Merrell, by Tom Merrell, 27 years old un- married, Son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Merrell, Booneville Rd., Bryan, Texas Comments by the artist: "Today the artist is faced with a pretty grim struggle for existence. Quantity has _ • become the god of values, not quality. If an artist can stand up against the odds of today and keep apart from all the temptation of easy jobs and popular.ideas, or the alternative of starvation, he will be doing well. The artist is interested in quality, as each work must be unique. Portraiture in the arts is extremely difficult and time consuming. There must be a common sympathy or understanding established between the sitter and the artist, for it is not, as it is often believed, only three dimensions that are demanded of a portrait, but four, and this fourth one is the pschological atmosphere of .the personality which must add -expression and character and the endless variations of mood. The technical methods and materials used by the artist can be evaluated, but this fourth dimension in a monetary sense is impossible for the artist to evaluate. This life size plaster portrait will be cast in bronze which will approximately cost $300 including the base. From past experience portraits of this size in bronze would be worth from two to three times the cost of the bronze casting. In this case the portrait would be worth approximately $900 to the artist. Considering the time modeling, casting in plaster, and the final touching up on the bronze cast, and the cost of materials, I hardl#y think that $500 is too much to charge for work that might well become timeless." a�kk ; ' 1,0.RIK ? a� # ' , y '� [..• Fs 1 -M , 1 Y r � � - r s u � ,�.. � a s � 1 � �C.�f..�* �� ♦ s,��� r _ ,gyp-^ a a §r gv . ��" w6• y Owl d N k Y" I � JI e r a +yy r r I � w t pie a.oHt�NliNCS w � r+ # lot 1 . ;1Ito ; sad WA _ ,r 9 r, i i >t ' ..

Kenagy Mrs. Ray Putnam Mrs. W. Stuart Barron Mrs. Alfred F. Chalk Mrs. Phillip B. Goode Mrs. James E. McDonell Secretary for Dr. Clark The question has been raised as to whether or not the so-called "Companion Pieces" contemplated in this project would qualify as works of art, since persons have followed the practice of tinting photographs for many years. The author's answer is that they almost certainly do thus qualify. The reasoning underlying this conclusion is too involved to be included here. It needs to be remembered, however, that for anything to qualify as a work of art it does not necessarily even have to be a painting. In this instance we have that which can best be thought of as creative action in the field of paintings. It amounts to a commercialization of select products in a field of the fine arts. The tinting of a photograph does not create a work of art unless the tinting process itself is a work of art. The tinting of a photograph of a work of art may be done in such a manner as to conserve the beauty of the thing photographed. The, conservation of the beauty of the thing photographed through the tinting process need not be done by the originator of the work of art, but should, if possible, have his approval. Approved tinted photographs of works of art are potentially marketable to persons desiring the beauty contained in the originals, at prices which they can afford to pay. The making available on the market through the proper channels of products such as this amounts to creative action in the field of painting, and is itself a work of art. 1-............... ag": Comment on the back of this Kodak Picture written by Lucy Dean (Mrs. G. B. Franklin) "G. B. F. and Jenelle - on the front lawn at the Franklin Plantation (Register, Georgia) - Pond in the Right Rear; - 1963". The reference to the pond in the rear was a subtle allusion to a story of mine, which I had to tell them, at our meeting in Boston, Mass., just before Christmas, 1954, about a sensational episode associated with a pond of ours, in our first real estate project at College Station, Texas. All of the "Old Timers" hereabouts know full well the implications of that story - when Ruth (Mrs. Ruth H. Clark) sat for a half day under the mouth of a drag fine to inhibit an action by certain persons in "authority" at the College, which appeared as one of a number of instances of skull duggery) u du Cz we have encountered in connection with the job we were attempting to do. Jul The young lady's name is Jenelle Spence, an accomplished artist (interior decorator), of Atlanta, Georgia. The author owes Jenelle a debt of gratitude which he may never be able to fully repay. "Aunt Lucy" and "Uncle George" are her relatives by adoption owing to her intimacy with Rebecca Franklin (later Mrs. Ward Morehouse), who is in fact a niece of the Franklins.

D. Douglaston, New York M y CAMPUS STUDY CLUB MINUTES lc/,_}c, (circa) Today we honor another of our life members, Mrs. F. B. Clark. Mrs. Clary was born in Ci.nainatti, Ohio - the daughter of a Methodist minister. She was educated in her native state. Prior to her marriage, she taught school in Ohio and Georgia. I was impre3s ed when she told me she taught Latin and georetry but even more so when she con- fided tbat- she had fo'-.-' T-e��rs of C-cok in college! And to thihl'> t'�u ?�.E c:r.e thl ou.g i this with her wonderful sense of humor itt zc . She is such a very modest, unassuming person that she is loathe to claim any special talents or ability. But - she does recommend her cooking. She cooks by the "rule of thumb" - a pinch of this, a little sugar, etc. No messing around with recipes for her! Knowing her reputation as a dog enthusiast, I just assumed .hat dogs were a hobby �xrith hot. She says not - instead dogs are a part of her life - a very necessary :. .part. Dachshunds were her favorites until a friend gave her a toy Manchester terrier, and now she has become interested in this breed. } ' As many of you know, Mts. Clark has been active in the Brazos Valley Kennel Club since it was organized back in 1945 - and she is still active in this organization. s, a She considers furniture refinishing her real hobby. Her house is filled with interesting antiques, most' of i; which she has refinished herself and very well too! She has some unusual pieces , ranging from an o cgency washstand, which you don't see often, to a revolving, Xt fold-top card table. Many of the pieces are signed. You should see her beautiful rosewood bc:d. It is what I would call the Sam Houston type, except that it is much prettier than Sam's bed in the governor' s mansion r in Austin. A few years ago, she specialized in Victorian sofas. And, while she doesn' t claim to collect sofas, I think 16 she has a pretty big collection. T�lere is a sofa in every room, I think, unless it is the kitchen. f< Mrs. Clark does collect old bottles and flasks and has a huge collection. Recently, she moved some of them from the big, old secretary where they had been displayed. There were nine bushels and four boxes of them - and that ,a wasn't anything like all of her bottles, by any means. She is probably as much an authority on old glass as anyone in the corlmunity. One of her favorites is a pair of 150 year old gin bottles - these are huge, square bottles of a very lovely olive green color. In my minds eye, I can see the beautiful lamps these -would make. Right now, she is interested in old, cane-seat chairs. She has about thirty of these which she has refinished and recaned, very expertly. 4� Mrs. Clark has an outstanding record of service to.Campus Study Club. She has held every office in the club, has been President twice, and is now historian. She joined the club in 1916. I think it is very fitting that we recognize and applaud such a record. Mrs. Clark, will you please stand and take a bow? Note: This material was presented by Pars. Edward Madeley at a meeting of Campus Study Club, College Station to pay tribute to Mrs. Clark as a life mersber of the club. It is deliberately informal in an attempt to give a true picture of Mrs. Clark' s personality. 205 THE MARKETING OF %.iORKS OF ART Chapter 1CSV THE I11SPIRATION OF THE R. H. C. SPECIALTY ENT_�Ri'i ISES The inspiration of the R. H. C. Specialty Enterprises is all that can be told in this chapter. The fuller intent of its purposes , and lines of procedure are given in the next chapter. As stated below it is "A develop- ment from an idea which was taking form in the glowing intellect of Ruth Haines Clark shortly before she passed away. " I hope that I shall not stand condemned for in this instance doing something to show my appreciation for the help which I have had during thirty-seven years of my life of the most dynamic and widely sympathetic person of the opposite sex with whom it has been my privilege to be associated. It is not too much to say that without the devoted loyalty and courageous companionship, ilihich she has afforded me, the things which are being attempted by me here, tiThcther groat or small, would be non--existent. The story is simple enough. As a member of a committee of the local cha-oter of the Federated Women's Club, she suggested one day that the club take the initiative in the direction of helping to find a market for products which come into being as the result of the creative action of its mo bees, or other persons desiring; to make use of them. The suggestion-was-acted on almost immediately. As a result there was set up that r,hich was labeled "The College Station Women's Exchange. " They rented quarters and.operated the "Exchange" for s eves_al months. There was not much to pay out in the Laay of over- head expenses. All of the inventory was delivered to the "Exchange" free of charge and on consignment. As a result the project stood up financially. 206 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF A2T But as was to be: expected, thu operation of the "Exchange" was something of a chore to the committee of women sponsoring it. They made no charge, of course, for their services for operating the "Exchange" , and took turns in serving as administrators , and sales ladies of the somewhat sensational business. It has to be admitted, h.owevcr, that the business venture didn't accomplish ghat was in the mind of the originator. That which actually developed could hardly be thought of as anything other than a glorified rummage sale. The impressive thing about what happened, however, was the number of telephone calls which came from per- sons who had ideas about things which they wanted offcred through the "Exchange" . How many of those would qualify as incipient works of art can never be known. Out of this experience,, however, has been developed the organi- zation which we are calling The Ruth Haines Clark Specialty Enterprises. As has boon called attention to, one of the purposes of that organization is to go to tho assistance, if it can, of artists who arc encountering financial difficulties. ControllinF, Documents If it were possible to combine the A. C. Barnes Foundation and the Martin Lowitz treatment of the problem of handling products of the fine artists , we should have a project suggestive of that which is contemplated for The R. H. C. Specialty Entcrpriscs. It might better be said that the organizational setup of The R. H. C. Specialty Entcrpri_scs is modeled after the A. C. Barnes Foundation. The Martin Lowitz activity does not seem to have been given any peculiar organizational treatment. Hence under the plan of opera- . tion for the R. H. C. Specialty Enterprises , the Martin 207 THE i'IA'1JCETI'NG OF WORKS OF LET Lowitz activity, or something analogous to it, could easily be made subordinate to thQ; R. K. C. Specialty Enterprises. It can be revealed here till-It- the organizational setup of the R. H. C. Specialty Entcrpris,.s was ;modeled after the A. C. Barnes plan of operation. It does happcn, however, that thl-; R. H. C. Spoci-lty Entc?-prises was a development from a previous organization, a going concern which had boon created for anoth:.,r purpose. The documents for the prior organization - The Kaskaskia Properties - wore actually prepared at the time and in the light of the information revealed in the series of articles which apl:eared in the Saturday E'vo._Zing Post in late March and earl-T April 1942. Both of these organizations - The Kaskaskia Proper- ties, and the R. H. C. Srecialty Ent ,rprises - made: use of a Texas law providing for the trusteeship form of organization instead of the non-stock corporation - a distinction almost without Jiff�;rencc. The Kaskaskia Properties is in f_tct so much a 1;a.rt of the R. H. C. Specialty Enterprises as y t that to understand the one we need to un.dcrstand tie other. . This can possibly best be done by first revealing the documents which forked out in the process of setting them up. They are presented on the following pages. t 2 TILE MAPJ=IIlG OI!

