lima Law Enforcement Divi-
sion) officers during which he
shot at car driven by SLED

ume.
When American Foods OPEN
ed up this year, the pre-cool-
ing facilities were double that
OF year ago and the two big
pre-coolerS and unloading dock
offer the finest facilities for
handling berries in the entire
area.
American Foods last year
lhS'lgated d new marketing
concept in Columbus County
by offering their nationally-
prominent selling organization
to farmers of the area. The
selling firms take the berries
from the grower, pre-cool
them to about 38 degrees and
ship them to all parts of ma
ton and Canada. American
Foods charges the farmers a
flat percentage of the selling
price on the distant markets,
and this system last year
proved to farmers that it is
by far superior to the old auc-
ton system that left the grow
ers at the mercy of a few
closely knit berry buyers.
Prior to American Foods
entering the berry business in
Columbus, farmers had to rush
their berries to market early
IN the morning or face a dras-
tIcally reduced price on the
auction market in the after
noon. The American Foods
system has eliminated this diff
! ference and there is never a
great break in price f rom
morning to afternoon of the
same day.
1t also offered growers for
the first time a chance to get
their berries to market quick
ly, unload and be back at the
berry patch in a matter of
minutes. There was no delay
in an auction line and berries
were unloaded promptly upon
arrival at the market.
The new system also was
opened early in the morning
and remained open until after
dark at night to give every
grower ample opportunity to
pick his berries and get them
TO the pre-cooler at his con-
Venience.
American Foods also handles
uniform flat and sells these to
growers who market with
them at near wholesale prices.
The buying firm pays the
growers who do business with
them once each week with a
single check deducting the
supplies used by the grower
during the week and also the
sales commission. The growers
were introduced to the new
system last year and express
ed complete satisfaction with
the profits made in their deal
ingS with American Foods. Ev-
cry farmer received his check
on time with proper deduc-
tons and proved to himself
the advantages of the Ameri-
can Foods system as compared
with the out dated auction
market.
American Foods has also
changed the packing system
used by berry growers for
many years: that is the old

CHAMBERS
NOW
OFFERS A
COMPLETE
GRAVE
PLAN /
w. w. Chambers Co., on,

Of the originators Of the COM
plete funeral plan, now offers
. complete grave plan.
Most people do not real
ize their needs and what
services an undertaken must
furnish them. It was for this
reason many years ago that
Chambers instituted the COM
plete funeral plan with its
famous all inclusive sixty
services.
This covers all needs
from caSket to newspaper
death notice; from limousine
to church arrangements. Re
gardleSS of price, everyone
receives the same fine service
from Chambers. The only diff
ference in the cost of a funer-
al at Chambers is determined
by the price of the caSket you
select.
Now such a plan is avail
able to those who have imme-
diate need Of a grave site.
Many people have already
selected their family grave
site, but few people realize
that although they have paid
for their grave site, there
are still additional costs that /
must be paid If there is an
interment.
For example, the ceme-
terry makes a charge for the
opening and closing Of the
grave site. Nowadays, too,
many cemeteries require the
use Of a concrete box in
which the casket is enclosed.
This concrete liner, too, is
an extra charge. Likewise,
such basic equipment as a
grass rug to cover the freshly
turned earth or an awning
in the event of inclement
weather as well as the use
Of the cemetery's equipment
are part Of the opening and
closing charge.
Through special arrange
ments at beautiful Washing
ton National Cemetery, the
w. w. Chambers Company is
able to offer a complete grave
site to meet all requirements
for the all-inclusive price Of
500. Because of Chambers
desire to serve to the best Of
ability in time of need, this
plan Is naturally available
only for immediate use.
It has always been the
Chambers policy to provide
the most in service and facili-
ties for the least price posi-
BILE. Now with this new Cham
bers plan 1t is possible for
the bereaved to know exactly,
in advance, Of the minimum
as well as the maximum
amount Of money they will
have to spend.
For example, you may
select a Chambers funeral for
as low as $3.50 and the COM
lete grave service for 500,
making your total expendi-
ture $S40., There will be no
additional charges, no extras.
You will receive the same fine
Chambers service as those
who would spend more.
Comparable sites in this
beautiful cemetery are nat
urally more expensive and
this does not include the
additional charges at the
time Of purchase for those
who will be using the site in
years to come.
It is only because OF the
Chambers Company's desire
to provide the complete serv-
ices at the lowest possible
price In time Of immediate
need that such an offer is
possible.
It is such a policy that
has made Chambers one OF
the largest undertakers in
the world and why more fam
lilies select Chambers than
any other undertaken in the
area.
In time Of death only
the best will suffice and that
