson can offer on the
floors of it's warehouses, in it's cotton
gins, and in it's other business es.
adjustments prices for produce and
service from it's concerns that cannot
be excelled elsewhere.
To those farmers who are new in
this section-and there are quite a
number according. to farm reports
we say this:
Bring your marketables to our city
and let us demonstrate to you our
friendliness and our ability to send
you home more satisfied and content
with your business transactions than
you have ever been. The members of
fhe Kiwanis club will feel it pri-
vilege to be called upon in any cap
acity in which they may be of SER
vice to you or your families.
In closing, let me remind you that
if you want to meet your friends at
the same time you are attending to
business, make Henderson your head
quarters, for your friends will all be
here.
