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

\ 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
