PROCLAJM THE QUALITY Of Our Foodstuffs
It is not uncommon for our customers to say to us
over and over again, “I know I can always get the
best here” “How fresh and appetizing your whole
stock looks.” “I always come to your store for
everything that I need in the way of foodstuffs’ —
“We find that it is more economical to trade here
for we always get the best groceries much cheaper
than elsewhere.”
These are not quotations which we arc prompted
to quote by a spirit of boastfulness but just a natural
pride that we feel in our being able to satisfy.

SAFE moil ALE DAUBS
The hand of fate is always lurking
nearby ready to strike in the form of
some enemy of man. Fire, theft or
loss are the most common dangers that
exist. Any one of these can destroy
or take away valuable documents, jew

that are precious.
Perhaps the very papers that would
restore your loss—your insurance pol
icy—would be consumed in the fire,
if your home should bum.

Dip Sheep Kill Lice
Dipping is the only practical
method for ridd ng sheep of both
biting and sucking lice. Three kinds
of materials that have proved ef
fective against sheep lice are arsen
ical. coal-tar creosote, and tobacco or
nicotine dips. An arsenical dip is
the most efficient, although since it
is so poisonous great precautions
must be taken when using it. Pre
pared arsenical dips are on the mar
ket. and those adv sed by the Gov
ernment for dipping cattle for
southern fever ticks are all right for
dipping sheep for lice. Coal-tar cre
osote is also a suitable material when
used with soft water and may be used
wadm or cold; this is sold under
various trade names. Tdbacco or nic
otine has also proved fairly success
ful in controlling sheep lice. If a
dip cf this material is used, it should
not contain more than 0.05 to 0.07
per cent nicotine; a solution strong
er than 0.07 per cent may injure the
animals. One dipping, if properly
Despite the desire of European au-
tomoile ma..utactui'er to kc^p the
bus ness to themselves and regard
less of the wish of European motor
car buyers to support home indus
tries, I feel that the great value of
the American automobile at its price
w 11 break down those sentimental
bairiers and provide American man
ufacturers w : th a steadily expanding
market abroad.
This is the home-coming statement
of R. H. Grant, vice-president of the
Chevrolet Motor Company in charge
of sales, who iccently returned from
a six weeks tour of the leading busi
ness centers overseas.
“America’s position in the Euro
pean market has been made possible i
and fortified by the advanced pro- j
duction methods employed by the in
dustry on this side of the Atlantic.”
Mr. Grant pointed out. “Our manu
facturing fadiities are Vastly su
perior to those of European com
panies.
“This is true especially in the low
er priced fields where Europe has
only one manufacturer that has de
veloped quantity production methods
tc any considerable extent. And as
we know over here, volume manufac
turing has been one of the foremost
factors in permitting the industry to
offer so much automobile at so low
a price.
“By the very virtue of the speed
requ' vd to attain volume, precision
is constantly becoming more of an
autocrat in the manufacturing of
our automobiles. Parts must be
■•nachined to closer and more accurate
b'mits to make this volume possible,
and as a result of this precision we
get a finer automobile and as a re
sult of this precis'cn we get a finer
quantity production which precision
makes possible, America.i manufac
turers are able to offer the public
more automobiles per dollar than
any other in the world.”
Mr. Grant is keenly enthusiastic
over the prospects for export sales
and points to a.i increasing Euro
pean trade as an important factor
in the development of the automo
bile business generally.
“Unlike the average Amcrcan, the
typical European hasn’t yet come to
the realization that he must have
•tp automobile,” Mr. Grant observed
“However, the desire to own one has
always been there and with eeoncm’c
conditions in better shape now than
at any time since the war, the pros
pective customer elver there is in a
more advantageous position to sat-
: sfy the need.”
The widespread use of bicycles
throughout Europe proved of special
interest to Mr. Grant, as a seller of
a low-priced car. There are twenty
bicycles *n operation in Germany for
every automobile :»egistered. ten in
England and seven, in France. More
than 27,000,000 bicycles are being
operated in these countries alone.
“The vast number of bicycles now
bc,’ng used in Eu:'ope provides an ac
curate notion cf the potentialities of
the European automobile market and
seems to indicate that one of the
major sales duties of the automobile
industry abroad is to place these 27,-
000,000 bicycles riders at the wdieels
of automobiles,” Mr. Grant declared.

COLUMBIA, July 3.—A decrease
of about 7 per cent in the spring
pig erdp of 1928 from that of 1927
for the United States as a whole
and also for the Corn Belt States is
shown by the June Pig survey of the
Department of Agriculture. This de
crease is equivalent to about 4,000,-
000 head of pigs for the United
States of which ove;* 3 000,000 rep
resent the decrease for the Corn Belt
States. A decrease in the fall pig
crop of this year from that of last
year is alsc ind cated. The survey
was made in co-operation with the
Post Office Department through the
rural mail carriers.
The number of sews farrowed in
the spring c" 1928 was 7.7 per cent
smaller than in the spring of 1927
for the United States and 9 per cent
smaller fer the Corn Belt States.
