Afford Shop.
Growing Fast,
Expands Again

Few local enterprises have had
such steady growth and expansion
as has come to Affords Printing and
Office Supply Company. Launched
by Sam Afford some six or eight
years ago, the business has just
moved into the third location it has
occupied IN that time.
The concern proclaims itself as
Henderson's only complete office
supply store and the most modern
printing establishment in this Sec
ton.
From a modest beginning as a
small print shop, the business
broadened to include the office sup
ply store that was opened on the
opposite side of the street from the
original location Now both are
housed in the same building further
down Garnett street, nearly opposite
the post office, with the office sup
ply store on the ground floor, busi-
ness quarters on the mezzanine and
the print shop on the second floor
The company is exclusive agent
in this section for L. c. Smith and
Corona typewriters, Monarch and
Allen-Wales adding machines, and
all of the leading lines of office sup
plies and furniture. The establish
ment is modern and up-t date, is
well equipped for all kinds of print
ing, and the store is we'll stocked
with merchandise that meets every
requirement of the modern office.
A full line of school supplies is
available for the young people as
they start to school in the next few
weeks.
Sam Afford, the owner, is a live
and energetic business man of Hen

Prices for Wheat
Lowest in Years;
Surplus Blamed

Washington, Aug. 31.-A wide as
sortment of economic measures is be-
ing employed by the Government to
keep the full impact of record
world supply of wheat from making
itself felt on domestic prices.
Granaries throughout the world are
bulging with grain for which there is
no ready market. Nations which once
imported large quantities of the grain
have stepped up their production.
Power machinery has increased pro-
duction in the agricultural countries.
AS a consequence, world trade in
wheat has shrunk almost 40 per cent
since the World War. production,
on the other hand, has tended to in
crease. The result has been sur
pluses which serve to depress prices.
Prices Slump Sharply.
Prices in Liverpool-the worlds
key market-have slumped this sea-
son to the lowest level in modern
times. Recent quotations have been
about SIS cents a bushel, Under nor
NAL market relationships, the price
in Chicago would be between 35 and
40 cents, and on the farm in the
wheat belt 80 cents or less. Such
prices have been described by farm
ers as ''ruinouS."
AS it is, Chicago prices have been
running about 10 cents above the
Liverpool market. Thus, American
prices stand out as a peak above the
plane of world prices.
Farm officials and economists ex-
plain that factors helping maintain
American prices at the abnormal
level include governmental policies
of price-pegging and supply con-
troll.

Mr.. Turner is known as one of
the most active younger business men
of Henderson. He is past president
of the Kiwanis club, a member of the
First Baptist church, and is interested
in welfare work among the under
privileged children of the community.
He is an experienced business man,
and enjoys the respect and confidence
of great number Of patrons of the
market and of other citizens with
whom he comes in contact.

Turner Market

sea foods. w. R. Turner is the mana
ger, and succeeded his late father in
the business, which the latter estab-
lished many years ago and conduct
ed until his death.
For some decades, the market has
supplied continuously the dining
tables of many homes in the COM
munity. Customers who have been
with the company through these
years constitute one of the best rec
concentrations that can be had as to
the type of service and satisfaction
rendered and the quality of meats
handled.
Several months ago, the store ad-

ing loans to growers or their wheat
at rates above WOrlc levels tends,
they say, to put a prop under those
prices. Thus, at the present time.
many farmers are able to get more
money for their wheat by storing 1t
and obtaining a government loan
than by selling in the open market.
AS more and more wheat goes in
to storage under loans, the supply
available for millers diminishes. Con-
sequently they must bid up their
prices in order to get grain.
Production Control.
The Government also has sought
to improve prices by controlling the
production. Because farmers produc-
ed bumper crop last year, the Gov
ernment asked them to grow less
this year. They responded by plant
ing about 20 per cent less and pro-
ducing crop expected to Just about
equal the nations needs during the
season ahead.
In another effort to reduce surplus
supplies the Government has been
paying exporters bounty on wheat
sold abroad. The bounty was neces-
sary because American prices were
above those prevailing in foreign
markets. During the past season, 49,
100000 bushels were exported under
the subsidy program at a cost of
about $28,O0O,OOO.
