houses will do much to change
social conditions for the purpose
of creating greater markets for
their goods.
By making social conditions
better, more and better markets
will be opened.
There will be national cam-
paigns, headed by advertising, to
better tenement conditions, for
instance, on the idea that by rais-
ing living conditions and standard
buyers can be made more efficient
workers and larger spenders.
Even now we find the railroads
which have many miles of tracks
through unsettled countries, ad-
vertising the merits of the coun-
T R Kennemere and boys, of
Saddler, were in Carter Saturday
after family supplies.
R Woodman is erecting a two-
story residence for Mr. Shield 3

Mr. and Mrs. L P Jones, of
north of Sayre were visiting with
her sister Mrs. C C Lewellen

C W Gould’s auction sale Sat-
urday, with Russ Woods at the

life more attractive for young
people, home-equipping establish-
ments could at least double their

The national birth rate is now
32.1 a thousand as against a death

dities for children could increase
their business profitably.
• Business is just awakening to
the fact that new markets can be
created by bettering the condi-
tions under which we live.
All business revolves around
social life.
There must be an equilibrium
of social and industrial life, and
until our social life advances as
fast as our industrial life, business
will be inefficient.
