If South Carolina hud auddeiily du/ overctl

agricultural lands, there would no.
doubt lx- a gold rush to South Carolina
quite equal to the grcut gold
rush of ' ID to California.
Vet a really more important gold
mine has Ix-en discovered, and there
is no gold tush. The work of the
South Carolina Research ( ommission
is of more than equal importance to
the discover ,v of gold throughout the
state. Hy painstaking investigation
it has developed the fart that there
iu. a high iodine content in the soil
of South < arolina; that this iodine
is taken up, qnd become* a part of
the food products produced from the
South ( arolina land, so that South

' n. ami of Florida, ('alA'o-ni.i and
"then -ta*. - advertising their ?bniate
and residential advantages, en eourag-ev
the opinion that a campaign
or the part of the state of South Oaroi
na to advertise the iodine content
cf its food products, when properly
conducted, is assured of success. The
result of the campaign, so far as
h
" " "
out-of-state territory is concerned,
will l>o that of helpfulness, the bringuiK
<?f information which will improve
health condition# in the goitrous
region#. Within the #tate, the
<artt|mign will l?e one of hope, encouragement,
and the development of
co-ordinatiVe effort throughout the
late, toward the end not only of
private advantage, but of public progress,
and ti?e salvation of the stat-j
j'.s a whole from the sad financial
..ml agricultural condition# under
which it has in*en suffering.
Such a campaign, therefore, may
look for hearty sympathy on the
part of publishers within the state,
and it: a large degree also on thd
part of publisher# without the state#
e penally on the part of those who
aie particularly interested in the
problem of public health.
The bill for advertising the food
product* of South Carolina is entilled
"A Hill to Provide for the Rehubilitaiton
of Agriculture in South
Carolina, hy Advertising tho Iodine
Co rt tent of Food Products Crown in
the State, and to Kncourage the Pro-J
duct ion and Facilitate the Marketing
of Such Product?." This pretentious
title presents very properly the ultimate
purpose of the bill, which
through the means of advertising
propose* to capitalize the great seientit
ic fa< t of the high iodine content
of South Carolina food products, us
the advertising will be based upon a
great scientific fact, already well
demonstrated?a fuet of enormous
importance to the world at large, as
will us of vast economic importance
to the people of South Carolina.
It would seem reasonable to believe
that giving publicity to this
important scientific fact would not
?" ll>' fail
to accomplish its purpose#, ?)ways
assuming that the advertising
i4 intelligently and truthfully prepared
and diatributed.
South Carolina cannot afford to
have the world in ignorance of the
great scientific fact of the high iodine
content of her vegetables and
other food products. The world canrot
afford to be without the information,
but it is up to South Carolina
to distribute this information in a
way to reach the masses, and to build
the market foi* the South Carolinagrown
food products, as well as to
develop their manufacture and mer(haudising
and the proper grading
and marketing in their fresh state.
This bi)J, if passed, will certainly
result in bringing into the state millions
of dollars for investment in
canning and dehydrating plants;
hundreds of experienced, capable
canners and dehydrators, an well as
men experienced in merchandising
such products. The co-operation of
existing trucking associations will be
the first to benefit by the market*
ing, affording higher prices fyr the
products of their members. The expansion
of these associations may be
expected us one of the benefits to
accrue from the advertising campaign.
The development of a vast
ca'nniug industry would be another
and very important factor in the results
expectedl to accrue.
No step could be taken by the
South Carolina legislature which^
would more highly evidence the intelligent
grasp of the present economic
problems of the state, as well
as of the vast opportunity arising
from the fresh information developed
by South Carolina's Research Commission.

Low charges for distribution of the new Ford I
save you at least $5? to f75 in addition, to I
the many savings in making the car 4 |
THESE are days when every dollar counts. The
period of reckless spending is over. People are
going hack to the good old-fashioned principles of
thrift and economy. Value is again being carefully
considered.
"
Nowhere is this more important than in the selection
of an automobile. For the purchase of a car
represents a considerable investment. It should not
be decided on hurriedly, but only after analyzing
every important factor that concerns cost, value and
performance. The time to do this is before buying?
not afterward when it is too late.
t
On TIIE basis of cost, performance and the actual
comparative worth of every part, the new Ford is a
I value far above the price you pay. It is made of better
j materials and with greater care and accuracy because
of the recognized efficiency and economy of Ford
manufacturing methods.
The value of these methods is known and underI
stood by millions of people. It is not generally realized.
however, that thoe same principles of efficiency
and economy arc applied also to every step in the distribution
of the foi*d car. The low cost of selling,
financing time payment*-, etc.. mean* a direct saving
l<> miii of at lc ') I (i >7.1 in addition to the money
by ford cc ; < hi making the car. Here arc
three reason* \!?\ r' ! - n.
(!) 'be ro it tli.eev does business oil a smaller
m.u"?!i ol j -fit bo. of tlic greater number of
cars lie sells. His discount or commission is the low- I
est of any automobile dealer. The difference in your |
favor, ranging from 25% to nearly 50%, comes right I
off the price you pay for the car. I |
(2) The Ford charges for financing are low.
(3) No expensive extra equipment is needed when you
buy a Ford. Tlie car leaves the factory ready for use.
The f.o.b. price includes a Triplex sliatter-proof glass
windshield and an extra stccl-spoke wheel, in addition j
to four Iloudaille double-acting shock absorbers and
fully enclosed four-wheel brakes. Any accessories you ]
may wish for your individual taste are sold considerably I
below the usual prices. None of these charges for sell- j
ing, financing or accessories is marked up or increased
to cover a high trade-in allowance on a used car. j
Get all the facts, therefore, before you buy and |
figure out just what you are getting for your auto- I j
mobile dollars. Go beyond the f.o.b. price and find |
out how much more you pay the dealer than I
the dealer pays at the factory. Analyze the used-car
allowance. Compare all charges?item for item? jf
value for value. I
>V 11 EN you do this you will have a new appreciation
of what the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers |i
arc doing to keep down the cost of Ford ears. You I
w II also know why it is possible to put so much real
*aU?c into the not* Ford.and still retain the low price.
? be money on pay goes for value in the car. It is not
wasted in twees-ive costs in manufacturing or selling.
