"The Fussy Pill Rollers"
SINCE 1906
<j/6<-2211 Hamiin, Texas
salesman's statement was merely
an expression of opinion, not a
binding commitment.
As a general rule, the law per-
mits a seller of merchandise to
do a good deal of boasting in
matters of opinion. The reason,
in the words of Judge Learned
Hand:
"There are some kinds of talk
which no sensible man takes seri-
ously."
But the law is stricter when it
comes to matters of fact. Take
this situation:
A home owner, selling his
house assured the buyer that it
was 'in perfect condition." But
at the first rain, the buyer found
out that the house was honey-
combed with leaks. He also
found out that the problem had
existed for years, defying costly
efforts to clear it up.
Here, a court upheld the buy-
er's claim for damages. The court
said the seller's statement that
the house was "in perfect con-
dition" had been a deliberate mis-
statement of fact.
Fvcn a statemen? of opinion
may be held binding, if the buyer
has some special reason to put
his trust in that opinion.
In one case a promoter of oil
stocks, after winning the confi-
dence of an unsophisticated farm-
er. sold him some shares in an
obscure company. He did so
after expressing an opinion of
the stock's value that was enor-
mously exaggerated.
But a court later nullified the
sale. The judge said that, in view
of the confidential relationship
between the parties, the promoter
must have known his statement
of opinion would carry the
weight of a statement of fact.

Maiiers of Opinion
"This suit," the friendly sales-
man told Fred, "will wear like
iron."
About a year later, Fred
brought the suit back and asked
for a refund. He complained that
the fabric was beginning to show
signs of deterioration. When the
store turned him down, he went
to court io demand damages for
breach of contract.
"Their salesman promised me
that the suit would wear like
iron," he said. "That was a false
statement."
Nevertheless, the court rejected
Fred's claim. The court said the
Soil Surveys Can Aid Builders
In Locating Proper Building Sites
Have you ever driven over
a highway and it would be like
riding on a roller coaster?
Most of us have at one time
and wondered what caused a
new highway to be wavy and
rough instead of being smooth
and level. This condition is
caused by the type of soil
that the highway is built on.
Certain soils have shrink and
swell properties that will
move and crack the concrete
pavement of the most modern
highway. This condition can
be controlled if a certain type
of foundation is built under
the highway.
In Stonewall county, this
condition is not limited to
highways but is also found in
houses and sidewalks. All of
us have seen cracks in the
brick wall, and the sidewalk
concrete slab of a house, the
in front of the house. The
Tillman soils which are lo-
cated in and near Aspermont
will cause this condition if not
properly reinforced.
Soil surveys made by the
Soil Conservation Service
show each kind of soil on an
.aerial photograph background.
Soil surveys describe each
soil, and explain the use,
management and limitations
of each soil. From the soil
survey it is possible to locate
sites that will not have the
problem of shrink-swell. Thus,
the extra cost for a foundation
that will not crack can bo
saved and used elsewhere in
the building.
Soil surveys not only pro-
vide information concerning
shrink-swell of soils but they
also help engineers, con-
tractors, and architects select
proper sites for developing
residential business and rec-
reational areas. They can also
determine the favorable sites
for disposal waste from fac-
tories and effluent from
septic tanks. Soil surveys will
help avoid areas subject to
flooding, locate wet soil areas,
determine drainage problems,
and identify other soil
characteristics helpful in
home, business, and airport
construction.
Soil survey field sheets are
maintained in your local Soil
Conservation Service office.
The personnel will be glad to
explain the information con-
tained in the soil survey field
sheets.

Not everyone buys
Bonds for retirement.
Not anymore anyway.
Especially since the new higher interest
rates went into effect.
U.S. Savings Bonds now pay 5% in-
terest when held to matirrity of 5 years,
10 months (4% for the first year; there-
after 5.20% to maturity).
Interest like that makes Bonds a great
way to save for the extra things that
make living a little hit mor fun. Boats,
vacations, campers, a place at the lake or
in the mountains. Things you can enjoy
while you're still feeling young.
Yotf can get your savings plan started
by joining the Payroll Savings Plan where
you work or the Bond-a-Month Plan
where you hank.
Start saving now. Bond* are for more
than retiring.
