The Overall Movement FLORENCE TAKES LEAD. Our farmers have been repeatedly advised, in season and out of season, for years past to diversify their farm crops. The one paramount reason ihy th<* have failed to diversify to a greater extent is the absolute lack of a market for diversified farm pro ; duce. We stick to the ‘ One Crop System” for the Simple reason that we have only One Market System. Farmers find a ready market for Their cotton, and within the past few years a ready market for their to bacco. but for other farm produce they find no certain or ready mar ket. - ’ • ■ If a farmer raises more corn than he needs and has some to sell he must first find a more unfortunate neighbor who will buy his corn or then he fhust peddle it from store to store perhaps exchanging it for merchandise. If he ha*,’ a few more • bogs than his actual need requires he must depend on the local butcher to take them off his hands or then peddle his meat about the streets' and k a few such peddlers a day will com ^ pletely glut the market. And so with all his farm produce save that of his cotton and tobacco. The day Is rapidly approaching, [\ however, when thi^ antiquated sys tem will be changed. The day is not far distant when the farmer of Flor- s ence county may load his wagon or truck with diversified farm produce drive into Florence and find a ready cash market for &11 he has to sell. No enterpilse in the South today offers greater possibilities than a Marketing Bureau. A- market place ; where the varied and diversified pro ducts of the southern farms may be turned into ready cash. The world -Seeds every bit of produce that can possibly be raised on the southern farms and is ready and willing to pay the market price for such pro- t»Ce. It Is a matter of pride that in this •eat move Florence has again taken lead and such a marketing asso ciation has already been organized backed by some of the leading Citizens of this community. Jt will 11 a long felt need. It opens up marvelous possibilities for tfis en tire soction, not only furnishing to the prodneer a ready market for all produces hut at. the same time giv- to the consumer a marl^t place here he may be able to buy what oduce he needs' and may want. IHe movetnenl Is bound to spread possibilities are great. It will volutionfze farminf in this section it will save to the farmer*,' thous- AUds of dollars that now go to Yfraste 1 for the lack of a market. >44444*444444444 > TODAYS BIRTHDAYS 4 >444444444444444 Prince Henry, consort of Queen Wllhelmfna of the Netherlands, barn in Mecklenurg-Schwerin, 44 yeuts ago today.

It Is to be hoped that Spartanburg will not join in the "Oyerall Move ment.” It is very foolish and un economic. It does not mean lower price of a suit of overalls has J>een but higher prices for entrails. 'The price of a suit pf ovofam hbs been about -2.60; the prospect of n- greatly Increased demand has already driven the price up to -6 in some places, and if Hie present craze spread* the pr1c*5 will go still higher. There is proba bly mpra profit in overalls at to ?10 the *;nrit than there is in’‘a suit of all woolen goods, if there is such a tiling, at $40 to $60. Men who work for their living do not wear overalls because they are comfortable or look well but to protect their other cloth ing. That is economy. ThaJ, is not show, “sound and fury signifying noth ing.” The Overall Movement, is a foolish movement. A belter movement would be a movement to make stripes Iho fashionable dress for the profiteers. It would be found doubtless that the manufacturers of clothing are not alone to blame for'the high cost of living. There are the shoemakers who dft seem to stand exactly square on their feel. There are others. But we do not care to indulge in personalities ex cept to say that (here are ten of thousands of nhlebodicd men in nil parts of this country who ought to bo et work helping to produce the things that are necessary for the comfort, and sustenance of the people in such volume that the* supplies would he ."dequrte to the demands at. prices- Hie people can afford to pay.

It has been won only because of the superior service rendered by the Sellers. Our Automatic Lowering Flour Bin, for example, costs us $52,000 extra each y«*ar —-that is, $52,000 more than the best of ether types of bins would cost us. But see the service it gives. Instead of having ’to clamber up on a chair, straining and pufiing, with a heavy sack of flour to fill the bin, you merely pull the Sellers Automatic Flour Bin clown level with the work table. You fill it with absolute ease. Then a quick movement unlocks it and it slips quietly up into place. This single, long-wanted improvement ia welcomed by women everywhere as a godsend. Any physician will approve it. CABINETS (t The Best Servant in Your House” But the Automatic Lowering Flour Bin is only one of the exclusive developments which have helped win leadership for the Sellers. Altogether there are 15 impor tant betterments combined in no other cabinet. To tupply them costs us over $100,000 extra each year, hut they have won prefer ence for the Sellers in thousands of homes. Yet this cabinet of super-convenience costs you little, if any more than an ordinary Kitchen Cabinet. But come :n and see the Sellers. Judge it yourself. Come soon. S. Vaughan Furniture Co. <1
