Thursday, June 2, 1955 TH^ MCHENRY PLAINDEALER .;!SE PILIMII W:>.:|ps| This picture is fine, bnt on an occasion like this, be sure to take a whole series of snapshots. Make the Most of Your Opportunities UOW do you make the most of -I your picture-taking opportunities? That's a question which might be answered in several different ways. For instance, we could say by making the best picture possible each time. But that's not what we are thinking of today --it's the idea of taking more than one picture when good snapshot situations are at hand. Let's assume that you're making pictures on baby's first birthday. There is no question as to the importance of the occasion--and it is an event guaranteed never to be repeated. It is a perfect example of a now or never picturetaking situation. It's not only a time for picture taking, but a time for tal|Lng a whole series of pictures. Shooting a series of such an occasion has t\yo purposes. First of all, it's a matter of picture insurance. If you snap a whole role of film, you just can't miss having one or more terrific shots. In addition, you can trace the whole story of what happened through your pictures. You can easily snap a series that will be a picture story. Chances are that all your pictures will be good. But, it Is equally certain that some will be better than others. Things just work out that way. After all, when we think that taking just one picture is enough on any occasion, we are actually saying that we're better than the professional photographers. All of them we've ever known always take two, when they can only use one. You know when you have a portrait made the photographer always makes several shots--and you have the proofs from which to choose the one you like best. When you see a beautiful commercial photograph in a magazine or display, you can be very 6ure that the photographer didn't shoot just once to get it. He looked at the scene from all angles and tried it from most of them. We know that in your snapshooting you aren't seeking the same sort of perfection, but you can take a cue from the commercial practices and get greater satisfaction from your own pictures. ---John Van Guilder Read The Classified Want Ads THE BUY ?

Farmers' Outlook SOYBEANS LEAD - EXPORTS FROM THE CORN BELT The sun never sets on 'the foreign markets for U.S. farm products. Round-the-world buyers this year will take American farm products valued at about 3.2 billion dollars, about 10 per cent more than last year. The tihree leading U.S. agricultural exports are cotton, wheat and flour, and tobacco. The next four most important farm exports -- soybeans, corn, lard and tallow, come from Corn Belt fields and feedJots. This ranking is based on exports during the first seven months, July-January, of this fiscal year. In this period, exports of 'these farm products were valued as follows (in millions of dollars): cotton, 413; wheat and. flour; 268; tobacco, 255; soybeans, 101; corn, 70; lard, 50; and tallow, 48. Soybeans and corn; Some of those golden soybeans you raised may go west to Japan or Formosa, east to the Netherlands or Germany, north to Canada, south to Mexico, or to any one of more than twenty otftier countries. Ex •port sales during the year ending June 30 will probably <total nearly 50 million "bushels, up 15 per' cent from a year before. ©ie oil from another 3 million bushels is finding markets in thirty foreign countries. Exports this fiscal year will equal about 15 per cent of the 1954 crop. Yellow corn from Illinois farmlands floats to markets in more than twenty different countries. Leading buyers are Great Britain, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, Belgium anid Japan. Sales for tile year ending June 30 may . be around 70 million. bushels --• ar bout % as much as last year; Lard and tallow. Lard from Corn Belt hogs find markets -to more,than 40 different countries. Leading foreign buyers are Cuba, Mexico, West Germany, Great Britain and Yugoslavia,. Exports of lard this year may reach 800 million pounds -- about . onethird more than last year and one-fifth of total production. We export about twice as much tallow as land. The price of taillow is about half that of lard, so -the dollar value is about the same. In the year ending June 30 we may export about a billion" pounds of tallow worth 70 million dollars. Tallow from ITS. beef is sold in more than fifty countries. Among the largest buyers are Japan, West Germany, Netherlands, Mexico and Italy. Cotton, wheat and tobacco. In (the mid-1920's, exports of cotton amounted to 8 to 10 million bales annually and took half of the cotton crop. Since then, government programs "to help tlhe farmer" have helped- to give the cotton markets of the world to other producers. In the year ended last June 30, exports of coitton amounted to less than 4 million bales and to less than one-fourth of the crop. Exports of cotton have increased during the past ten months, - but some decline now appears likely. Exports of wheat and wheat flour last year were equal to 219 million bushels, or about onefiftJh of .the 1953 crop. Exports so far this year are about onethird greater than last year. Most of the wheat that is exported Is moved with a subsidy. The recent subsidy rates ranged 'from 59 to 74 cents a bushel. Exports of leaf tobacco in the year enidied last June 30 amounted to 456 million pounds, or 22 percent of the previous crop. Exports of tobacco are continuing this year at about the same rate as last year. Last year we shipped more •than 100 other farm products ranging from apples (150 million bushels) to walnuts (three miPlion pounds) to virtually every country on tfhe globe. The total volume of all farm exports this year will be equal to the output of 300,000 ordinary farms, or one of every ten in the United States.

Certain words and phrases have so long and so often been used in association with Cadillac that they almost automatically call the car to mind. When the talk is of motor cars, who can hear the word "prestige" without thinking of Cadillac? It is likewise true of "distinction" ... of "luxury" ... of "pride of ownership" .. • of "satisfaction" ... of "comfort" ... of "long life and dependability" ... of "beauty" ... of "impressiveness" ... of "value"--and of dozens of other words used to denote excellence and superiority. ocabulaiy! In a sense, these are Cadillac words--and they actually sound strange when employed in any other connection. Even when used in the promotion of another automobile, they still suggest the "car of cars". Naturally, words like these can become inseparable only from a product which deserves them. In the case of Cadillac, it has taken half a century of the strictest adherence to the highest automotive standards to win this public approval. Eternal vigilance is the price of this reputation. • * * Most people, of course, realize that these wonderful words apply to Cadillac. But too many have not yet personally found out why. If you are among these--come in and see us today. We will give you the keys to a new 1955 Cadillac--and you'll know in a single hour why Cadillac has its own vocabulary. You'll know, from personal experience, that when you speak of "prestige" and "beauty" and "distinction" and "luxury" and "pride of possession" and "value"--you are speaking of the Standard of the World. We have the keys--and the car-- and a real welcome waiting for you. OVERTON CADILLAC PONTIAC Co. 400 FRONT STREET HcHENRY. ILL. PHONE 17
