IT DOES NOT PAY
TOllANGTOBACCO
AFTFR HANDING
According to Harry G. Silver,
county agent Will Cook of the
Shutin community has made one
decision on handling burley to
baceo. Will worked some of hi
tobacco when it was in too high
case to pack on the basket; so he
placed it on sticks and bungUt
back on the tier poles to dry out.
He reported it dried out fine; in
fact, so fine that he never did
get it in shape to pack oh a bas
ket. Wthen the tobacco was plac
ed on the baskets the center of
the hands of tobacco were so
dry they crumbled and a big loss
was experienced. Will said he
never intended to try that system
again, '

i INVITATIONS TO DO
BUSINESS
A merchant adlvertises in
newsnaoer that he will sell cer
tain described models of televi
sions at a stipulated price. A
customer visits the merchant's
place of business on the date the
newspaper is pubVished and dis
covers that the merchant has sev
eral of these televisions in stock.
The merchant is asking a price
far in excess of the advertised
price. May the customer force
the merchant to sell at the adver
tised price or answer in damages
for breach of contract?
No. Although the merchant in
refusing to sell at the advertised
price may not be following a poli
cy that builds good will for his
hiMiinesa. he is actinir within his
legal rights.
Advertisements in newspapers
and trade circulars are not nor
mally treated as offers. No con
tract is formed by the statement
of an intending purchaser that he
will take a specified quan
tity of merchandise at
the advertised price. The ad
vertisements are simply invita
tions to all persons who may read
them that the advertiser is ready
to receive offers for the merchan
dise at the advertised price. The
dealer may accept or refuse the
offers.

The best Christmas present (or
you and your loved ones: Drive
safely over the holidays-and every
other day, too,' .
, About 110 million gallons of
anti-free solutions are sold annu
ally to protect America's 63 million
auto, trucks, buses from winter
freexeup.
'' A special ease study by the Na
tional Safety Council last Christ
mas revealed that speed and drink

yOWNnOLIEv:,
I Experts reported recently that
one-fifth of all homes destroyed by
fire, during - the winter months
are burned as a result "of faulty
heating systems. That being the
case, it would be wise lor every
homeowner to think about the
causes of fires occurring in beat
ing systems.
Gas heaters should be careful
ly checked periodically, ' They
should also be used in ventilated
rooms only because they exhaust
the ogygen in the air. In addi
tion, pipes or tubing used to car
ry gas, should not he used for
hanging things, or be subject to
the. driving of nails in their vi
cinity. All stoves and furnaces should
have at least a foot and a Half
clearance on all sides from mate
rials which might catch fire. It
i rArnm mended that stoves be
placed at least "four inches above
the floor on legs, concrete Or
bricks. In edition, an insulated
metal base under the stove will
protect the floor.
Here are a few other tips:
Coal fires sometimes produce
gases and there should be venti
lation arund them, also. When
banking furnace fires for the
night, dampers should never be
complete closed. ' It is also rec
ornmended that kerosene or gas
oline never be used tr starting
eirws as is so often done in

Is a contract made when one
orders merchandise from the cat
alogue of a mail order house?
No. Catalogues containing de
scriptions of articles for sale at
the prices quoted are not offers.
Instead, the customer's order is
the offer, for which the further
act of acceptance by the merchant
is neccessary. . y '
There is" no necessary implica
tion that by the sending out of
the catalogue the mail order
house intends presently to be
bound to anyone who sends in an
order together with the price.
Here, as in the case of advertise
ments, there is merely an invi
tation for offers.
Goods displayed in show win
dows with attached prices are al
so invitations to do business.
They ask for offers which the
proposer has a right to accept or
reject as he pleases.

Yes. They are, however, the