Sta. 5766 December 28, 1948 Mr. R. V, .1rmstrong Br-Tan, Tex a.,:): Dear Mr. .1rrmstrone: I am making note herewith of certain matters which you may need to have called to ,you:, J.r: providing me with an answer ,ega ding, the the o1an which I have followr-ld i:1 ti., , z),=,.00rs fog., the lots sold by me in Southeast College Park and in The Knoll. The deed which I have handed to you, being a transfer of Lot 1, of Block 9, in The Knoll, is in lane with my plan of transfer. You will observe., however, that T :have personally guarar_t.;ed t;hc; obli..;�. ti_o�:.. -i: t;h�At cie.d both in behalf of The Kaskaskia Proiocrties and of Iffrs. Clark. I have done this tco any ode,=ut as to my willingness to go all out i.:a these t:r_; nsfers .. I doubt, bowevcr, fiat; my signature as an irA_J*Lv _dual separ_atc from that as tru szoo for The Kaskaskia Properties really adds anything to the validity of the title. I should like to have your opinion on this. On some occasions I have b :en requcstcd to sign other papers .than those delivered to the grantees. Somio- times Mrs. Clark has even been requcsted to sign. the deeds along with me. That is to s.a-,-:, I have signed the deeds as an individual, as Trustee for The Kaskaskia Properties, and Mrs. Clark has signed separately and apart from me. Unless this sort of thing adds something to the validity of the title I should like to be relieved of these requests. Is it or is it net necessary for me to do dais? There are two reasons why I have consider er_ L unnecessary for Mrs. Clark to sign the. deeds. They are: 1. Art. 4619 of the R.C.S. of Texas states , among other things, that during coverture the common property of the husband and wife may be disposed. of by the husband alone. It would seen that this, provision of the law alone would make it unnecessary for E-Irs. Clark to sign the deeds . 21,7 THE MAIRKET Ii;G OE T.7G=iKS U_F+' AR 2. For the particular property herowith involved I have had Mrs. Clark to transfer title, to me as Trustoe for The Kaskaskia Properties. The record of this transfer is Brazos County, Texas , Deed Records Vol. 106, Page 515. It the time when that instrument was drawn up, several persons expressed surprise that I even then requested Mrs. Clark to join with me. in that transfer. I dial it with the hope that her signature on that deed of trust would make unnceessary that she be called on to sign the tr:uis-- fers of the deeds to lots in the areas. It would appear that in that deed of trust she has given me full authority -to bind the Kaskaskia Properties to any extent not alrcc d.y given in the law. If I am not correctly informed about this I need to kno.v it. There has boon some; question as to vjhc thcr or not The Kaskaskia Properties is a bona fide trust. I have studied. the law carefully, and have done everything that I can find which- is required in the lac: for the creation of trust. Z1he provisions of the lacer which seem especially to relate to the particular activities of this trust are found in :'art. ?425b-25 of the RCS. It would appear by that article that the legislature of the State of Texas took special care to authorize just what is being done -"�- by the Kaskaskia Properties. Even if that action had not boon taken by the lcgisla_ ture, my contention is that I am still wi.tl-iin my rights under the provision of the 27th legislature: which author- izes one to do business in some other name than his own. The record of my action hero in attempting to coziform to that law is the Brazos County Deed 113ecords, Vol. 108, Page 510. 41s I understand the law, if one chooses to do business under an assumed name the way to do it is as trustee for the business so named. If there is anything elae for me do to here please: lot me know. Under the Brazos County, Texas, Deed Records, V'ol. 122, Page 565, the Uublic was informed that The Kaskaskia Properties existed as a Memorial to George Rogers Clar1-. .is yet the resources have been limitod and not a great deal could be done in the clay of performance of that objective. It proposes , vihonover it can do so, to mcut head-on any threat to our institutions . Thu recent study of the Texas Election Laws, which was issued un3e_c. the; auspices of The Kaskaskia Properties, is a sample of what I hope can be done in a larger way as time passes. 218 T:rTE 1sL1RKETI�;G O .'C LK3 OF 11._,'T If the organization prospers, ay I hope it will, my intention is for it to grow into one c-hich will make its influence felt permanent!-,.-, not only in Texas, but in other parts of the country..

Dear Sir: With reference to the questions which you have raised, it is my opinion as follows: ' 1. I see no particular reasons for your executing deeds in behalf of the Kaskaskia Properties individually as well as in your capacity as trustee, except for the homestead feature which is mentioned later. I believe that the execution by you as trustee with a warranty of title would probably carry all of your individual interest in the property. 2. I further see no special reason for Mrs. Clark to execute these instruments , other than the homestead feature hereinafter mentioned, since the records indicate that all of the property in question was coL munity property; the trust instrument would, I believe, have carried the entire community interest of you and Mrs. Clark irrespec- tive as to whether she executed it or not. 3. If any of the Properties sold by the trust con- stitute your homestead or any part thereof, I do not be- lieve that a deed would be valid without the signature of Mrs . Clark. Since there seems to be no showing as to whether the properties ownc;d by the trust is ,or is not a part of your homestead, I can see why any purchaser might require the signature of both you and Mrs. Clark individually. Please understand that there might be as many different opinions on this :natter as there are lawyers who pass on your title. In the final analysis , if the purchaser requires you and Mrs. Clark to execute a deed individually before closing a trade, naturally I assume that you would comply with the requirements if you were anxious enough to make the sale. Yours very truly, RVA:bc s/ R. V. Armstrong 2 21 0 THE (MARKETING OF'.i0_'iS OF ART The above exhibits complete t1ie list - with one exception - of the important documents associated with Th©Kaskaskia Properties. The exception relates to both The Kaskaskia Properties, and to The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises , and cures a technical defect in these or- ganizations by giving to then a terTninable date. A few more things need to be done for the completion of the documents of The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises. But as far as they have been carried here they are: STATE OF TEXAS KN01'1 ALL MEN BY THESE PRESEi�I TS COUNTY OF BRAZOS That in compliance with the provisions of the 27th legislature and the laws of the State of Texas., t:re undersigned makes the following statement, to wit: Doing business in and near College Station, `texas , under the name of: TiIE RUTH HAINES CLARK SPECI=_LTY ENTERPRISES The name and former address of the person in v,,hose memory the business is created, and in whose honor the administration of the enterprises is to be conducted is Mrs. Ruth Haines Clark 305 Dexter, South College Station, Texas None other than F. B. Clark, the husband of the one whose name (now deceased) appears above, has any interest in the business except the following: Franklin DeWitt Lavrjer College Station, Texas Architect The primary activities of THE RUTH HAIFES CLARK SPECIALTY ENTERPRISES will be those of the purchase and sale of works of art, the refinishing of old furniture, the consultation on interior decoration, and other special- ties. The intention is a new departure in the identification, purchase and sale of goods and services falling i:mder the category of the fine arts. 221 THE MARKETING OF ':TORKS OF ART It is a development from an idea which was taking farm in the glowing intellect of Ruth Haines Clark shortly before she passed away. Its main interest will be that of attempting to come to the rescue of meritorious persons who are encountering difficulties , financial and otherwise, in their efforts to make a livelihood from their own handiwork in the field of the fine arts . For the time being the judgment of Franklin D. Lawyer, the architect of the project, will be final regarding meritorious cases. The economics of the project is that of attempting to capture some of the ultimate earnings of undiscovered artists of exceptional ability and make them available for the stimulation of serious interest in genuine artis- tic endeavor. If successful the :aome museum, flanking the log house in College Park, will serve as a point of contact with. the public. Persons in doubt may here find the answer to the question as to what is good art, and thus reassure themselves in making purchases.

Chestor Jones, Deputy a THE i':iL1RKETING OF NORKS OF ART One or two further comments are necessary regarding the nature of the organizations which have been set up under these documents. That which has been done is to take the law allowing persons to enter business under an assumed name and supple- ment it by adding that which amounts to a purpose clause for a corporation. This modification makes it necessary that the document be recorded in the deed records , in addition to the records of persons doing business under an assumed name. For the Kaskaskia Properties two other things have been done, in addition to the correction of the technical defects which cxisted in both organizations. One has been to set apart certain property for the special attention of The Kaskaskia Properties. Furthcrmore that property which has been set apart for The Iaskaskia Properties , along with any other to be acquired in the name of that organization in the future, is to be made use of in working out a memorial to George Rogers Clark. The kind of memorial anticipated was and is to make use; of funds available to that organization to meet head on any threat to our institutions. Much work has been done along this line, too much to recount here. Them still remains to be done for The Ruth Haines Clark Spcialty Enterprises the job of setting out for the records the particular proport;y set apart for the use of that organization. It will consist mainly of the lot in College, Park on which the log houso is located, and of a contemplated structure which is to serve as tangible evidence of both a memorial to the late Ruth Haines Clark and of George Rogors Clark. THE MARKETING OF V'101=3 OF ART There seems no particular reason why -t,hcse organi-- zations should be considered anything othu_r than that which they are assumed to be. But under a real test in court they might actually be called de facto corporations. In effect this sort of corporation might be thought of as analogous to the modern woman - corporations purol and simply - without impediments. That is to say, wo are in effect attempting to have our business organi- zations , or personalities , so to speak, keep up :with the fashions. Along this line The R.H.C. Specialty -Enterprises , if it comes fully into performance as is now in contem- plation, it will serve as a sort of controlling agency of any one of a number of activities which fall into the scope of its expressed purposes. To this end a document has already been worked out, and received the; approval of our attorney, as ontirely within its legal rights. It should be noted, how(.vcr, that one or two attorneys stalled a little in helping draw up the document. xs appears on its face, it relates to a project which has been taken notice of in our effort to fit the operation of The R.H.C. Specialty En'terpriscs into the business world along the line set out in the original controlling document. The following is a plan of operation which was made use of for four months, but for a reason which will be explained later has been abandoned for the purposes originally intended: 220 THE MARKETING OF ;ORKS OF ART STATE OF TEXAS KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS COUNTY OF BRAZOS That in compliance with the provisions of the 57th legislature and the laws of the State of Texas, the under- signed makes the following statement and agreement, to vit: Doing business in and near College Station, Texas , and other parts of the State of Texas , and elsewhere , under the name of THE A. AND M. DONUT SHOP. The names and addresses of the persons for whom the business is conducted are: Raymond K. Smith, 2304 Roosevelt, Bryan, Texas J. H. Becker, Route 1, Box 299,�Bryan, Texas The RHC Specialty Enterprises, .r . B. Clark, Proprietor, Trustee and Owner, absentee owner of the Shop, no other has any interest in the business. The ownership of the Shop as such here means that the F. B. Clark, acting in behalf of The RHC Specialty Enterprises has under foreclosure proceedings taken over some of the assets of that which was formerly known as The Amnut Shop, and turned over to Messrs. Smith and Becker the operation of the business there carried on with additions and subtractions. That is to say The A. and M. Donut Shop is an enterprise separate and apart from The RHC Specialty Enterprises awned and operated by the said Raymond K. Smith, and J. H. Becker under a contract with F. B. Clark, acting as proprietor and Trustee of The RHC Specialty Enterprises. In accordance with the terms of this agreement, said J. H. Becker will become the active manager and operator of The A. and M. Donut Shop. In this capacity, he will purchase and pay for supplies and minor equip- ment, hire and dispense with employees, look after the premises, pay all current. utility bills , etc. For doing this said J. H. Becker is to be allowed up to and including fifty (50) percent of the net gains, above overhead and costs. Among the overhead costs will be included all current expenses, such-._as but not limited to rent, insurance (fire and theft) , hired help (not to exceed 25010 of gross sales) , interest and depreciation on the capital values of the equipment (according to customary practices) and taxes. 2 r/ T.E -HAT KETING 02 t-;ORK:' Or 11RT If during any .particular month the net gains are less than $200.00, this amount will b�: allowc;d to said J. H. Becker as a minimum salary for operation of the business. But the said minimum is not to be considered among the overhead costs during periods when the.; net income above other over head costs is substantially above thc minimum q'200.00 The othc;r fifty per cent after the said ovoncc,ad costs will be divided two ways , to wit: 10/ to .Raynior_d K. Smith and 40 ' to The RTC Specialty Enterprises , V. B. Clark, Proprietor. Said 100 of the net gains is allowed to the said Raymond K. Smith for taking over the general supervision of the business. Among his duties will be that of assuring that at all times someone will be in active operation of the said Donut Shop in case of incapacity for a.ny reason of the saidJ. H. Becker to be on hand. That of countersigning all checks drawn b� the said J. H. Becker against any account set up in any bank in the name of The A. and M. Donut Shop. That of depositing to the credit of The RHC Specialty Enterprises, a special account in the City National Bank, of Bryan, Texas , any amount of nor_ey which should be credited to that account, and keeping a record th. reof, and that of having the books of The A. and 111. Donut Shop audited at least trice a year by a competent accountant whose interest is separate and apart from that of the Donut Shop. It has been ascertained that at this time the equipment located in the premiscs where the Donut Shop is now located and operated, namely at thu North Gate, College Station, Texas , is as follows : 1.

