The days of the tourists are fast passing for this ^
summer, but the days of harvest time are equally
fast approaching. There was a time when we could
and did survive without the tourists, but never yet
has history recorded the date when, man could keep (
on going without a harvest season. They both are
.mod but surely the latter is the most important ot
The two, and that is why we are ready to welcome
it. i
WHY NOT A CRUSHING PLANT?
Just why Llano County does not possess a rock
crushing plant from which the very best of road
material could be supplied, is a question that would
be hard to answer, and probably the ouly solution
that might be offered is the fact that the idea has
never been given thorough consideration by those
who might In able to finance such an enterprise.
Yet another reason is the fact that ouside capital,
which is constantly in search of paying investments
does not know of the advantages offered in this
county to such a plant.
The News has often referred to such an enterprise
and a note from J H. Carter this week, telling of
the vast ; aunt of crushed stone being shipped in-
to Texc- ' ■< Oklahoma, for road building work,
has" suggest* i the thought to our mind, perhaps
more forcibly then ever before.
hi this county, and right along Beside the railroad
track, may be found mountains of soft stone, which
is easily crushed, and has been passed upon by en-
gineers and contractors as the best road material
obtainable.
The News has been informed by those who are in
a position to know, that the proposition may be fi-
nanced on a scale large enough to show what can
be done and also pay a handsome dividend, for
something lev lio n -*'bb.
Are we glad to see the fall days corningV Why,
of course, and for more reasons than one. We like
the cool weather, but better still, that is the season
of the year when the subscription money begins
coming in a little more rapidly, and when advertis-
ing picks up to an extent that meets expenses. We
all, as a rule, feel better during the fall season, be-
cause conditions bring about the character of
changes that most of' us are glad to welcome.

A post card comes to us from an old Llano man
out in California. On this card is pictured some
magnificent scenery and a few lines of printed mat-
ter tell of the great work going on in the Pacific
State.. Across the picture, our friend has written ;
this question, “Had you rather live in Texas than
a wonderful country like this?'’ We give this sim-
ple answer, if we hadn’t rather be in Texas, then;
we would be in Californa. If there was one single |
spot on earth that would appeal to us more than 1
Llano County, then we would try our best to get
there, but to use the language of the little school
boy, ‘There ain’t no such a place.

Bring Your Cotton
To the LLANO GIN
This plant has been thoroughly overhauled from top to bottom. It
is being operated by S. C. Inman and W. W. Conley, two well experi-
enced ginmen, who have been in the business for years and know how
to turn out the very best staple.
Ask the man who has already given this gin a trial
We know that he was satisfied, because the service he has secured
here this year is the best obtainable, and that is the kind of work the
Llano Gin is going to turn out in the future.
When Farmers bring their cotton to this place, they are assured of
good, clean seed, a good staple, and the most prompt service it is pos-
sible to render. i
Already Farmers are coming to this Cin from the extreme paits of
the County, because they have learned that here they can get exactly
what they want in the way of ginning and the Llano Gin is ready and
anxious to give this kind of service to every farmer who will give us
his patronage.
Our Customers must be satisfied. We are going to see to it that
they are satisfied. It is through this policy that we expect to build up
a great patronage for the Llano Gin, consequently we must, and are,
and will continue to render the very best Service.
Try the Llano Gin Once
We Know You Will Come Back
Every Farmer is entitled to the very best staple his cotton will
turn out. If he fails to secure it, then he is the loser.
Profit by patronizing the Llano Gin
