SECTIONB Consolidation of Tlie Belleville Telescope and Republic County Seven Other Kepublic County Newspapers BELLEVILLE, REPUBLIC COUNTY, KANSAS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1929 RELATES IMPRESSIONS ON TOUR OF THE EAST Tudor J. Charles, Just Returned From Tour With Group of Kansas Farmers, Tells of His Eastern Trip Tudor J. Charles, prominent Republic county farmer, having just returned from a tour of the East I with a group of Kansas farmers, gives below his interesting eperiences and his impressions of the tour, which was sponsored by the Capper Farm Press: Editor of The Belleville Telescope: I have been asked to write a letter covering my travels and giving my impressions of the East and sections of the country visited. One of the first things that I noticed was that my change came back to me in nickles, dimes, quarters and dollar bills, not a fifty cent piece nor a silver dollar east of Kansas City. After reaching our first visit was the Board of Trade, very much the same as it appeared some thirty-five years ago, when it was my privilege to visit these apparentely much excited pits, but evidently these men are cool, shrewd, hard headed business men, capable of putting across successful deals.

Our next visit was the International Harvester company, where we were served a most satisfying luncheon, after this we spent several hours in their factories and the foundries. I was much interested in the twine plant, where hundreds of women were making the twine that we use in our harvest fiold.s. I noticed as oui' guide took a small group of us on through the implements as they wore made and assem- bkl, none of them were horse drawn, all were drawn. Kspecially were the guides interested in showing us the farm tractors. We followed the lino from whore the crank shaft was made on down the assembly until the tractor was driven out by its own power.

Our visit at the" Intornational Stock show was (inly for few hours, just long enough to give us an idea of its magnitude. The second day we wore served a luncheon by and coniiiany and ate iSwift Premium Ham. The entire aftei'ooon was in their packinu: plant. My imnrosaion of this great food" distviliiUinu' oompany is that two woi-ds will toll the why of their Bucco'is in the iiisiness world, Thrift and T'Vonomy. Tills comiiany makes its profit off of byproducts that wo throw away.

At Detroit wo visited Henry Ford's new steel plant, the marvel of the ago. also the General Motors proving sections of very rough Innd over which we were taken in their stock cars, and I am confident that these cars can climb hills and is that i)0 miles an hour fant to travel. In D(Mroit, I saw something that was not observed in any other city, as wo drove through the city, we saw great blocks of used cars for sale. These to be cars in excellent condition, there seemed to be tlunisp.nds of these automobiles. The General ElecCvic at Sehnectady, N.

would impress any one with its great magnitude. The ride from Niagara to Schnectady was made in daylight; wo saw some farms which looked much deserted, while other sections gave a much better impression, beautiful homes that denoted prosperity and thrift. Now York City with its nearly 8,000,000 peojile, and its miles and miles of narrow streets and towering walls impresses a' westerner that tb.ere is a congestion existing, not only of people, but of millions of money. I was much surprised to find the number of New York business men who were Kansas born and Kansas educated. This impressed me that w.c- were producing men and developing brains, and selling them to the great cities of the east.

the old historic city, looks smokey and probably as the New Yorkers say, "Dirty." The group of Kansas men was much impressed as we entered the Old Hall of With uncovered heads we moved pbout it, think of those Patriots of old who assembled there to lay the foundation principals of this pi-esent great government of ours. There were many other historic spots visited in this city. Among them was the navy yards, here I was impressed with what the average citizen would call extravagance upon the part of the The hundreds fightingj ships. In one great block on the Deleware river, as far as we could see, there were "destroyers." Our guide told us that were one hundred and forty, about forty of them were to be junked, while the remainder Deaths Joseph Klima Joseph Klima was born in Bohemia June 19, 1865, and passed away at his home in Munden, Dec 30, 1928, at the age of 63 yrs. 6 mos.

I wanted it out at Belleville stretched around the track at the grounds.

the beautiful city, with its monuments and its memorials, the beautiful capitol building and its surroudings, the Congressional library, the White House, all the le- gatioTis, the beautiful drive out to Arlington cemetery, with its thousands of soldier graves, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, were all impressive.

That advertising of quality attracts the eye and makes an appeal to which everyone readily responds. That people everywhere are paying more attention to quality than ever before and are reading the ads before they buy, because they know that only the best quality can stand persistent advertising. That everyone knows when they buv well advertised products they get full value for their money.

That the selling of advertised products increases sales because they ai-e bettor and the kind that will bring pennle back for more. The volume of business done reflects in the quality sold.

Always speed. It shows people you are a man of pep, even though you are an inexperienced driver. Never stop, l5)ok listen at railway crossings; it tonsumes time. Drive confidentialy; just as though there wei-e not eighteen million othfer cars in service. Always lock your brakes when skidding; it makes the job more artistic.

iMways pass cars on hills; it shows you have more power and you can turn if you meet a car at the top go into the ditch. In sloppy weather, drive close to the pedestrians; dry cleaners appre- it.

WISH FREDENHAGENS WELL The Jewell County Monitor, at Mankato, has the following to say relative to Y. B. Fredenhagen, who has just resigned as county engineer of Jewell county, to accept a similar position in Republic county: It is with regret we learn that V. B. Fredenhagen, who has been our efficient county engineer for the past several years and his estimable family are to leave us for other fields, the first of January.

Mr. Fredenhagen came to our county at a time when there was a prejudiced public against road improvements, and has only had half-hearted support from the county as a whole, but his' work will remain as a monument to his knowledge of road building. We wish for Mr. Fredenhagen and his fine family everything there is in health and prosperity in their new home. CASH AND CARRY Whether or not you lament the passing of the old corner store, the fact that the chain store idea is making tremendous progress is exposed by the statistical-minded H.

W. Ryan, of the Monroe Calculating Machine Company. Sixteen per cent of the retail business in the United States is transacted through cham stores. the'grocery business in New Yoi'k City and Philadelphia is carried on through the chain systems. In the case of grocery chain stores, there existed in 1927 eight hundercd different chains with approximately 08,000 stores.

These represent one- fifth of all the grocery stores in the United States and do one-third of the total volume of business.