Specialty Enterprises and its concomitants , as far as thcy have bccn carried. Several additional statements need to be made, however, to show the full import of the ultimate ob- j cctives of this combination and cross currents of human relationships. They are (1) The adaptability of the organizational setup to the original. objective, (2) The simplified nature of the accounting procodurc of the head organization, (3) The rc--enforcement here provided for the objective of The .Kaskaskia Properties. With regard to the first of these - the, dcvelopmcnt from an idea which was taking form in the ";lowing intellect of Mrs. Ruth H. Clark shortly before she passed away" , as the organization grows the; hopo is that it will take on an increasing number of worthy activities which arc meritorious in their inception. ale have here that which amounts to a new departure in the purchase and sale of goods and services belonging under the heading of the fine arts. As was mentioned in Chanter IX of this study, we are now wrestling with the perploxitics of one of these, projects with the outcome still in the balance. The need of the simplification of the accounting methods for the head organization is readily apparent from the way this business project has bc;en handlod up until this time. Reference is , of course, to The A. and M. Donut Shop. The circumstances surrounding The A. and M. Donut Shop were told in Chapter IX of this study. A full set of books were kept by a Certified Public Accountant during the first four months of the operation 230 THE MARMETING OF JO'RKS OF ART of the Donut Shop. It should be adde.;d here that the controlling docu- ment, shown above, was not actually recorded, so as better to handle; the affairs of -Lhc business if foulid. bast to close it out for any reason... At thc; end of the four months period of oiler Itioll the accol-uitant turned the books over to us wit:) the; following summaries : J. H.

Interest on unpaid balances will be duo each six months. One of the 0500 notes was endorsed over to Pray Smith for his interest in the Donut Shop, Smith in turn indorsed this note back to us as a down payment of a $1, 500 lot in The Knoll. We submit that values such as thoso represcnted in the above tabulations arc not well adapted to double entry bookkeeping. It is true that all bookkeeping values are to some extent only instantaneous. The phenomenon of change exists at all times, and a balance sheet is supposod to represent values as thoy existed at a parti- cular time. But the: values presented in these figures embody in thcrosolves the feeling of change. It amounts to the presentation in accounting of the: artistic con- cept of motion - or to be more picturesque - that which artists speak of as dynamic symmutry. What then can be said of the probability of success of an effort such as this, one which, if it comes to its own will lead into (1) a complete revolution of the bread-making business, (2) A complete modification of the plan of fertilizing and growing of farm crops - that plan which is referred to as organic farming, (3) a better correlation of sugar, -carbohydrates , proteins, and fats in prepared meals so that there may be an easy solution of the proper balance between the food intake and any particular person' s digestive apparatus? The prospects may not be as bad as they look for the following reasons : 1. During the first two months of operation the Donut Shop showed a loss of something like VOO. But duri ng the next two months this loss was worked off and in the end there was a net gain of $45. That is to say 22 THE TVL�RKET ING OF ?Ol{KS OF A.;.LT that at the end of the: period it 'was showing; a net monthly gain above overhead. of more than $300. During the mid-winter the donut business is at its peak of performance. It has , therefore, been set on its way toward a successful business. 2. Besides we hold in storage the equipment for a com- plete bakery. The best way to tie that valuable equip- ment in with the enterprise as now in operation presents a challenge. But to make available bread that according to our information is fit to eat it will need to be prepared somewhere. And we have at our service two young, but well--trained and enthusiastic bakers. If these two young men prove their mettle and measure up to the opportunities which have been made possible for theta in this venture, the world belonEs to them. As stated previously when we set up The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises nothing; so tremendous as that which is here contemplated was even remotely thought of. But since I had set the thing up with this sort of thin; in mind I should have been a cad if I had not dared to undertake the very first sort of thing of the nature I was looking for that made its appearance. Very little needs to be said as to how all this ties in with the stated objective of The Kaskaskia Properties - that of meeting headon any threat to our institutions. To be sure the word institutions when used in that document related primarily to social insti- tutions. But without a healthy body of citizens none of our institutions arc safe. Breakdown of the Purposes Enough attention, we feel, has been paid already to each of the purposes of the organization here worked 233 THE M.A.IRKETIING OF VVORLIKS O:' ART out except two. They are thr; last two to be mentioned. It znal be sUnmewhat daring to say `;h_�t the economics of this rro j ect is to be that of attemptir!T to capture Ci some of the ultimate earnings of 1..inOiscovered artists of exceptional ability and Lake them available for ti_c purpose of stimulating genuine interest in serious artis- tic tic ondeavor. hat is to say some, explanation reeds to be wade ie3�c: lest it be thouf ht the t we have in mind the purchasen of works of art -with moo rely .a speculative motive in mind. There is probably no other economic good wherein the phenomenon of speculative values is more impressive. In proof of this refere back to only a few purchases made by -the late A. O. Barnes. A person who has gained a reputation for understanding good oil paintings may even create the speculative values of the painting whiciz lie purchases. Witness , for instance, the story of Soutine, in Paris. It is safe to say, therefore, as the martinets are now in operation, there is no other economic good which contains a greater speculative value. It so happens , however, that our interest here is primarily in the economic welfare of the creators of the objects of purchases which have revealed such impressive future values. We do not have in mind doing anything in particular which will forestall the oppor- tunity of- the discoverers of rare, and unnoticed objects of art which carry within themselves great value over and above what they cost originally. Our effort is that of seeing to it that if possible somehow the creators of those objects of great value be given an opportunity to share in those values. A good illustration of our point of view appears in connection with the offering of prizes for students who are registered for courses in art in colleges. 234 THE MARKETINCr OF �'iORI�S OF ART Take as an illustration an attempt which has already been made by the sponsor of The i .H.C. Specialty Lntcr- prises. During tho last semester, 0 955) wo offered th1rce prizes of $25 each .for the landscape design for the development of approximately 240 acres of land at College Station, Texas. T.he rc were thirty students in a class under Mr. Melvin Rotsch, a professor in the Department of Architecture. He divided the class into three groups of ter_ each. At the same time he divided the area to be developed into three parts. Each of the three Lrouyps of ten students competed for the first prize of 5'25 for the best design applicable to the areas to be developed divided three ways. As a result we obtained for $75 landscape plans suited to the development of those areas which would easily have cost not less than $1,500 secured by any other plan. Vie gained, if the occasion arrives when we need to make use of those designs . the difference between -the V75 and what the landscape designs would have cost if we had employed a landscape architect for the purpose. The students gained in three ways : They got a great deal more out of the course of study than they could possibly have gotten by use of imaginary projects. The prize ,inners picked up an extra $25 each, and they will have something to show which will be valuable to them the rest of their lives;-if they follow the profession of landscape architecture. Besides we have here a suggestion of what is meant in the last subdivision of the purposes of The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises, as stated in the document - "If successful, the home museum, flanking the log house in College Park, will serve as a point of contact with the public. Persons in doubt may hcre find the answer to the 235 THE MA3KETING OF WORKS OF APT question as to wAat is good art, and tAus reassure thcrosclves in making _purchases. '' There is no better answer to what is good art in connection with the development of real estate projects than that furnished by competent landscape: architects. In the instance referred to above we were given the opportunity of the choice of ten different plans, any one of which could have; been made; use of. The sGluction of that which was considered the best of the ten cor- tainly served as a rc;assurance to those of us who want the answer to the question of good art for use in _coal estate projects. By offering prizes to students, and for that mattar other groups interested in the study of the fine arts, we hope to be able to build up a file which can be used to reassure ourselves , as well as anyono else who may need our assistance , in finding the answer to the question of what is good art before making their purchases. We have here, howcver, the suggestion of another matter which will require our attention shortly - in the next chanter - that of the exploratory approach and tapping the market for .works of art. The Function of the Home Museum The function of the home museum is fairly well stated in the:: notations under tho cut. But a few things need to be added by w,ray of fuller explanation. The utility room is expected to serve, among other things , as a sort of experimental laboratory, for the testing of products before giving final endorsement to them. Take, as an illustration, the use of the; oven, and other portions of the bakery equipment , either that equipment, or othors bcttcr suited to our purposos ac- quired in exchange for what we have, could be set up 236 THE MARKETING OF 1.'O'1= OF 11RT in the utility room. Here the products would be inspected by trusted associates to assure that that which is put on the market measures up to the high standards neceasary for products of this kind. Although the second floor is set aside for the setting up of display cases of many things already in our possession, it is hoped that enough space will be left for the display of many other things of artistic interest. The third floor will be an artist' s studio. This artist' s studio will be ideal for portrait painting. Portrait painters will be invited to make use of this studio without charge, except that they will be expected to paint two portraits, one for the client and the other for the house. The one painted for the client will be expected to cater to the prejudices of the customer. The one for the house will be expected to be done as the artist feels it should be done. The portrait done for the house , will, under the agreement belong to The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises, the organization under which the memorial is being constructed. The inspiration of this plan of action is a story of the painting, by Leonardo da Vinci, of the portrait of Mona Lisa. It is said that the husband of that famous lady refused to accept and pay for the picture because he did not like the funny expression on her face. In so many words the plan of action here made use of amounts i to saying: "Flatter your client , if he wants to be flattered, as most of them will, but leave your Mona Lisas with us". Does it need to be said, furthermore, that the object here is in line with .the one which sets itself up as that of attempting to capture some of the future values of the products which result from the handiwork of fine artists? 