IT SEEMS TO ME
By Dmvey
They say that many things do
get better with age, like whiskey,
fruit chkes
and old Panama
hats, especially the one owned by
E. C. "Sandy” Smead, of Holly
wood, w ho came here Tuesday to
visit his cousins, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Z. Smith. This hat, liter
ally filled with signatures of such
men as Will Rogers, Gen. John
Pershing, Rudolph Valentino, and
insured by
other celebrities,
Lloyd’s of London for $10,(MM).
To me and the other common
people, the actual value of this
hat might be just the cost back
in the year Calvin Coolidge was
our president, but to Smead, it
has all the value there is in the
world and rightfully so. His as
sociation, through radio and his
years in Hollywood have added
the personality to this hat that
it now holds.
In talking to me Tuesday, Mr.
Smead said that he was to have
had a bid from Bob Ripley, the
very day he died, of $20,000, to
be "turned down" w hen he heard
over the radio that Ripley the
moment before, had dropped dead
ittaek
hat
$2.50
displayed in a plastic case, un
der a sign "$10,000 Hat,” insured
by Lloyds of London.
The case of this hat proved to
me conclusively that any of us
if we only will, may have wealth
of this size or more, if we could
only have the foresight and the
willingness to push our idea. This
example should be inspiration to
all youth of today.
There seems to be some ques
tion in the minds of many of this
area about the actual value of
the forthcoming "Lily Blossom
Time,” which a committee is la
boring to make the best ever.
Perhaps it nil I not sell many
bulbs directly, but the indirect
effect cannot be measured. This
is the way 1 look at this situation
from where I sit—
With tourists, and there should
bo many on July 4, viewing the
beauty of the lily, a desire will
result, naturally, to have one for
the home of the individual. If
properly exploited, this campaign
should be much further-reaching
than one mortal can figure im
mediately.
Some growers figure that visit
ing this festival will cause any
number to want to come here to
raise lilies, thus flooding the mar-
ket, like it was a couple of years
ago. Such, if the individual per-
son, unit think it through, is far
from the truth.
I have visited many fairs in
my lifetime. I have seen many
displays, but not once have I
been so excited that I wished to
rush into that type of business.
I love to look at new machinery
but certainly I have had no
particular desire to manufacture
machinery.
If this community will but re
alize it, this is our best oppor
tunity to make the world con
scious of Brookings and its many
floral products. The first Pendle
ton Roundup never amounted to
too much, but look at it today
people all over the world know
what it means.
This community should, if for
no other reason than civic pi ide,
