WHY YOUR FARM WORTH MORE? Because It Lies i ? V' Near Camden Because it lies near the I Good Roads, Schools, Churches, Marketing, Shipping and Shopping 1 \ Facilities made possible by Home-Owned. Stores It ii a practice among large business firms, corporations and syndicates to protect their invested capital against loss by special forms of . business insurance.' j 'I What protects your invested capital? What security have you i that your farm will be worth as much or more on the morrow? There ' should be some assurance that your land will not depreciate ,in value. J Most people say that the law of supply and demand ^regulates the j j price of a commodity. Does that appy to your>farm? Does that fix th^ price of land in this community? ! Why will you pay more per acre for land close to Camden on j good roads, near good schools and churches, near amusements and the I other things that go to make up an all 'round modern /existence? 1 j Why not buy land in some remote section at less per ?cre? Land | that may be just as productive as yours and possibly more so? Have you ever stopped to /consider that one of the contributing ! factors to the value of your land is its nearness to a live town that is I growing? Do you not also realize that this town has been built by the efforts of you and your fellow Home-Owned Merchants?and not by I any Chain Organization? ' The reason a good farming /community has a live town to go to for I trading or amusements is because that town is located in a progressive agricultural community. And one of the /reasons farm values increase I and prosperity ensues is due to the farms' nearness geographically to I this town and the interchangeability of ideas and cooperation. j The good roads, schools, churches, amusements, shipping and j shopping facilities are all factors in the value of your farm. The closer i your farm to Camden the greater its value. The bigger and better your I trading center gets to be by means of {your patronage / with HOME OWNED STORES the greater your holding values Will increase. | , You are no doubt personally interested in seeing that Camden j continues to grow and become a better and bigger town than ever. ! ( Suppose ALL of the money you spent in (Camden for (your needs | went to New York. Supoose (SOME jDAY.Camden is not as big a town | j because of your and our thoughtless buying. Suppose taxes will be doubled some day because all of the busi- I ness in Camden should be owned end controlled from the outside. } There will be no advantage in owning a farm or property in Camden. | Your children will have to pay a high tuition to go to school instead of ( ' by means of taxation. This will result in many worthy ones not being | j j able to get to school. J Suppose, that all of the money made in Camden should be , sent I elsewhere and not deposited in the local banks. This would result In quite an inconvenience should you desire a loan to finance your crops I and not be able to find a bank in (Camden. ' On the other hand, SUPPOSE?You and Me and all the rest of *us use a little more common sense, considering things from all angles and I spend our money Where it Will remain here locally. What if article* I should cost a few cents more. Is it jnot worth it when we can get credit, I when these merchants spent their money in the community, pay taxes, I contribute to worthwhile causes ? j ? 1 ill I TRADE WITH CAMDEN-OWNED STORES || Redfearn Motor Company ford products ' telephone 140 I iMi lilViil I L.