237 THE MAIMETING OF WORKS OF ART Something should be said about the structure as a whole. Inside there is supposed to be a home elevator for use in going from the lower floor to the second floor. On the outside will be stairways for going up and down when the elevator is not in operation. In working out the design for the outside stairways the sponsor of this project was at the same time indulging a childhood fancy - that of being able to play on the roof of the house in safety - and working out a new departure in providing living areas for domestic struc- tures. It is, so-to-speak so_newhat ultramodern in that it is built in such a manner as to include the area covered by the roofs as part of the living area of the structure. It may be going- Frank Lloyd Wright one better. The Headquarters In line with the A. C. Barnes Foundation, the model on which our project is built, under the shadow of Charles Fourier' s influence, we never expect to have a boss. In the language of Barnes "we have a coj.unon respect for each and every associate. Each participant will be expected to evolve his oven personality, and his own method of doing any particular job in a way that fits into the common needs". But there has to be something in the nature of headquarters for the coordination of the efforts of those persons associated with The R.H.C. Specialty Enterprises, and the other enterprises ra"_iating from the sponsor of the activities. The building constructed as a home museum, and as a memorial to the late Ruth Haincs Clark, it is hoped, will adequately serve as headquarters likewise for re- lated projects. 238 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART Chapter XVIII XPLOR_i.TORY ACTIVITIES LOOKING FOR THE DEPZAND FOR WORKS OF ART Before the dawn of the twentieth century $35,000 was considered a fantastic price to pay for a painting. During the time of Gainsborough a painting was sold at auction for $35,000. It was the occasion of much comment. As far as we can ascertain the highest price for which any painting had been sold before the Duveen story was that paid for Jean Greuze ' s "The Young Girl and the Lamb" , which, as we have seen was said to have sold at public auction in Paris in the year 1865, for 1,000,200 francs - approximately $200,000. Duveen made a complete change in that situation. We have shown that by making a list of practically all of the paintings which he. sold for $100,000 and better. There was one exception to the minimum of $100,000. That was John Hoppner' s "Lady Louise Manners" , which was sold to Duveen, at a London Auction, for $70,250. The reason for the exception, of . course, was that this purchase marked the beginning of. the Duveen episode. The Duveen story is well told by S. 14. Bchrman' s Duveen (random House) . That which Duveen accomplished is almost exactly illustrative of what we mean by the heading; of this chapter. He made use of the exploratory approach looking for the demand for works of art. After many months study of this subject we have been unable to decide clearly what it is that gives one such great satisfaction in becoming the ouner of a. work of art - especially an oil painting, be it a landscape or a portrait. At any rate that inner feeling of satis- faction has somehow to be aroused before one can be influenced to pay a large sum for a picture. Duveen 239 THE MARKLTINC OF WORKS OF ART possessed the .faculty of doing just that among the American millionaires. As a result during the approxi- mately forty years of his merchandising activity, he revolutionized the feeling toward works of art in the United States. The Duveen approach is well illustrated by th,: following quotation from Borhman' s Duvocn: "When the twentieth century began, the American millionaires were collecting mainly Barbizons , or "Sweet French" pictures , and English "Story" pictures. They owned the original of the Rosa Bonheur prints that one can remember from the par- lors of one' s youth - pastoral scenes , 1;rith groups of morose cattle. Those pictures are now consi ,ned to the basements of the few big private houses that still exist, or the basements of Museums that no longer have the effrontery to hang them. Troyons , Zicros , Meissonicrs , Bouguereaus , Fromentins , and Henners crowded the interstice-s of the mother-of-pearl grandeur of the living rooms of the American rich. And -,-,hcir owners dickered among themselves for them. When Charles Yerkes , the Chicago traction magnate, died in 1905, Frederick Lcviis Allen says , in The Lords of Creation, "his canvas by Troyon ' Co ig from the Ma_rl�c�, had already appreciated forty thousand dollars in value since its purchase" . Duveen changed all that. He made the Barbizons practically worthless by beguiling their luckless o,�mcrs into longing to possess earlier masterpieces , which he had begun buying before.; most of the American clients had so much as hoard of the artists' names. Duveen made the names familiar, and com- pelled a reverence for them bucause he extracted such overwhelming prices for them. Of the Bar- bizon school, only Corot and Millet now have any financial rating, and that has greatly declined. A Corot that in its day brought fifty thousand dollars can be bought now for tell or fifteen thousand, and Millet is even worse off. Although the French painter Bougue:reau represented the kind of art that Duveen was eager to displace, he was flexible enough to make u:c of him in order to bring the education of the Duveen clientolc up to his level. A highly visible nude by the French master was used by Duveen as an infinitely 240 TIME MARKETING O1+ WORKS OF APT rcnowable bait to bring tho customers who suc- cessively owned it sensibly to rest in the fialds in which Duvccn specialized. The Bouguercau travelled to and from Duvccn' s, serving - as a silent emissary - to start many collections. Clients enrolled in Duvccn' s course of study would buy the Bouguercau, stare at it for some time: , got faintly tired of it, and then, as they heard of rarer and subtler and more expensive corks, grow rather ashamed of it. Thoy would send it back, and Duvocn would replace it with some- thing a little more refinod. Back and forth the Bouguercau went. Sometimes Duveen amused himself by using it for a different purpose - to cure the potential customers who had succumbed to the virus of the Ultramodern. Some collectors who had started with paintors like Picasso and Braque grow hungry for flesh and blood curves after a while, and presently found themselves with the travelling Bouguercau. Luveen sent it to thorn for a breather, and afterwards they went the way of the; group that had started with Bouguercau. " (pages 33-35) Almost an exact counterpart to tho Duveen story is that of Martin Lowitz, explained in Chaptc;r XIV. That which Duveen accomplished was to awaken the desires of the American millionaires for particular works of art. What Lowitz did was to awaken the desires among hotel owners for works of art in general. The logical conso- quence of the first carried as a foregone conclusion that the millionaires would fall for works of art of accepted merit by artists whose reputation had already been es- tablished - in the main, of course, paintings by the "O1d. Mastors". By the same token, if we may say it that way, Lowitz wus almost forced to hunt out struggling artists of ability whose reputation was in the making. These two stories , however, bring us logically to the subject to be taken up next - that of demand strata as applicable to works of art. Demand Strata as Applicable to Works of Art Once the phenomenon of demand strata is brought to one's attention it is not hard to visualize. A simple 241 THE rJ VPaETING OF WORKS OF ART illustration is apparent in the poultry market. The highest price, for inst-ince, that a young cockerel might sell for is somet.iling like $75.00. This m .y be thought of as a top price for a cr:.ickcn, much as �1, 500,000 is thought of as the top price for a� oil painting. Other specimens of the pcdigrc(:;d line of chicken woti.ld not expect to bring, so much. Something like ten or fifteen dollars a bird might be a sort of represcn'bativc price for pedigreed cockerels. In this pedigreed cate- gory, however, vre find a price range adapt. d to fancy specimens of the: poultry line of economic goods. The range of prices here, on a much lowcr scale is probably not much narro,vc.r than is the case with that which may, be thought of as the fancy line of works of art. At the bottom of the poultry business is the utility line of chickens. The top price for cockerels in this lowest stratum could 1iardly be much more than five or six dollars. The prices for specimens of poultry in the lowest stratum are almost uniform, depending mostly on weight and age. The same thing may be said for works of art falling in the lowest stratum. As we have seen, a sort of representative price here is 317. 50. But the prices do vary somewhat, depending mostly on the size of the painting. There is nothing in this lowest stratum to reflect the individuality of the artist. Now between the upper and lower strata of poultry the owners are always watching for evidences of superiority that is, the intelligent owners who understand the adapta- tion of their breeding processes to the poultry market. In rare instances they may find specimens which show evidences of belonging in the fancy bracket. Intelligent treatment of their flock would result in selecting out these superior specimens so as to bring it about if possible for them to pass up into the fancy stratum. 242 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART Prices of birds like this would naturally be somewhat higher than for the general run of the flock. But not until they qualify as belonging in the upper bracket would they expect to bring anything even approximating the price to be expected a.ftcr they have attained to the higher stratum. Similarly so for works of art. Persons wise to the situation are always watching for specimens of works of art which are superior to the common run of the lower brackets. As soon as one of these is discovered by the right person to pass judgment on such things as this , there is usually a quick transition into the fancy line of works of art. In the meantime, representatives of this in-between stratum, who have reason to suppose that they could attain to the upper stratum if once they could become recognized are not going to sell many of their paintings for any $17. 50. It is here that special attention needs to be paid to the marketing of works of art in the light of the economic concept of demand strata. But for there to be any market at all for poultry the specimens offered have to be good healthy birds. Similarly so for works of art. For there to be any real market for works of art it is necessary that the objects offered for sale qualify as reasonably good paintings. It is unquestionably true that "if you like it, who else cares?" But who wants almost everybody saying behind our backs "What under the heavens does he see in that painting to like?" There is unquestionably such a thing as good taste in the selection of anything at all that pretends to pose as a work of art. Even to qualify as belonging in the lowest stratum, prospective buyers with discretion are almost certainly going to insist that the purchases which they make conform to someone else ' s decision, whose judgment they respect, as to whether or not any particular 2Zi-3 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART `- work, of art which attracts their attention measures up to certain established standards of good taste. Sir Walter Armstrong stated what we have, in mind quite well, we feel, when he said that there are many artists who can reproduce beauty. Reproduction of beauty should at the very minimum be expected of a painting for it to qualify in the lowest stratum of works of art accepted for being offered on the market. A great artist, however, does more than re:producc: beauty. As Sir Walter said of Gainsborough, he creates beauty. It is the presence of the vivifying touch that marks the thing that is striking in a work of art. It is the e:istenee of the vivifying element in a work of art which makes it stand out as something to cause the feeling of the pride of possession on the part of its oviner- . If it has that vivifying quality don' t fool yourself, more than one person is going to agree that it is something to be proud of. Ta2ping the Market for Works of Art Vile fool that the description of the work of Joseph Duveen, and of Martin Lowitz, tells pretty well what is meant by tapping the market for works of art. Not a great deal more, therefore, needs to be said about this subject. We have left out, however, the great body of struggling artists who either cannot afford to create for 317. 