It. K. Slaughter of the Overland
Automobile Company of Dalian was
here last week viitmg the local
agency. He Raid the strides made
by Overland manufacturers is hard
to rope with and declare that the
car are becoming better as the
factory keep making them. "Ve
eliminate every weakness the min-
ute it is discovered he said."
Mr. Slaughter has been with the
Overland people the patt seven
years and told an Avalanche repre-
sentative that the advertising they
have done linking up with the su-
periority of Overland Automobiles
has made their sales better than was
ever expeted by the main office
men. "Any automobile that will
stand up to what they say it would
do like Overland has. merits the
attention of the millions who read
our advertisements"' he said and
ci.mtdimented the local dealer N.
K. I'avne on the effi.-un' y with
which he ha handled the business
of distributing cars in this nation.
We are glad to claim Mr. Payne
an Avalanche advertiser and are
glad to see his efforts meeting with
success.

Kays Kditor J. D. Moyer of the
Honey dr ive ( iti.eii. Id ad v. hat
he has to My on the subject:
"One of the best movement that
could be launched in this state would
he a movement to build cotton mill
am! we hope to ace the day come
in the near future when such a
move will be put on foot and re-
alized " declare Kditor J. D. Moyer
of the Honey Grove Citizen. "There
is no sense in practically the entire
crop of from three to four million
bales being sent out of the gtate
and a good part of it to Kurope to
be manufactured. There fhould be
sufficient cotton mill in Texa to
manufacture every pound of yarn
and every yard of cloth that is
needed and then if there is a sur-
plus let the other fellow have it
even then it. won It) be the better
part of the wisdom to ship the
manufactured cotton than to ship
the raw product.

The Planters and Merchants Mills will construct a chain of
cotton mills throughout the State of Texas.
Mill No. 1 will be located at New Braunfels for the manufac-
ture of "Blue Bonnet" Ginghams.
This will be the first gingham mill in the state and has the ad-
vantage of dependable water power plenty of raw cotton labor
about 30 per cent lower than the East and market for several
times the output.
Many cotton mills without the advantages of our Mill No. 1
have paid for themselves the first few years of operation.
A string of Cotton Mills in Texas Financed by the Growers
Themselves with possibly a little outside assistance will en-
rich the State the Growers and leave the profits where they be-
long with the grower of the raw material. By all means let
us have more textile mills in Texas.
