LETTERS TO GEORGE
(Being Excerpts From The
Private Correspondence of
Henry Hardcastle).
THE GOLDEN WEED IS
TINGED WITH TINSEL
Dear George:
When I was a boy it was a
treat to go on a warehouse floor
and see them sell tobacco. The
buyers would crowd and jostle
each other and when an extra
good pile of tobacco was reach
ed the auctioneer would stretch
himself and take sometimes five
or ten minutes before each pile
was finally sold. And I mean
there was bidding. Five or six
buyers would be bidding each
other up as fast as they could
get in their bids. In those days
the warehouse men would drive
through the country and offer
prices to the farmers for their
tobacco.
What a contrast today! Auc
tioneers spend scarcely five
seconds on a good pile of to
bacco now. The^r sell a whole
row in five minutes. And there
is scarcely more than one bid
put on a pile. To say that there
is any spirit of competition
shown by buyers today is to
honor their occasional ex
change of remarks while the
auctioneer takes a breath. . . .
Millions of pounds of tobacco
sell through the present system
of warehouse farce for 50 cents
to a dollar a hundred. Ware- j
charges and commission is de- [
ducted from these sales. . . If!
the retail price of tobacco had j
come down in proportion one
would not be so much inclined
to ponder.
Of course, if a farmer has a
good radio and enjoys such
things he may be getting part
of his tobacco money through
the elaborate radio programs
of the tobacco manufacturers.
The press is full of the high sal
aries paid their artists of the
air. In fact the broadcasting
companies are largely support
ed by the tobacco companies—
or should I say company... ^
Its a great old jack-pot now.
Broadcasting, Advertising, the
Government and the Tobacco
Farmer’s largely dependent up
on the Tobacco Companies. . .
They say they have to advertise
to make sales. The Govern
ment has to be paid their tax.
So they follow the line of least
resistance and take the farm
er’s tobacco as he hauls it in.
I belief them when they say
they cap buy tobacco for half
wjfat the y are paying now.
1# fact -it looks- Hke, they are
experimenting this year to see
if the farmers wont give it to
them entirely, which may be
come an eventuality as soon as
they work it out as to who will
pay the warehouse charges.
The Oriental trade and cred
it is shot. We admit that. They
took a great quanity of cheap
tobaco up until a few years ago.
We admit that. . . And we ad
mit that it is nobody’s business
how much the Tobacco Com
panies spent on advertising,sal- ,
aries and dividends, a few
years ago, or today. All we 1
claim is that the golden leaf
has now become tinged with |
tinsel. . . And who is going to
do what about it?
Regards to Evelyn.
Sincerely,
HENRY HARDCASTLE.

Aa Indian Dancer
I watched the dancer first with
curiosity, then fascination. Here
was release and rapture. As she ,
danced on and on to the music of
her drunken drummers, some
rhythm or religion from the night I
of time sounded on my skin and
gathered on my pulses. I could
feel as well as her the beating of
the drums. . . . Those Infinitely >
subtle movements slid Into my soul
and spoke to me of times long past,
when the rhythms of the body were
worshiped In the pantomime of Cre
ation, and David danced before the
altar of Jehovah. Somewhere In
space these spells survive, for
their delight Is deathless.—Bengal
Lancer, by F. Yeats-Brown.
Ian’s Many Famous Guests
The Lion Inn at Shrewsbury,
England, still popular with tourists,
has entertained famous persons for
more than a century. There George
IV danced before the battle of Tra
falgar and there Paganini once
played. De Qulncey spent a night
at the Lion and Disraeli was there
la his early days.
In 1838 Charles Dickens, accom
panied by ‘‘Phis,’’ was accommo
dated at the Inn and wrote to his
daughter of “the strangest little
rooms" and “how the windows
bulged out over the street as If
they were the stern windows of a
■hip.” The ballroom, designed and
decorated by the Adam brothers, Is
■till used for dancing.

Positive Proof
of J?ord Economy
- ■
City of Detroit purchases 137 new Ford cars
- 'j*"" -
Hundreds now in use prove low cost of operation
THESE 137 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
21 tradio-equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to 143,723 miles with a grand
total of 2,283,097 miles. The operating
cost of the 21 cars was 2.284 cents a mile
— less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 300 in the Police Department traveled
a total of 6,591,937 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents
a mile.
Many claims have been made on operat
ing costs, but here in the carefully kept
motor ear records of the City of Detroit is
positive proof of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that
21 Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 1/3
cents a mile and 300 Ford cars in all
branches of Detroit police work averaged
2.9 cents a mile!
Day and night, twenty-four hours a day,
these Ford cars are in operation. Few
branches of transportation demand such
grueling service. The records show that
low fuel and oil consumption is but one of
the Ford’s many economies. Ford ma
terials, simplicity of design and accuracy
in manufacturingprovideunusual strength,
stamina and freedom from replacements
and repairs.
The individual car buyer as well as the
purchasing department of a city or a busi
ness cannot afford to ignore the proved
economy of the Ford car.