50 works of art which they are proud enough to label their own work, or are unwilling to allow their personalities to be surfeited in the volume of sales characterized by the Lovritz treatment. It should be said here, however, -that the: Lovitz treatment of the problem of marketing such things has 24U- THE :�A2 _ETITTG GI' iO S'.a� GP ART its merits. It, to say the least, provides an escape from the biting pangs of hunger for certain artists who have not yet established themselves as belonging in the upper stratum - those whom we have labeled as creators of the fancy line of the pnrti.cular tyl e of economic goods. Them is one thing about the sale of their products in this lower stratum which is favorable; rather than unfavorable to the exponents of the graphic arts. Sale of their products in the lower stratum in no ..gay toads to bounce back on them adversely. Not so for- certain of the other fine arts. A singer, for instance, who has made his reputation as an entertainer in a night club, could hardly, under any conditions qualify as a member of singers in grand opera. Entertainers of this type tend to become labeled for life if they become established as functioning in any particular economic group. Paintings, on the other hand, sold in the lower bracket might serve as an opening wedge for an artist who works tediously and patiently on the products wkich result from his creative effort. Instead of leaving one of his pieces with a jeweler in payment for a watch- repair bill, he might reluctantly allow one or two to float out into the common stream. If it possesses the vivifying element which characterizes greatness in the field of graphic arts, some approci.ative collector may t' happen to see it. --When he does , and the fact becom.cs known_, no longer will that particular individual live in a garret. There is one thing uppermost regarding tapping tho market for the creative work of graphic artists. This type of oconomic good is not adapted to advertising. An artist who attempts to advertise his own paintings by the very act itself makes himself the laughing stock of the trade. Someone else, other than he himself and 24 5 THE MARKETING O ::0_.',KS OF ART his known friends arc, forced to take notice of t1ie merits of cihat he is doi_ig. The main thing to do, th;.reforc , is for somconc else - the r�;spected art critic - to be i,.,orked into thc- marketing process of works of art in such a wc;y as to give the outsiders reassurar_cc in the m.;kiiZg of t:.ici-r purchases. We have already givc1i attention to this sub- juct in Chaptor XII, and elsewhere:. In describing thG attitude of cultured persons to works of art, Sir Joshua Reynolds has the following to say. Thcro arc four classes of people ; namely-, the ignora- mus , the connoisseur, the art critic, and the creativ% artist. He adds that it is co;xparativcly easy for one to qualify as a coiuzoisseur. But to qualify as a respected art critic is something else again. That which tr:ie creative artists need more than anything else ismore connoisseurs. It takes persons like this - persons who understand enough about art as such to know their own limitations to put unqualified pretenses of art critics in their places. 246 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF .ART Chaptor XIX THE POLICING OF WORKS OF ART AT THE SOURCE No one seems to have any idea what a reasonably good painting should sell for if it has been clone: by an unknown artist. The studies thus far made have rcvcaled two strata of demand. The work done by Duveen amounts to that of tapping the market for works of well known artists whose reputation had already been established before even Duveen made his appearance. Each painting sold by Duveen was separated out from all the rest. There was no possi- bility of duplication of either the: work itself, or of any others by the same artist. The most that could be expected was and is that someone might more or less accidently uncover one: which had been hidden away some- where. Discoveries of works of art such as this, when sub- stantiated as authoritative, net handsome returns. Note the instance of the "Benois Madonna" by Lenardo da Vinci. The reason for the exceptionally .high price that will be laid for now discoveries of works of well known artists is not far to seek, Even though the painting itself may not be exceptionally beautiful, the rarity of the thing, and the addition of just one more painting by an artist no longer alive may result in a price apparently completely out of lino with any logical plan of coordination of t u price with the beauty of the object sold. In general, however, we fool that the reader will agree with us that there is usually a quality in the works of art which have sold at the highest prices which. does not exist elsewhere. 4vliethor or not there can be any �- plan of gradation of quality with the price is , howuv::r, a matter of some doubt. 247 THE MARKETING OF +70IRKS OF ART At any rate, the; pricing process of works of .rt done by living artists is a subjt.ct C;ntirely differs pit from that of arriving at a price for a piece done by an Old Master. The work done by Martian Lowitz, referred to a f c:va pages back, may be the only aggressive attempt to work at the markcting of works of art merely as such. The hotel operators who buy paintings from Nlartla Lowitz , are thinking, first and foremost, of objocts of bcautj which will decorate the interiors of their hotels. Marc pride of possession of the separate works of art taus secured is almost non-existent. As a conscquenec, price paid for one of the paintings secured from Ur.,.r.tin Lowitz , rc;presonts a sort of minimum for ihich a ;without any thought of its particular merits may sell. That is to say, there appears to be an almost insatiab1c demand for works of art mcroly as sucai at a price of around $17.500 We have, th:_reforc, thc.t :rriich may be thought of as fancy demand represented by the Dave n experience. That is, of course, the very top stratum of demand for works of art. The so-called utility dema-ad stratur, makes its appearance in connection. with the Martin Lowitz experience. Between the two is logically a great stratum of untapped demand for works of art. It is in connection with this great middle stratum of derland that the chaotic pricing of works of -art at their source is militating both against the artists and the ones who would benefit by the possession of works of creative artists. When the thought of the particular merits of any work of art comes up for considor::.tion, .jc arc forced to ask the quc;stion as to ghat is a r_-Ison-ble price to pay for a work of art as such? 248 TIDE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART Although $17. 50 may not bc; much to pay for a pL inting from the standpoint of thy. creative artist, yet even at that price the ordinary horde owner could not afford to. oval many original paintings. The problem of the adaptation of prices of works of art to those persons who really should have them for a full enjoyment of their homes has always to be considered when studying the problem of :hat is a reasonable price to pay for an acceptable painting. aaether we like it or not, unless the pricing process finds an agreeable acceptance on the part of what may be thought of as ordinary home ovrners, the solution of our problem is not at hard. The problem of what a reasonably good painting should sell for is thus in fact twofold. It needs attention from the standpoints both of the buyers and sellers. Apparent- ly up until now very little attention has bceli paid critically to either side of the question. The whole thing has been treated in a sort of hit and miss fashion that is neither complimentary to the sellers nor to the buyers. That which needs to be done , according to our opinion, is somewhat analogous to what Duvicen did for the American millionaires. ! Aggressive action needs to be taken for the purpose of acquainting ordinary home owners with what it means to make use of beautiful paintings in their homes, as well as other decorative pieces. In other words, home owners reed to be made art conscious in a manner adapted to their pocket books. Duvoen worked out his problem by setting himself up as an intermediary between an available supply of Old Masters and the American millionaires. The ovnzcrs of those paintings were reluctantly willing to part with them because of drains on their resources attributable to the: first World War. Except for the after effects of that war it is quite possible that Duvccn could not have put 249 THE MARKETING OF WOYd1_S OF ART over his project however sensational the prices were which. he obtained for the works of art. Be that as it may, he accomplished a remarkable feat in marketing works of art and set an example for a line of procedure which might be made use of on a much less ambitious plane. It is with the work of Duveen in mind that the author is suggesting an attempt to make use of that which we have labeled the Duveen approach to the marketing of works of art on the less ambitious plane. It is just this that we have in mind in suggesting exhibits of creative artists whose competency as fine artists can be vouched for. The exhibiting artists should keep in mind. the adaptation of the prices which they have set for the jobs that they do to the purchasing power of ordinary home owners. In suggesting these exhibits, the author has in mind overcoming three main obstacles which militate constantly against the sale of the products of creative pictorial artists. One of these is the depressing effect of competing for prizes in art exhibits. The very fact that one is offered a position in exhibits such as these is supposed, in itself, to qualify that person as a fine artist. The reason for saying this is not far to seek. Only the judgment of persons has been used whose qualifications are such as to leave no question as to their ability to select exhibits strictly in the category of fine arts. In the second place, the extent to which an effort such as this succeeds , it will reduce to the very mini- mum the expense to the artist of having a place of reference as an outlet for his or her artistic effort. It may become necessary at some later date for the organization sponsoring this effort to attach a nominal fee for in- clus.ion. in .that which may develop into a catalogue for the work of creative artists. Such as this, however, 250 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART cannot happen till the experiment has proved itself as a financially sound expedient. In the third place, the intention has to be to avoid anything which even approximates the commercialization of the work of the fine artists. That to be offered through such cn:hibits has to be strictly in line with the impulses and motives of the fine artists. Thus there may be provided an outlet for products which have repeat- edly shown themselves of much greater value than their costs to start with. At the same time the exhibits are hoped to be set up in such a manner as to give opportunity to obtain something as necessary to happiness as even the nourishment of ones bodies. Everything about Mr. Thomas Merrell' s work is completely applicable to what the: author is attempting to do. We have, therefore, invited him to participate intimately with our efforts. 251 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART Chapter XX QUESTIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE AUTHOR AND HIS ANSWERS TO TH111 It requires little in the way of explanation of the contents of this concluding chapter of this study of The Marketing of Works of Art. It does happen that the use of the questions developed almost spontaneously. That is to say, when they were asked, they were not asked with any thought by the ones asking them that; they would be made a part of the study. The very fact that they were asked with an apparent genuine interest in finding answers to them that made sense adds greatly to their merit here. The subject-matter contained in the questions asked was so nearly completely in line with the spirit of the study which we were making that we could not refrain from _ embodying them in the context. Our feeling is that they add a finishing touch so as to round out what we have done more effectively than could otherwise be worked out. 252 THE MAEKETING OF t%ORKS OF ART I Miss Maxine Yalovitz , a portrait painter_ of Atlanta, Georgia, January 19, 1956 1. Why don' t artists operate on the s,:.me basis as other professionals, (such as doctors and dunti.sts) with fees, salaries , etc. , established for different types of work? Answer: For the simple reason that fin(; artists do not operate that way. Their individualism prevents it. It is entirely possible for them, if they desire to do so , to organize themselves into separate groups , and under statutory law, set up terms and. conditions for licensing their members to do special kinds of work, and charge accordingly. For instance, there might be the licensed portrait painters of America, or the licensed landscape painters of A,icrica, etc. , but they would in effect return to the method of operation before the dawn of the modern era, when e_11 artists were in effect commercial artists. Incidentally the architects have already done this. As I understand it, however, they have done: it on a strictly commercial basis. 