AND PITTS COAL COMPANY
The coal business started about 20 years ago was taken
over in 1939 by W. Roy Pitts, a coal dealer since 1920. Mr.
Pitts also operates Pitts Service Station in conjunction with
his coal business, located on West Main street. Texaco pro
ducts, including tires and tubes, are sold there. Mr. Pitts em
ploys specialists in washing, polishing and lubrication.
Both the coal business and the filling station patronage
have increased with the passing of years. Mr. Pitts credits
this growth to the loyalty ai satisfied customers. In appreci
ation of this patronage, he is determined to continue render
ing the very best service possible snd selling the best quality
products at prices that are consistent with quality.

To my fr.ends in Florida, who hav*' Pla.ntiils' Attorneys,
never controlled their surplus crops, March 23, 1949. 7-3cb.
1 am tempted to say sell your grove 1 " —-
and re-in zest at the right time in the
United Fru.t Company. This concern
is now doing with bananas what you
for 30 years have failed to do with
oranges and grapefruit. It raises,
packs, sh.ps, transports and distri
butes bananas and hence can control
tne cost and price.”
Small Merchant Opportunity
I believe in small sustenance farms,
as insurance for people whose in
come is not dependent upon the
land But I cannot recommend a
small <a:m as a business. Farming,
ranching and fru.t growing is bv-
com.ng “b.g business’’ whether we
l.ke it or not. The present owners,
of small units will sell out or com
bine with larger un.ts. Agriculture
is going on a factory basis the same
as the manufacture of shoes, smrts
and bread.
Tnere always will be an oppor-
tunity ior th? small merchant who
will i.ve over <>: near his store and
open u.j bciore the big stores and
keep open later at night. He cannot'
get run ur become a country-club
member, but he can be free fr.im la
bor worries and other headaches.

C' of
the J
urdan riv*
er. The
Con ft
^ssion
came
after Jesus ahd
asked the opinions of men concern
ing himself and had then asked the
disciples their own opinion.
H.s thoughts “turning toward the
Cross,’’ Jesus then began to tell the
disciples of the things that awaited
him. In the consternation that fol
lowed, Peter, as usual, was the
spokesman. He seemingly took Jesus
aside and advised him not to talks
about sufferings and death. Having
just risen to a great height in the
Great Confession, so soon Peter be
came presumptuous. Jesus, rebuking
Peter, issued a challenging call to
the multitude to deny themselves
and share in the sacrifices he was to
make.
Tne transfiguration with only
Peter and James and John witn
Jesus, evidently came to Jesus as
he prayed, and was given him for
his own assurance and also to
strengthen the faith of the disciples.
Great Confession and Tansfigura-
tion beta pointed to the Cross that
awa.ted Jesus and soon, as the last
passage of the lesson tells us, Jesus
‘steadfastly set his face to go to
Jerusalem.’’ He was going to the
Cross. And what a blessring it would
be to a sorrowing and anxious world
if all men would turn toward the
Cross.
