LETTER TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL
(Continued from page one )
Finally, part of the (treateel benefit
of audi a program would be the stlmulation
It would give properly owimth
of the city to lands* ape their own
grounds
Happily this proposed landscape
cosmos would not tieeessurlly stop
with the city limits, although of
course, work done at the city's expense
would necessarily do so. In
the past the Camden Garden Club has
done splendid work In the environs of
Camden towards the heautillcation of
our highways, if this work is continued,
the plan could In- extended for
miles beyond the city. Also, by a
rece?| act of the Legislature u conservation
commission was provided
for Kershaw County. The primary
object of this commission is forest
tire protection and the stimulation of
reforestation. However, for the first
few years this commission will probably
not need ull the funds provided
for this work. It would seem logical
that any surplus funds should be
spent in beautiflcation. These surplus
funds might lie used to extend
bridle paths from the city limits to
outlying places of beauty, such as (he
Lloyd Woods, the Hpringdale Hare
Course, the Indian Mound, etc.
You who are the trustees of our
hard-earned tux money may wonder
whether you are justified in spending
a large sum of this money for such a
purpose. For many of us, sufficient
answer to this would he thut "Beauty
is its own excuse for being." It woujd
be foolish, though, to think that
answer sufficient for the majority of
the tax payers. Probably the majority,
then, would want it Justified in
dollars and cents. It is submitted that
the program can be justified upon
these grounds.
In the spring thousands of people
attracted to Camden to attend our
races. At such times, It might be
said that we have gotten our Customers
In our shop. It would stand
tu renson that It would be good business
to so attractively display our
merchandise that buyers would do
business with us. If we can make
Camden so attractive to these visitors
that they will return again to Camden
and perhaps eventually buy property
here, the expense of this program
would be an Investment?a splendid
investment. The new tax revenue so
created should more than pay for the
program before many years have passed.
Looked at from another view, we
may liken Camden again as a store,
' i ?p??mmrnm?
1 nn a chain store if you like, as they.
are notoriously past-master* at mert
chaiidisfiig. Then regard our beautiileution
program uh the/ "leaders"
which these stores place iit proifiiudit <
positions to attract buyers." It Is said I
that these stores frequently sell these,
.leaders ut u loss and yet us a wholej
Kuin enormously by them. Could we
not regard' this beautlilcatlon program |
in the su|ne light and so Justify it
as " good business?"
( Hundreds of Iowiih spend large
: stints advertising to attract people.
. Camden lias the advantage over these
j towns of getting large number^ of
t people to come here without this ad*
j vertlslng. To many of us, It seems
that this advantage Is being wasted?
! that we are not capitalizing it. Is It
j not a far better plan to spend our
money for advertising through the
j creation of permanent beauty rather
i titan througli ephemeral and costly
newspaper ads? No doubt a moderate
amount of newspaper advertising
Is beneficial hut It lacks this double
benefit.
No one will dispute that the largest
contributing element in the beauty
of Camden was the foresight of those
early citizens who lalfl out the streets
and parks and who planted the now
monumental trees that border them,
many of which it Is sad to note are
already passing und not being replaced.
We should require of ourselves
this same foresight that Camdeu niuy
always be the place of beuuty It now
| Is and if possible make It an even
' more beautiful place for our children
than It is for us. We of this genera;
tlon could build no grander uud noble)
speaking monument.
| Recently this matter was discussed
at a meeting of the Rotary Club and
| the plan was endorsed without a dissenting
vote.
Respectfully yours,
Henry Savage, Jr.

MODERN GINNERY INSTALLED
II HK ??
Realizing the need for a modern and up-to-date ginnery, we have just finished the installation of the most modem
outfit to be found in this section of South Carolina.
I The Department of Agriculture, cotton mills, exporters, agricultural colleges and cotton buyers are every year deI
manding better grades of cotton and better ginning. We all know that cotton buyers are very critical about nappy and
I gin cut cotton, and neater bales. Cotton well ginned is worth much more to you than cotton poorly ginned and packed.
I We are in position to offer you a modern ginnery, expert gin crew, and to also assure you of prompt and courteous
I service.
I Your business will be appreciated and we will at all times pay you the top of the market for your cotton seed.