2. Why don' t more retail stores, such as department stores, and furniture stores carry original works of art for resale (exclusive stores such as Neiman-Marcus , Lord & Taylor, etc. , )? Answer: Those which have tried it have soon found that department becomes overloaded with a dead inventory. It takes a peculiar type of salesmanship to make effective the marketing of works of art by unknown artists. As a rule established stores simply do not have what it takes. Sears , Roebuck and Company tried it, but apparently with very little success. 3. Why aren' t consumers interested in purchasing originals rather than reproductions, and why are they ,willing to pay much more for an elaborate frame than the picture? _. Answer: The word consumer here is used rather loosely. It is the consumers, if you can think of an owner of a ;cork of art as a consumor, who pay the fantastically high prices for originals of the old mastors. TIly feeling is that the low income persons do not feel that they qualify for the ownership of original works of art. At !cast subconsciously they have the feeling that a really worth while original should cost more than they can afford to pay. A good looking frame, in their imagination, cat::rs 253 THE MARKETIIvG OF WORKS OF ART to their pride of possession, and gives them the feeling of possession of the real thing. 4. Hove can the individual artist make the public more art conscious? Answer: This is much more than is to be expcctcd of an individual artist. That is the reason why we have art associations, art gallaries , and all of their concomitants. 5. Can an artist successfully develop along fine art lines and at the same time pursue a commercial career? Answer: This subject is given considerable attention in my study of The Marketing of Works of Art. My conclusion is that these two kinds of human beings simply do not ru.n together. When a fine artist does a piece of commc cial work, he usually does it with his tongue in his cheek. Portrait painters whom I have known invariably paint two pictures , one for the client, and the other for their own use:. A big point is made of this in my study. 6. Can an artist borrow from masterpieces without feeling conscience-striken? Answer: I doubt that he can. Besides, I doubt that a genuine fine artist would desire to do it. Gainsbo-rough, for instance, had an almost worshipful respect for Van Dyck, but I doubt that you can find any evidence of the Van Dyck style of painting in any of Gainsborough' s paintings. '7. Since art is such a highly personal and subjective thing, how Bari any standards be set which will guide the masses of people to a bettor understanding? Answer: This subject is given much attention in my study. Idly illustration of the-way Duveen operated is most appropos. 10 Refer back to the first part of Chapter XV2t 254 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART Comments by Mr. Gillis King, 706 Park Place, Austin Texas. April 20, 1956 1. On page 42 ( rough manuscript ) you write; "Most trained architects usually qualify as competent interior decorators. " My experience is that, far from being cogni- zant of the problems of interior design, the avcra`c: and some of the best architects fail to provide plans that even allow for intelligent furniture arrangement. From the standpoint of the people who work in schools , also, the architects fail to project their minds far enough into interior use. I could elaborate on this subject at some length. I have also discussed it with Miss Coulter and she agrees with me. If you would change the word "trained" to "capable" lots of heads would roll but you would be closer to the truth. Please note that there is more than a snob distinction between the words "decorator" and "designer". An interior designer should work with the architect not only on interior architectural detail but, along with the client, plan for use and furnishing. It is from this point on that the cnscmble is to be considered as a picture. Answer: I feel especially grateful for your comment _regarding the competency of "trained" architects in the: field of interior design and interior decoration. I shall forth- with correct my language there so as to make it road "capable" instead of "trained". Certainly a capable architect should qualify in the field of interior design., and possess above the average ability in interior decoration. If not, he should recognize his own limitations, and know enough to employ competent outside counsel. 2. There is one place where I wounder if you have used the right analogy: food as a fine art. Is not the dietician the scientist and the cook for the gourmet, the artist? I do not believe he has more than the ele- mentary concern for food value; the thrill to the palatto is almost his sole concern. I expect you here to refer me to my statement that to be artistic, interior desig_Z - must be functional. Perhaps you are right, or perhaps the artist in food should prepare a scientifically correct meal that is also a gustatory delight. Answer: It may be correct that one could qualify as a fine artist as a cook without modifying the ingredients which ordi- narily go into articles offered on the menu. This kind of cook, however, almost never rises above the point of view of the commercial artist. He is not attempting to 2r5 THE MARKETING OF 'ORKS OF :iRT transport us from thk ignorant present into a more glorious future, but instead is concerned mainly in making us happy with what we have:. As I undcrstaiid it, tho dietician is called on as a scientist to pass judg- ment on the effort of the cook to make use of his dclusi.ons of grandeur in preparing meals composed of exotic ingredi- ents. The dietician passes judgment only on the qucstio_l of fitness of food. The fine artist, as a cook gives the meal the vivifying clement not characteristic of tho scientist. The artistic si_dc of anytb.ing makes its appear- ance in that which could be mistaken for mere delusions of grandeur unless they make sense. It takes the scientist to pass judgment as to wh�thcr or not th , delusions of grandeur actually make sense. If Diego Rivera had had his economics on right he could have drawn a aural for the Radio City Music Hall tiwhich would have been impressive beyond compare' He was misinformc;d scientifically in connection with what he attc;mptcd to do. His delusions of grandeur might have made scnso except for their lack of sanction of scientific economists. Similarly so for the dietician and the cook. 256 THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF 2RT Question from Dr. Robert 2. Scharf, Associate Professor of Economics at Goorgia Institute Of Technology - pril 29 j 1956 Why not cacouragc persons of woalth to purchase works of art by unknown creative .artists for Choir speculative value? History is replete with instances :ahcrc picturas have shown greater increases in value above their origi- nal costs than almost any other good. .'answer: Ther_c: seem to be three points to make in answering this question. They are: 1. .'� practice of this kind would offend the scnsibilitias of- the finc artists. The reason for this is that a finC: artist, of all persons , wants to bc; appreciated for what he or she is and can do , and not for tho commercial viluc, of their handiwork. This sort of trcatmont, tharefo2c, would amount to an attempt to commercialize the work of the fine artists - a thing which above all else the fine artists scorn. 2. It is impossible to toll in advance What specific purchases to make. There arc Luny paintings by the old masters today which can be had for prices no greater than they were sold for at the tine when they ware pro- duced. 3. The phenonenon of speculativc values of works of art tends to be associated with the very act of certain persons , with the: reputation for having an eye for supcxior works of art, making the purchases. That is to say, purchasers of works by unknown artists tend to create their own speculative values. Note the case of A, C. Barnes and Soutine. 4� 257 THE MARKE T II,G OF 1.702di 7 OF AIiT IV. Questions from Mr. Thomas r.Terrell, of Bryan, Texas a fine artist in the field of sculptu-e 1. I like the distinction made between the ignoraumus, the connoisseur, the art critic, and the creative artist. '<Uill you indicate a plan of transition from the ignora- mus to the connoisseur? Answer: Although not clearly evident on the surface, this is what I have in mind in the discussion of the: pr_icin- process of works of art at the source. What we need above all else is more connoisseurs - persons who kno-w enough about art to recognize their own limitations. It takes persons like this to put unqualified pretenses of art critics in their places. Hence the question which you ask is probably the most vital one that can be asked, in connection with the problem of marketing of ��iorks of art. The answer which. I have given to this question is contained in the exhibits which have; been suggested as illustrative of the handiwork of fine artists showing how their products would fit into the life of ordinary home owners, and how much such as these would cost. To become: a connoisseur one has first of all to discover for himself how works of art are adapted to his own happy existence. Who is better qualified to accomplish this magic feat than the fine artist himself, by making use of displays such as are contemplated in. the exhibits here suggcsted7 2. What can be done to prevent works of art by creative artists from piling up on their hands? Answer: There is , of couse, only one answer to this question that of tapping the market for what they have to offer. But such things have to be seen to be admired. Fine artists whose work has been recognized as worthy of the attention of our Creative Artists Outlet will be afforded an opportunity to display recurrently products of their handiwork in such a manner as , we hope, to tap the market for what they have to offer. 2 0 V.

That approach was discussed at length in my study, and was given a brief exposition in a recent issue of Time mag- azine —June 10, 1957. The main objection to the Lowitz approach is that it puts pressure on artists to cause them to do shoddy work. Really fine artists need to be slowed down instead of hurried up in the process of painting pictures. At the same time their products need to be put out in larger quantities and sold at lower prices. The slowing down process should take place in connection with the creation of original paintings. Then after a satisfactory job has been done for an original, the time is ripe for quantity production. The quantity production appears in connection with working out of replicas of the original. An outlet for paintings would expect to build up an inventory of the originals (if they can be had) and replicas in quantities. Enough good pictures could thus be made available to enable persons desiring them for their homes to get the job done. I have been counting the pictures hanging on the walls in my home. Taking them all into consideration there are about thirty. Then there are two elaborate murals. My house is somewhat larger than the common run of modest homes, and I have been fortunate in having had an artist to live with me for over twenty years. It is safe to say, however, that no home of any size should have fewer than a dozen good pic- tures. At our assumed price, on the average, of $25 each, these would cost $300.00 This is not too much to expect one to invest in wall' decorations, whereas at the com- paratively low price of $250 each for originals they would cost $3,000.00. Regardless of how we may feel about it, modest home owners cannot afford to pay that much for wall decorations. We find here, I think, the answer to Miss Yalovitz's question number 3, and the explanation of my answer, and also the assumption that I have found the solution of the problem of marketing works of art — especially paintings. It is not too much to assume, furthermore, that other decorative pieces - such as draperies and statuary - can be adapted to the interior decoration without costing too much. That is to say the solution to the picture problem on a low cost basis may release enough money for better sorts of other things. Thomas Merrell,an especially talented young fine artist, of Bryan,Texas, has agreed 1- to work with me in completing my study of the use of authentic replicas in the sale of select works of art, especially by living artists. This brings to a sort of final con- clusion an extended study which I have been making of the problem of marketing works of art. Mr. Merrell is serving in two ways here. One is to help with a plan of compensation for artists who work with me in the sale of paintings through our creative artist out- let. The other is that of providing reassurance that only works of exceptional merit will find a place with us. Creative activities in the field of painting is only one of a number of the products of creative artists which may find a market through our creative artist outlet. Other creative activities are especially adapted to a sort of novel plan of development of the proposed real estate project south of The South Knoll.

