shalled capital, organized jack
sons Incorporated, and started the
first negro-owned electrical appli-
ance business in the South.
Now it is one of the largest in
the UNITED States, and has
been cited by manufacturers sew
eral times for having sold the
greatest volume of national brand
appliances in the Atlanta area for
given periods of time.
The appliance store, located at
1856 Auburn Avenue, n. E. was re-
Gently remodeled and is now one of
the most modern appliance stores
in the city. 1t occupies a two
story building, stocked with all late
model electrical and gas home APP
pliances.
The business employs twenty
three persons, receiving salaries
comparable to those paid by other
local downtown stores. Over $4,000
was paid to employees in salaries
and commissions each month since
last July, according to James Gil
bert, employed as bookkeeper for
the firm.
The Jackson business philosophy
which has paid off in sales and
growth says Bill Nunnally, sales
manager for the organization, is to
"give customers the best products
at prices that compete with any
other store in town." Then he adj
ded, "and to give prompt attention
to any complaints and quick SER
vice on any appliance that needs
repair
The organization, in addition to
giving employment to two secre-
taries a receptionist, salesman, de-
livery men, and departmental man
ayers, has an efficient service de-
partment. Trained radio, television
and refrigeration technicians, in
stall and repair Jaekson's appli-
ances. They boast that their own
cabinet-maker does the neatest
job of installing tailored kitchens"
in Atlanta homes.
One salesman, Marion Arm
strong, has been with the business
since it began in 1898; Leon Mof-
fit service repariman, and sew
eral others have been employed on
full time basis for three years
or more. Miss Helen Harpe, recep-
ZIONIST, pointed to an attractive
"ladies power room" on the second
floor of the store that has brought
many appreciative compliments
from ladies who frequent the Au-
burn Ave-, business section. She
said the room was installed for the
convenience of ladies who work, or
come to Auburn for the many pro-
fessional services found there.

| Model T which they sold to make
the down-payment on three mules.
Il was ready to make another try
at farming" says Mr.. Lee. 81
rented IS acres of cottonland, and
went into debt to buy feed for my
mules and food for my family"
In order to get enough money to
buy Sunday clothes and pay church
dues, he worked part-time as a
clipper in a turpentine forest.
When his cotton was ginned,
there were II bales. He paid off
his debts and paid down on a truck
which he used to haul fuel wood to
! town.
BY 1887, the Lees were able to
pay $500 down on 202 acres of run
down, eroded land. With the help
of his county agent and Soil Con-
servation Service, they halted ero-
sion, healed the gullies, and in
creased the productivity of their
farm.
Among other things, they set out
800 pecan trees. Most of them
now are bearing fruit. During good
years, their pecans bring close to
$4,000.
Little by little, Mr.. Lee and his
family increased their land. Today.
they own 431 acres. Improved soil
and water conservation practices
have increased markedly their yield
of peanuts, corn, tobacco and truck
crops, Receipts from crops, inclu-
ling 100 hogs and a few head Of
cattle totaled about $1,000 last
year.
Four years ago, they remodeled
their home. Morris NJ. Martin, the
county agent, supplied them with
plans, and offered helpful sugges-
tions. "Mr. Martin is big help to
me and the other farmers in this
community" Mr.. Lee told State
Agent P. H. Stone the other day.
Mr.. Martin has been an agent in
Bulloch county since 1914. He has
organized nine farmers clubs and
20 All clubs. 81 have six children
in All clubs" says the 45-year-old
farmer. "My other four came along
before we had clubs in this county.
Now they are grown and have
moved away"
But Mr.. Lee is counting on Dan
lei, his oldest boy at home, to take
over the farm when he retires. 81
have two tractors, and Dan can
handle either one of them like
man; he enjoys it, too," the father
boasts.
Daniel, who is Is, says he has
learned a lot in All club work.
Thinks he would like to make farm
ing his carer after four years at
Fort Valley A. & M. college.

