DR. J. R. PIERCEY WRITES
Following is a letter from
Dr. J R. Fiercey, who recently
bought some very rich and pro
ductive farming land in Mc
Allen, Texas, and has moved
his family there.
McAllen, Tex. Aug. 9, 1920.
Mr. W. W. Raney, Editor
Home News, McCrory, Ark.
Dear Sir:
In accordance with your re
quest, and other McCrory
friends, to write home about
conditions in this country. I
will tell of conditions here, as
I see them, through the colums
of the Home News.
The greatest draw-back I
nnd is the fact that people
don’t work. The production
of the land here is all that is
claimed for it. Cotton av
erages from a bale to a bale
and one half per acre. They get
from 40c to $1.40 per pound.
They do not have to irrigate
for cotton. Any of my friends
wanting to buy land in the
valley, I would advise them to
come down and look over the
situation for themselves, and do
not ride an excursion train.
McAllen is a town of eight or
ten thousand people. Business
houses rent for $225.00 per
month, residences of six or
seven rooms rent for $75.00
per month.
There have been two good
rains here within two weeks.
I think there are great oppor- j
{unities here for people who
are willing to work.
If there are any of my Mc
Crory friends who want to
look over this country, I have
a car and will be glad to show
them over the “valley.”
Yours Truly.
J R. PIERCEY.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting
and lighting system and demountable rims with
33^-inch tires front and rear, for every day in
the year has no equal as a family car. Just as
popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact,
it fits the family demands in every vocation of
life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate
glass windows make it an open car in pleasant
weather, while in rainy and inclement weather
it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain
proof. It is not only comfortable, but really
cozy, and above all, economical in operation
and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits
of strength and durability.