The main thing that is attempted here is that of giving photographic pictorial representations of certain persons whose names have been mentioned, as well as some of their friends and associates. The author has found an impromptu dinner party at a well appointed hotel, or other popular eating place, a relatively easy solution to the problem of meeting with interested persons who inight be otherwise fully occupied. Regardless of how busy one is, he does need to take time out to eat. And most persons enjoy diversionary compan- ionship at meal time. Dinner parties can easily be made to measure up to that which has been referred to as an ideal for entertainment. Those persons who have been invited have no rea- son to assume that they have been included because of anything which they have done which calls for re-payment on the part of the one giving the party. Neither are they left with the feeling that the acceptance of the invitation leaves them with an obligation to be repaid on their part. Persons of distinction who are invited to such dinner parties sometimes feel somewhat honored to be included. In this connection the author set out with the expressed intention of giving at least four of such dinner parties. Three of them materialized. One was at the magnificent Memorial Student Center, at College Station, Texas. Another was at the friendly Putnam House, in Bennington, Vermont. One -was intended for the Hotel' Governor Clinton, in New York City. And another was set for the Atlantan Hotel, in Atlanta, Georgia. As is evidenced by the accomlvanying cuts, only three of these actually were held But the experiences with the attempt at the other, in connection with the au- thor's reflections on the job that he was doing, are sufficient, he feels, for the story to be told here. In some ways that which was accomplished in New York was as helpful as could possibly have been the case if the dinner party had occurred. Among other things is the impressiveness of the great Metropolitan Museum of Art was made newly apparent. The reason for this statement will appear when the story is told. Several other things are hoped for in the working out of the details of this appendix Not the least of these is the inclusion of other studies illustrative of the pricing process of works of art at the sources. The bringing to light of other studies, similar in nature to the one provided by Mr. Thomas Merrell, of Bryan, Texas (in the context), may lay the foundation for a sort of final conclusion of how best to go about the sale of works of art - more especially paintings. Then, too, a few more things need to be added in the way of completing the story of the controlling documents for the organizations which may serve as outlets for works of creative artists. i =r Reproduced from The Bryan Eagle 10-24-5,r 01 : � 6 I 5 !t.

RUTH HAINES CLARK MEMORIAL — This structure is scheduled to be built by •. Dr. F. B. Clark in College Park as n memorial to his wife. ' . memorial Museum Planned By Clark Contract will be let soon for a three story Ruth Haines Clark Memorial Ito ;be erected in College Station by the RHO Specialty Enterprises, according to Dr. F. B. Clark. The building will occupy space on the northeast corner of a lot in College Park which has long b0en a landmark in the community because of its log house. The land was owned by Mrs. Clark. The ground floor will be used as a utility room by the RHC Enterprises, the second floor will house the late Mrs. Clark's collections and the top floor will be fitted out as an artist's studio. The log house, which is to be preserved on the site, will be cleared and furnished as a guest house. _ . Featured in the second floor museum will be the many historical flasks, bottles, trophies and other items of artistic interest assembled by Mrs. Clark, an indefatig- able collector. According to Dr. Clark, the studio will be especially designed for portrait work and may be occupied part of the time by Marie B. Haines (Mrs. F. A. Burt) of Bennington, Vt., a sister of Mrs. Clark, who formerly painted in the log house. 3 - XXX Y INSTEAD OF A DINNER PARTY IN NEW YORK CITY 12 — 28 — '56 In line with my general plan of attempting the most ambitious thing imaginable, the first thing that I did was to call up the Metropolitan Museum of Arts and ask for the manager of the Paintings Division. They said that his name was Rousseau and that he would gladly talk to me over the telephone. I explained to him that I was engaged in a bit of research dealing with the subject of The Marketing of Works of Art, and that I would appreciate an interview with him. He agreed to see me at 3 o'clock that afternoon. At the Appointed time I took a taxi out to that great center of art, and after a little delay on his part met him in his office. I found him most congenial, as is almost always the case with men who occupy positions of large importance, once you can overcome the barricades which are set up to keep out - may I say the riff-raff Y Anyway he and I talked together for the better part of a half hour. At first I asked him my sixty-four dollar question as to what painting had sold at the highest price and what price. As was expected he was unable to answer the question. But he did come pretty close to it, by saying that it probably would be found in the purchases made by Mellon in connection with the establishment of the National Gallery of Art at Washington. I informed him that Raphael's Alba Ma- donna came next at $1,166.000, and that it was in Washington. As is always the case he was curious to know the answer, Leonardo da Vinci's Benoiv Madonna, at the price of $1,500,000. The story is told in the context. It goes without saying that I was somewhat amused when he said that he had seen it in the Louvre, in Paris, and that it is a beautiful painting. As far as I can find out, that picture is still in the Hermitage,in Moscow, and that it is not a beautiful painting by anybody's standards. Thereupon I informed him that I had obtained something to show for all of the paint- ings which had come to my attention which had sold for as much as $100,000 and better, and that for some strange reason I did not appear to have any which hung in the Metroplitan Museum of Art. What I wanted him to do was to help me correct the oversighE " any. He informed me that Goya's Red Boy was in his possession. But other than that he seemed not to have any in mind. It does happen that in my study I had not indicated where the Red Boy is now located. But in answer to my question he made a statement which is highly important, and which if followed out to its logical conclusion could possibly, reveal that The Metro- politan MA$um of Arts has in its possession a larger number of originals of the Old Masters than can be found almost anywhere else. Many of these were painted by the same artists whose paintings were acquired at a later date at much higher prices. If therefore, a correction were to be made for their value in comparison with the actual costs of others of the same class more than likely his museum would make a better showing than even the National Gallery. My impression is that possibly he is correct about this. We have here a nice little problem for some student to work out the answer to. Thereupon I made him a present of a copy of my study of the Marketing of Works, of Art - an autographed copy. I explained to him that I did not consider that I had by any means finished the job, but I had arrived at the stage of attempting to obtain the reaction of respected critics bo that which I was doing. Then I said to him that if after looking at the book, he felt that it justified that much attention, I should like to have his help in obtaining the participation of cer- tain of the critics as my guests at a dinner party to be held the next night at the Governor Clinton Hotel. I explained further that he knew full well that invitations from me directly would not be appreciated, and I should like for him to do the inviting. He reacted cordially to this suggestion, so I said further that I had thought that about a half dozen of these, including, Mr. Rousseau, himself, would be about the correct number to invite. We agreed that several of the fine arts should be represented at such a party. He mentioned the names of five persons whom he would include in such a group. They were: Paintings Dramatics Literature Alfred Frankfurter Brooks Atkinson Ward Morehouse Alfred Barr Virgil Thomson Then I asked him about including the wives. He thought best not to do this. But I informed him that I had the eminent economist Dr. W. I. King on my list, since he and I had been closely associated in another line of research. I wanted to invite Dr. and Mrs. King, as sort of special guests of mire. If they accepted, naturally I should like to have at least one other woman to keep Mrs. King Company. 'Since Mrs. Ward Morehouse was a niece of a close friend of mine it might be a nice thing to do to include her. To tell the truth I was getting so close to bringing to pass this proposed dinner party that I began to get a little nervous. There was more than one reason for this. One was that I began to feel that such a venture was somewhat beforehanded. That is to say I felt that all gf them ought to have a chance to examine the study ahead of time so as better to enable me to benefit by what they.might have to say about the job I had done. Another was that my suit case had gone astray and I was somewhat embarrassed at not having my best wearing apparel. But the main reason was that there was another banquet set for the same time which I especially wanted to attend. It happened this way. I was at a loss for something to do during the night of the 27th the same day as of my visit to the Metroplitan Museum of Art. It appeared that a writers con- ference was to be held that evening in the Governor Room of the hotel. I said to myself that I am a writer, and that I would attend that meeting. All .meetings of the AAAS are open to members. Most of the talk at that meeting I would label as "small talk", but the experience was highly enlightening. The main thing that those attending the meeting were con- cerned with was the editing of the results of experiments made by persons engaged in research for different enterprises. Each person was called on to explain the nature of his work. I tried to give them as good a line as I could by showing them a copy of one of my books. One remark impressed me. It was that after all you do not seem to have much trouble with the editor of the results of your research. Then and there I decided to attend the Annual Dinner of that group the next night at the time which I had set for my dinner party.I simply had to hear what Mr. Morris L. Ernst, of the law firm of Greenbaum, Wolff, and Ernst, would say on the subject "Diffusion of Knowledge". It was then that I decided to join my group of people, if possible, with this group. I called Mr. Rousseau the next morning and informed him that I needed to know what luck he had had in helping me with my list of guests so as to complete the details for my party. He was not in his office at the time, but called me later to say that he had not succeeded in making up the party. It could be that he felt hurried. I still feel that I could have put over that dinner party in New York if I had had more time to work it up. Incidentally I found out, when I called Dr. King, that he and Mrs. King were unable to attend on account of a previous engagement. But Mr. Ernst's talk was superb, and there can be no question that every one would have been well rewarded, except for the fact that,my main objective would have been defeated in that I could not have benefitted by having obtained their reaction to my kind of pesearch. g d�a kYg� M : �x u6SY"�& e: Back Row, Left to Right Dr. Reginald Poland, Director of Museums Mr. John B.

