it has been the practical com-

of the American farmer which
has met the war-time food emer-

milk and two bushels of grain to
grow where only one grew be-

WHO’S SELLING YOUR CI-TY?
Mt. Vernon’s Tigers and Gilmer’s
j Buckeyes fought to a 20-to-20 tie
Friday night at Mt. Vernon before
an overflowing crowd. Both count-
ed two touchdowns in the first half,
Mt. Vernon’s tallies coming on Cody
to Cherry passes and Gilmer’s by
] Clark and Hogg. The Tigers scored
first in the last half with Caubile
notching the touchdown midway in
the last quarter. Clark scored for
Gilmer and ran over the extra point
to knot the count. In the event that
the two elevens tie for district hon-
ors the game will be credited to Mt.
Vernon who led in penetrations, four
to two.

people up and down Main street say
about the town and how they treat ;
visitors.
Most of us form our opinions about
towns largely by the treatment we j
receive from taxi drivers, waitresses,
hotel clerks, retail sales people, traf- j
fic cops, and gasoline service station
•attendants. This may be illogical
*but it is human nature.
My visit to one great Southern city I
was almost spoiled by an insulting
head waitress. A certain city in
East Texas, which is thc home of
some of our finest citizens, is notori-
ous for its bad food and poor res-
taurants. The name of another nice
little town alw'ays suggests dirty
show-windows to me. In a Southern
resort city recently an unusually
capable and courteous automobile
mechanic and a hotel manager who
went out of his way to favor me had
more to do with “selling’’ me on
that town than their delightful cli-
mate and their excellent chamber
of commerce. Another Southern city
which is prOud of its traditions and
gardens will always be remembered
because of the most exhorbitant taxi
fares in my experience and the larg-
est and most voracious mosquitoes.
A pleasant, alert filling station at-
tendant will meet and greet many
more visitors to your city than the
president of your chamber of com-
merce. That gum-chewing blonde |
waitress at the Bum Bum Cafe dis- j
penses more local history than the |
D. A. R. even if it is mostly incor-
rect. A few live local chambers
have realized the important public
relations value of little people.
Some cities have regular meetings
of waiters, taxi drivers, retail clerks,
and gas service employees to inspire
them to know the city and to sell
it right.
Only a few visitors to a city ever
call at the chamber of commerce.
