Business Is F ascinating—Oden , J By BILL MEBAIHE ‘‘There is never a dull moment and there is work all the way in the most fascinating business I know of—groceries.” Such are the sentiments of Ray Oden, owner and manager of the Southside Food Market and/a civic leader of Col lege Station. _ 20 Years Experience Coming to College Station in .June, 1940, he has been in the grocery business for 20 years. He was ranch house manager of a wholesale grocery in Brady, Texas •for five years, and was in the same business in Brownwood for five years before that. Through his contacts with the retail grocers while working in Brady and Brownwood he became interested in selling directly to the consumers and started in business for himself in College Station when he became thoroughly familiar with the retailing end. Active Civic Life Taking part in College Station’s civic affairs, he is a member of the College Station Chamber of Commerce and Development As- WHITENER COMPLETE FLOOR COVERING • LINOLEUM • ASPHALT TILE • RUBBER TILE Consult us on any Floor Covering WHITENER FLOOR CO . 1901 S. College sociation, the Kiwanis Masonic Lodge, and Club. Although he has never on the school board, he active interest in the impr that are currently being Consolidated School. Praises College Statin “I am pleased with that College Station is ideye ing,” Oden said. “The excellent school system, plus the fact] that the majority of the people of Col lege are on the same economic level, is doing away with , most of the youth problems and making College Statiion a fine place to live. College Station is growing by leaps and bounds because the civic pro gram being practiced is attractive to newcomers.” ' { Oden thinks that College SUtion should solve its electric power prob lem by building its awn power plant, thus keeping its own pro fits. “By doing this, College S|tataon could afford to install more lights and become a -well-lighted community.” Active Family He and Mrs. Oden, together With their two children, Jerry and Judy, are members of the A&M Metho dist Church.

Premiums And Us We hope by careful planning to squeeze from $1200 to $1500 •annually from other advertising channels and use it in th4 pur chase of ptemiiims. That will buy a'16t of premiums at wholesale. Last week, we pointed out that the average family of four could by shopping here and saving their cash register receipts obtain approximately 27 pieces of high quality Holiday brand California pottery in a year. From our standpoint, we/face the fact that were each and every cash register receipt we issue saved and redeemed in premiums we Would give our customers from 25 to 30 starter-sets each week, each set having a retail valu4 of: $2.95. We expect to work diligently at making our premiums; most: at tractive both as to desirability and quantity given. We think you will be glad if you shop here and save your cash register receipts. ■ .! I :, I n ' |: i ; , (Limit one to a customer) We have the necessary 25c coupons.
