Show CAR LOAD OF PIGS FOR FILLMORE .JOYS' AM) G1KLS' CLl J Oi 1 1LU10HF GETS Fltilli Y-FOl K FIGS 1UXK SHOWS LIVELY INTEREST W, A. Robison, cashier of the Fillmore Fill-more Commercial & Savings Bank shows a spirited interest In the welfare wel-fare of his community, and makes a strong bid for eighty-four new customers, cus-tomers, when he commissioned Oscar A. Anderson to go to Salt Lake City and buy a car load of bred sows for distribution among the boys and girls of Fillmore. His instruction were brief, laconic in fact; "Just buy 'em. Draw on me. Wire the amount.'' So eighty-four new customers are made for the Filmore Commercial & Savings Bank, for Billy will place these pigs with boys and girls and help them to make money; what more natural than that that boy or girl will remember where to bank after such a start. It's casting bread upon the waters, to be got back many fold this fall and every fall, or rather spring and fall, for pigs Is pigs, and anon more pigs. These pigs cost the Fillmore lads and their sisters only $31 a piece laid down in Fillmore no profit to the Fillmore bank, simply Interest at the usual rate when buying on tick, and all profit elminated by the firm of O. A. Anderson & Sons. This firm bought the pigs for actual cost, and charged Into the account only actual travelling expenses and feed,, for Oscar says "I buy the pigs for nothing, eighty-two of them. Soon there will be four or five hundred pigs, and out of that four or five hundred its natural to suppose I'll get the buying of say a couple of hundred." More bread cast upon the waters. Now there's two things for the Fillmore youth to think of one is a bank, and the other is whom to sell to next spring and fall. These pigs averaged 230 pounds; all are bred to standard boars, reentered, reen-tered, so that the offspring will be choice stuff, well shaped, quick to take on flesh, and of profit to the owner. We wish to say that we think well of this move. It Is fine. It Is business; busi-ness; business for the community increased welfare for the owners of those animals; business got for the bank eighty-two new customrse as sure as shooting; and business next year for the dealer. May the good work find a reception recep-tion in Delta. |