CoIored Farmer Who Started Out
As A Tenant With ''Piece OF
A Mule" Now Crosses $1,000

STATESBORO, Ga.-Robert L.
Lee, $11, 000-a-year farmer, who
owns 430 acres near here, had a
hard time getting started in farm
ing.
"Only my determination, help from
my county agent, and few side
line jobs kept me and my family
going It'll we got on our feet" says
Mr.. Lee who has developed one of
the most highly diversified farms
in Georgia's cotton belt.
His cropping program now in
cludes cattle, hogs, peanuts, corn
pecans, tobacco, turpentine, timber
truck crops, and cotton. "But this
is my last year in cotton" Mr.. Lee
states. "You know, cotton takes
lot of work; my children are
growing up now and are going on
their own. So, / think / had bet
ter get into something | can handle
mostly myself"
Mr.. Lees 1850 farm plan pro-
vides for the dropping of cotton
and for a marked expansion of cat
tie production. He has spent a good
part of this year developing pas
lures and putting up fences.
1t was in 1880 that Mr.. Lee first
tried his hand at operating farm.
He started out as tenant with 20
acres and "piece of mule" Be-
fore that he had done some farm
ing with his father, but mostly he
had worked at sawmills and in the
turpentine forest.
His first crop-cotton and corn
brought him only S125. eff it
hadn't been for the money I earned
turpentining on the side, | don't
know what me and family would
have done," Mr.. Lee asserts.
But he had planned to continue
and was ready to plant when his
mule dropped dead. With no mule,
he couldn't make a crop. So he
took his family to Florida to har-
vest crops.
Two years later, Mr.. Lee and his
family returned to Statesboro in a

Picture Hangs Upside Down
Three Weeks; Artist Irked

COLUMBUS, OHIO.-Emerson
c. Burkhart, Ohio artist, prob
ably is still bordering the age
old query: what is art?"
Burkhart submitted a canvas
for exhibition at an Ohio state
fair. For an entire week, patrons
visited the canvas, looked at it
and said they admired it.
Then the artist strolled in to
see how his work compared with
others. He was stunned. Look,
he told officials, this picture
should be hung horizontal, not
vertical.
"a colossal mistake" he COM
planned to the director OF the
show.
The director took a natural, If
not purely objective view OF the
situation. Why change it, was
the gist Of his answer. Every
body, the director said, liked
the picture just as it was. The
director stood his ground. The
picture was unchanged.
The picture was the under
side of an abandoned bit OF
machinery-really should have
been exhibited horizontally.

SIGNS ARE PLACED
 ON HIWAY BY ARC;
 DEMAND PROTECTION

The Alaska Road Commission is erecting signs along the paved portions of the highways as re- minders to the public that certain practices must be prohibited for the protection of the pavement. The Alaska Highway Patrol will CO., operate in enforcing these restric- tions by prosecuting violators.
 Signs now necessary are as fol- lows:
 Tractors With Lugs Prohibited" :" It is obvious that steel-wheeled ve- hicles, tractors with grousers. and farm equipment with Jugs must be kept off the pavement.
 Load Limit ( ) Tons: During the spring breakup especially, loads must be reduced in direct propor- tion to the weakening that occurs in the l.ase due to frost thawing action. These limit signs will be changed and used as conditions vary
 Only 5 percent of the normal traffic will be affected by these restrictions; however. that percent can easily ruin the roads for the other 95 percent by not cooperating. One hundred percent interest and effort towards complying with the necessary restrictions is essential to the protection of our roads.
 Another matter of importance is the protection from damage of the signs themselves. Many important signs, designed to aid motorists, have been defaced or almost de- stroyed in the past by being shot 1t. Obviously, no amount of effort expended to protect motorists or to protect the roads by means of signs will be effective if the signs themselves are destroyed. The CO., operation of the public to prevent this waste is needed, and everyone can help.
