Mr. John R. Coffin Visiting Boyhood
Friends in Guilford.
A man thinks a good deal of bis
home paper when he is willing to
travel half across the continent to
pay his subscription.
That is the way Mr. John R. Cof-fin
put it. when he dropped in Friday
to shake hands with the boys in
the office and left orders for The
Patriot to be continued to his ad-dress.
Mr. Coffin is an old Guilford boy
who has "made good" In his West-ern
home, where ho has lived for a
number of years, holding ai the pres-ent,
time the very responsible posi-tion

sir all town, and has watched the
city grow to its present propor-tions.
He talks Interestingly of the
West and liis varied experiences-.
it', of which was his narrow escape
in the recent terrific cyclone which
passed in two blocks of his house.
Mr. Coffin is a regular reader of
The Patriot, and in that way has

the wonderful growth of this sec-
Lion especially of his home county
which he still loves to visit.

farmers and
Business Men
Rapid strides have been ]
made in agricultural lines '
during this generation.
£ The successful farmer of
; today must not only be a ;
good agriculturist but a i
good business man as
well. Farming has be-i
come a business and, of
! course, it is the biggest
! business in the country
t with the greatest compe-
; tition.
The man who makes a
; real success of farming
! must be as well posted in
! his line as manufacturers
and merchants must be f
in theirs. The Monthly '■
! Crop report issued by this :
Bank will prove of great ■
value to the farmer who
realizes the necessity of
; being well posted regard-ing
all crops in all parts ;
; of the country. These
; reports will be sent to you
; monthly if you desire ;
! them.
