BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, JUNE 19, 1929 VOL. XXXIV. B. AND 8. HAS PAID $12,000 IN CASH 111 4 MONTHS For Poultry and Eggs To the Farmers of Transylvania ^ County JUSINESS HAS GROWN STEADILY AND RAPIDLY Now Adding Cream Shipments to Business ? Worth Lots To This County Some several months ago there came to Brevard two young men by the name of Brittain. They leased a building on East Main, street, justi below the Chamber of Commerce I rooms, stocked it with feed _and seed i and announced to the citizens of i the county that the B. & B. Feed [ and Seed Company was ready to do ? business. In each and every ?ssue of The Brevard News, Transylvania j county's own paper, the B. & B. had a message to the farmers about their feed and seed. t During tne last week in January,' four and one-half months ago, the B. & B. announced through The Brevard News that they would buy all tho chickens and eggs the farm ers of the county would bring to them, and pay cash for same. In that short time the B. & B. has bought a littlo more than forty-one thousand pounds of chicken3 from the farmers and poultry raisers here, paying the sum of $10,250 for the same. Ten thousand eight hundred dozen eggs have been purchased in that time by the B. & B., for which they paid $700. These two items make a total of $12,950 in cash which the B. & B. has paid to the farmers of the county in four and one-half months. The business of the B. & B. is growing all the time ? not by spurts or through "big-show" methods, but steadily, safely, sanely, pushing ahead 'all the time. The Brittain boys, us they are favorably known throughout the county, were l eared on the farnv and know the life of the farmer. They have patience, too, which is a recognised essential in successful business. They have plowed the ground, planted the seed, hoed the plant, and waited Nature's process of maturing the plant for the day of harvest. Through these great lessons learned in the university of the agricultural field, the Brittain boys know how to work and work hard in business, with necessary patience to assure greater success and bigger business as the years go t by. . , The 1!. & B. could have paid the farmers of the county one hundred thousand dollars just as easily as thev paid the twelve thousand, if the ftSVhvPrs had had the chickens to sell. This is where the patience of the Brittains will win out, for they are confident that the farmers, now i.now that they can always have a cash market in Brevard for their poultry and eggs, will increase the flocks ten fold within a short time.. Now the B. & B., ever on the| alert for still greater service to the farmers of the county, have taken on a new line. The company is act-; ing agent for the Bil'tmore Dairies, ar.d is shipping cream ? all the cream the farmers and owners of cows will [ bring to the concern. This will mean | many more thousands of dollars to the people of Transylvania county. It will be interesting to watch the development of this concern, its growth, and the increasing amounts of money that the B. & B. will be ; paying to the farmers of the county as published from time to time. ARREST TWO MEN IN | SHOOTING AFFAIR; i i Carl Galloway and a young Mr. Owen were arrested early Wednes day morning by Sheriff Patton and his deputies, charged with shooting into the home of John Wood, on Diamond Creek, and destroying fur niture, turning over the cook stove, and other things.

CORBIN, Rosman) \ Rosman community farmers were fortunate last week in having with them Mr. Bates, a dairy specialist of the Agri. Dept. of Southern Rail! road. Mr. Bates showed from his talk that he was an expert in his line, and al! the farmers who missed hear ing his talk missed nreal treat. Mr. Bates talked for over an hour on the profits, advantages, and possibil ities of dairying in this section. He paid special tribute to the women say ing that they should be present since they were the ones in the community who did the tending to the cows and had the religion in the family. He re marked that the people could go in to the dairy business and reap the benefits that he enumerated or else they would soon have to leave tne county, stating that vhe timber would soon be gone and that no nle evev had gotten rich or ever. i a good living growing corn and selling it. Another idea ex pressed by Mr. Bates was that if the people did not care to milk and tend to^ows to raise them and sell to other people. Then he sounded the note of cooperation, saying that he would come in here and buy them in car load lots and pay from $100 to $150 each for Gurnsey or Jersey heifers before freshing. All there is to going into the dairy | business here is for a few farmers i to get a half dozen old cows, milk! and feed them, buy a community j pure bred bull, put your milk on the ! train and send it down to Asheville ! and get your check every few days. ! flagmTevent OF GREAT INTEREST Flag Day was observed in Brevard Thursday evening, with fitting exer cises held on the High school lawn at 6:30 o'clock, sponsored by the Waightstill Avery chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion.

Rev. Wal lace Hartsell made an interesting and instructive address on the flag. Selections by the municipal band were added < njoyable features on the program. The exercises were in charge of Mrs. J. M. Allison, in the absence of Mrs. E. W. Blythe, regent of the local chapter of the D. A. R.

The Clemson has just installed the sound-effect system j which has the talking picture, music I and singing. Brevard is believed to ? be the smallest town in the country having a theatre with all-talking pictures. Those who witnessed tba perform ances were delighted with the latest advance in the rapidly growing mov ing picture industry.

Brevard had made a' fight for tilt- 1930 convention, and many delegate? were so delighted at the prospect of coming to Erevard that, they voiced their choice of the nes* convention city in the language of the opening paragraph. Brevard's delegates distributed some four hundred Brevard book lets to the delegates, and issued two hundred complimentary memberships in the Brevard Country club to the newspaper men of the stat< and their wives.
