Penny Brothers
To Auction Land
In Belle Meade
J. C. Penny, one of the famous
Penny Brothers, the world's original
twin auctioneers, arrived here with
his family last week to spend a short
time. Soon atter his arrival, hisser
vices in fcis well known fame were
sought by a business man owning
property in Belle Meade. A con
tract was secured by Mr. Penny to
sell some business lots and residen
tial lots located in the heart of Belie
Meade, adjoining Waynesville's great
Country Club and Golf Course. The
Waynesville Country Club is a rock
structure Overlooking an eighteen-hole
golf course in perfect condition.
The hills and scenery surrouding
this golf course together with its
high altitude and cool breezes makes
it an ideal place for investors and
home seekers to live. With the high
altitude and gradual growth of
Waynesville, together with its payroll
and visitors, winding drives and nat
ural surroundings, and its friendly
atmosphere of the people that live in
this city where nobody feels rich and
nobody feels poor certainly makes it
a location that should appeal to the
most exacting," says Mr. Penny, the
man who has sold land in every state

stration Group In County
Hear Management
Specialist
A meeting of the Unit Test Demon
stration Farmers for Haywood coun
ty was held at the Central Elemen
tary school building, July 12, to hear
a discussion of the farm record sum
maries as kept in 1937. Thirty fann
ers attended.
A. J. McCracken, president of the
asociation of demonstration farmers,
presided, and introduced J. F. Cris
well, farm management specialist
from State College, who went into
a discussion of the individual farm
summaries which were taken from
the 1937 farm record books. Mr.
Criswell pointed out that in some in
stances the record would not show as
much net income for 1937 as for 1936
because of the general lower prices
for farm commodities.
The summaries covered 61 active
Unit Test Demonstration Farms in
Haywood county. Each farm had a
separate summary. On each sepa
rate summary were figures taken
from the individual farm record. On
this same summary were listed fig
ures from the average of the 16 high
farms, the average of the 16 low
farms, and the average of 61 farms.
Also the 1936 and 1937 figures for
each farm. With these figures each
person can compare his farm with the
average and with the previous year.
No name appeared on the sheets and
each individual record is the property
of the Unit Test Demnostration Farm
er and is treated confidentially.
