ARANSAS PASS PROGRESS
February 26tb, 1950
Attention Cucumber Growers—
Gash for Your Cucumbers
Do you sell your Cucumbers for Cash or do you let some other fellow handle them on
commission and you stand the losses? There never has been a commission dealer who
does not have some losses on some of the cars handled for the account of the growers.
You can’t sell for cash and commission* You may sell a cash buyer a car and let
your commission man handle a car, both cars may go to the same market. You have
made competition for yourself.
We are strictly cash buyers. We pay you for your cucumbers as soon as they are
unloaded and graded. You do not have to wait on your money and you stand no loss-
es. It takes from ten to thirty days for your commission man to get the sales on cars.
If there is a loss who pays it? You do. :#§! !; * ill#'-
line up
It will be well for you to think the commission question over before you
with any commission dealer.
And remember, the cash you get out of your cucumbers is what counts. Write to
us in regard to your acreage.
We will be with you from beginning to the ending of the deal.
We Pay Cash For Cucumbers

WHY
They Serve
Every one of the people of this community who devote their
time and energies to serving the public with telephone service is
actuated by more than the mere incentive of promotion or pay.
This is sometimes called the “Spirit of Service.” It is the
spirit that urges these men and women to uphold the tradition that
the telephone business is an every-minute-of-the-year business, and
that it must be ready to serve—winter or summer, good times or bad
times, day or night.

This urge has meant the performance of tasks in the face of
