FOR" SALE: 400 bushels of
corn, $1.00 per bushel. J. L
Bogue, Timpson.
We are particularly pleased famous Byrne Systems of Book-
in being able to bring about
this big reduction in price a?
this time because the farmer
needs all the help we can give
him and this big cut in price
will be the means of placing a
valuable power unit within the
reach of practically every one
of them, not to mention indus-
trial and commercial concerns
which likewise have benefitted
thru its use and are already
realizing, to a much greater
extent, its value as a power
and hauling unit. But particu-
larly has the Fordson Tractor
proved a most valuable factor
in the saving of farm labor, at
the same time increasing the
per acre crop yield as well as
making possible a utilization
of previously uncultivated land
to say nothing of removing no

| on the tractor price, a further
reduction in price of'either the
I car, Truck or Tractor is out of
the question; in fact, the. big
! price cuts have been made in
anticipation of continuous max-
j imum production and increases

ness is not obtained. There-
fore, present prices of Ford
products cannot be guaranteed

keeping, Business Training and
Shorthand taken the place of
the old systems, and the Tyler
Commercial College with its
modern progressive business
methods has taken its place at
the head of American business
training schools. The reason
is plain; these systems cut in
half the time and cost of be-
coming an expert accountant
or stenographer; they teach
business as well as Bookkeep-
ing; they make it possible for
the student to graduate and
begin earning while the stu-
dent of the other systems is less
than half through his course;
they give the student a more
thorough practical working
knowledge which means a
higher salary and the college

Are You Interested
* in Cash?
If so we will ask you to investigate the idea of dairy farming. We
have a cash market for an unlimited amount of dairy products. The
world war destroyed the dairy herds of central Europe, which elimi-
nates the possibility of over production for years to come.
Texas buys annually between fifty and seventy five million dollars
worth of dairy products. Why not produce them at home. They can
be produced more economically in Texas than any other state in ffie
Union today.
The dairy makes it possible io raise hogs, calves and chickens;
helps to build up the landffi makes a cash return every day; does av/-<v
with credit and builds better homes, ' better schools; makes better
boys and girls.
A dairy community is a cash community. They do not know fail-
ure. Think this over. Mr. Farmer, call on us and we will try to show
you the benefits to be had from dairying.
We have taken the agency for the Texas Creamery Company of
Houston, and are now ready to receive your cream.
