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-

Although he has never

active interest in the impr

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.”

He and Mrs. Oden, together With
their two children, Jerry and Judy,
are members of the A&M Metho
dist Church. T| Tf

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.

and also a decreased participa
tion of parents in helping pre
school children in their egg hunt.

ed on the excellent manner in

handled and Mrs. J. C. Miller was
commended' for her advance plan

long with Darrow Hooper; around

Darrow is former holder of the
national high school discus record
and present holder of the National
high school shot standards. He has
thrown the discus 154’ this year,
won at the Ft. Worth Reicreation

made his best throw.
He also won the shot Saturday
with a terrific 49’ 3” put. He was
second in that\ event at Ft. Worth
with the winning toss gqing 47’-
6”. Throwing the college phot for
the first year, his 49’ 3” is quite
sensational.