Clark Dinner Party, 1/4/5 i Atlantan Hotel Atlanta, Georgia XLIII 4 CONCLUDING COMMENTS REGARDING THE MARKETING OF WORKS OF ART A RE-EMPHASIS ON POINTS MADE IN THE CONTEXT Certain works of art like other economic goods and services call for special treat- ment. This special treatment, should in the opinion of the author, first take note of the peculiarities of individuals manning the ranks of creative artists. Thereupon a careful study needs to be made of how best to adept, or tie in the output of 'these artists with the channels of trade. Much attention was paid to this subject in the context. Little if anything more needs to be added to what was there worked out. In a summary way we may say here there are two lines of approach especially for the marketing of paintings and their kind. One is the publicly supported central and branch museums of art. The other is privately sponsored marketing agencies. pd;of More attention in this study is naturally rf acte to the privately sponsored agencies than those operated under public sponsorship. Publicly supported museums of art are largely educational in nature, .and as such can hardly hope ever to become self supporting. The privately operated agencies, in contemplation in this study, carry the presumption of being worked out in such a manner as to.become fully self sup-, porting. A BETTER CLASSIFICATION OF CREATIVE ACTIVITIE'S NEEDED. The word creative as applied to human activities is somewhat esoteric. All that is really meant by creative action in human endeavor is that of doing successfully some- thing which has never been done before, or of doing more nearly a4isfactorily some- thing already being done. In relation to the first of these the field of operation is wide open, and little opposition need be encountered in the way of competition with established businesses. The latter type of creative action tends to encounter more or less determined opposi- tion of persons already in business. There is,therefore, a perplexity here which can- not be overlooked. That which we are attempting through our business entity, amounts itself to an effort at creative action belonging under the first heading. We would consider what we are attempting as creative action of the highest order. What could be more help- ful, both privately and socially than that of lending a helping hand to other creative efforts which may need to be boosted somewhat so as to enable them to attain to a successful' footing in the business world? A closer study now needs to be made of the structural design of that which is referred to in our study as the headquarters of the R. H. C. Specialty Enterprises, (Cut Numbered XXXIX.)•Plans are now imminent for the development of that pro- ject. This may, therefore, be taken as a living reality in almost immediate contem- plation. As an outlet for works of creative artists this project breaks down three ways. The first and foremost at this time is the adaptation of the structure to paintings and their like. Almost if not quite ae significant is the attention concentrated on food products—especially those originating in bakeries. A much broader sweep, however, is under consideration in that an effort will be made to lend a helping hand to creative actions generally. There is no telling at this time what sort of thing may appear on the shelves of the display roam of the Creative Artists Outlet to be operated by The Ruth Haines Clark Specialty Enterprises, subsidized and possibly controlled by the Kaskaskia Properties, of College Station, Texas. f y 3 < , 19 v' cS , r K b3l?f •�• •c: I i w `q Y to <L. The author saw the original of the above,when he visited his sister-in-law, the day before Christmas, 1956. When he returned home he requested her to have a photo- graph made of the painting for use in this study. Instead of a photograph she sent him that which appears to him to be another original almost if not quite as valuable as the original itself. That is to say, instead of having a photograph made she made a substitute in black ink, far superior to a photograph. The artist's comments regarding the above are as follows: Detail from oil painting "Stevie" - by Marie Haines Burt. Size of complete original picture, unframed - 22X26 in. XLd A TREATMENT SUGGESTED FOR PAINTINGS AND THEIR KIND. b There is hardly any doubt that there is a greater contrast here between the value of the products in the ultimate and the earning power of their originators at the source than that of any other economic goods. A few illustrations are enough to show what is meant by this statement. William Randolph Hearst, for instance, paid no more to transfer a medieval mon- astery from Spain to his estate in California than was paid by the Russian Emperor for Leonardo da Vinci's Benois Madonna. The one took months to be accomplished, and involved train loads of hard to move material. The other could easily have been rolled and packed in a not too large hand bag. And as one person said, the amount of money paid by the United States government to Russia for the territory of Alaska was less than one third of the amount paid by Andrew Mellon in his famous purchase of art from the same government in the early nineteen thirties. With this thought in mind we proceed here to sketch out a plan of operation which appears suited to the problem presented—that of providing an outlet for products of this kind at their inception. The comments at this point in the APPENDIX should rightly be made a part of Chapter XIX. The heading of that chapter in the table of contents being a PROJECT- ED SOLUTION,OF THE PROBLEM The Pricing of Works of Art at the Source would thus become a sub-heading of that chapter. A second sub-heading would thus become A BREAKDOWN OF WORKS OF ART FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRADE. Question numbered 3, of Miss Maxine Y alovitz' list of questions, referred to in the final chapter of the study, furnishes a good lead for what needs to be said here. If the buyers want reproductions, instead of originals, why not let them have the reproductions? It is entirely correct, as was said in our answer to that question, that they do not really want the reproductions, any more so than they really want new inex- pensive automobiles, or modest homes. They accept such things because they are better suited to their purchasing power. It would appear, therefore, that originals should be held in reserve,and offered only to the fancy trade, at prices commensurate with their actual value. In truth it might even be best not to actually offer the orig- inals for sale, but instead wait for the select buyers to seek them out. This is about all that needs to be said except that something in the nature of an actual price schedule should be worked out in advance. We submit the following as something to shoot at. Paintings breakdown three ways, namely: originals, reproductions, and copies. Originals subdivide several ways. One is according to the materials employed whether oil paints, water colors, or pastels. Another is according to the picturization process such as panels, canvasses, castings in plaster or metal, etc. Murals, of course are usually done in oil paints, and are paid for in the nature of compensation for the service performed. Originals, in the main, fall into three classes to qualify as works of art. These are those which reproduce beauty, those which create beauty,and those which break with tradition. We do not mean to imply that artists who break with tradition do not in the process of making the break, sometimes actually create beauty. For their works to endure they must create beauty. The very reason for their endurance is that they re- present a new approach to the creation of beauty. The case of Claude Monet (not Manet) is suggestive of what is meant here. In the early years of his work as a painter he had to endure the scoffs of his associates, even to the extent of sometimes having holes punched in his canvases in derision. He was, in line with the general theme of this study, forced to endure much suffering, even the biting pangs of hunger, and the embarassment of having to wear rags, before he finally achieved the recognition which he deserved. The merits of his paint- ings, however, may not be so much the actual creation of beauty as the capturing of unusual evidences of the beauty of certain objects which reflected the sunlight. In the pricing process of originals which fall in the first category, a representative painting done in oil (say 4' by 6% properly framed, should be priced for the retail trade at not less than $1,000. Pastels in the same category might be priced at not less than $250. Those done in water colors might be priced at not less than $100. Originals which fall in the second class, those which lack the vivifying element and merely reproduce beauty, would hardly expect to sell for much or anything more than good reproductions of the first class originals. Even copies of the high class originals, if done without evidence of fraud, might attain to exceptional merit as originals. s Representative reproductions (photographic) in colors, properly framed, might expect to be priced at not less than $20. Photographic reproductions (in black and white) would expect to sell for a price little if anything more than the cost of at- tractive frames. There would naturally expect to be a gradation both up and down from these basic prices depending on sizes and quality of the frames. Intelligently operated outlets for works of art, of the kind here called attention, to, would expect to have at their command sufficient quantities of such :things to interest enough customers for the volume of sales to bring in enough income to make the enterprise profitable. If we are right in our assumption that when persons are given a place to go where they feel assured of the genuineness of the articles offered they will seek out for themselves those points of distribution, the volume of sales will in time become spontaneous. This is one of the hypotheses which we are attempting to verify in our study of the marketing of works of art—especially paintings. Many other products of creative artists than those of paintings, and the Pike may make their appearance in the display room of the so-called creative artists outlets. OTHER CREATIVE ACTIVITIES When we stated that there is no telling what sort of thing may snake its appear- ance ultimately on the shelves of the Creative Artists Outlet we had in mind a de- finite plan of action. It relates to the utilization of a portion of the hundred acre tract of land lying just beyond the South Knoll. A group of students is now working on a project for that tract of land. A $50 prize has been offered by us for the best answer to the question as to what to do with that land. When the returns are in, a cut of the results of that study will most likely be made a part of this material. It is entirely possible that suggestions there made may to some extent modify that which we now have in mind. We have, nevertheless, requested that what we are saying here be included in what they do. It amounts to a sort of combination of the A. C. Barnes and the Charles Fourier approach to a better plan for human existence. In our imagination. therefore, we shall name the area - about two acres on the left as you leave the South Knoll going south - The A. C. Barnes Plaza. In this we propose to build several apartment houses acommodating approximately ten famil- ies each. These will be labeled Charles Fourier Apartments. If the reader will refer to page 147 of our study he will obtain an idea of what is meant. Families renting these apartments will each be allowed a tract of land set aside in an open prairie of about forty acres as operating units. They will be allowed to do anything they may want to do there. That which they have to offer for sale from the productive activities there set up might find their market, if they so desire, through the Creative Artists Outlet. In violation of the Fourier concept, however, there will be no attempt to coordinate the value of the products offered on the market with the cost of living in one of the apartments. The rent for one of the apartments will be a previously understood definite amount of money - say $100 each monthly. It will be interesting to find out, however,how nearly the occupants of the apartments will come to making enough money from their productive activities in the areas of operation to cover their costs of living in their gxarters. It is not anticipated that there will be any extra charge for the operating area over and above the charge for the apartments. We await with a great deal of eagerness something in the nature of a projected landscape plan for that which we have in mind. Families who would want to live in such apartments would more than likely consist of former college professors, or other professional men, or women, who have reached the age of retirement and have a number of years of life expectancy left. They may find here an answer to the perennial question of what to do with their spare time. The writer may himself live in one of the apartments -and grow water melons for the trade - that of extracting the juice for syrup and other sweet products. The pulp and rind would, of course, make good feed for cattle or chickens, or may-be other sorts of thing which could be produced there. 7 Two other things in immediate contemplation need to be referred to. One relates to the outputs of the bakery do-nut activities. In this instance the creative action, if such it proves to be,will result in doing something more satisfactorily that is already being done in a large way—so large in fact as even to raise the question of its use to cause it to attempt to obstruct governmental action looking to the correction of a practice vital to our very lives. The other is a projected plan of operation of the unsold tract of land south of our latest subdivision—The South Knoll—which con- centrates on several problems needing constructive attention. That which is done here may become to some extent competitive with activities already on operation. It will, however, in the main be related to something never actually done before. THE POISONS IN OUR STORE-BOUGHT BREAD STORY. The reader may have observed that a heroic part has been taken in the study which I am making by a young man by the name of Raymond K. Smith. He is em- ployed as a baker, and works for the college, in a bakery which prepares the bread for literally thousands of young men to whom meals are served. His position, there- fore, is such that he can speak out without fear of vindictiveness on the part of established businesses. He is furthermore so placed that he speaks with authority. He came to my help at the time when I needed him most, and he has to this date proved his merit. While many of the things which I have had to do with his assistance have been somewhat embarrassing for me to do, yet with his counsel I felt that the occasion demanded the actions taken. The results thus far attained have been truly compli- mentary to his ability as a strategist, and his complete integrity. Only a few days ago he called to my attention that the young food specialist re- ferred to in my story as Bill ------ has in fact been apprehended by governmental forces of correction and that he is now serving a term in the Federal Penitentiary. The occasion of his arrest were his failure to make the proper accounting to the Internal Revenue Department, for the social security payments of persons on his pay rolls. Another charge related to the use of the United States mails to defraud. This occurrence sadly calls attention to my statement that fine artists may at times even allow their enthusiasm for that which they are doing allow them to violate the law in such a manner as to cause them to be mistaken for swindlers. May I ask why a person like that should not under the supervision of the prison authorities, and under probation, be allowed to work at the job which so powerfully claims his interest as to make him even disregard the criminal laws to set into motion corrective agen- cies? The A. and M. Donut Shop, however, is now a thriving business—a small one, to be sure, but fully alive, and apparently fully aware of its financial responsibilities. In other words the $3,500 note which they owe me gives evidence of being a good chattel mortgage. Payments are now being made on that which should eventually liquidate it. tion. The disposal of the aforesaid bakery equipment is now up for constructive atten- Before being forced to take leave of the hectic sort of business enterprises which our friend Bill ------ was operating we requested him to write down the names of the chemicals employed in store bought bread which, according to his point of view, made that bread unfit for human consumption. Here they are: POLYGTKZYCOL MONOSTERATE (used for preservation) CALCIUM PROPIONATE (used as a softener) CHLORINE DIOXIDE (used as a bleach to whiten the bread) With only one exception we have found almost nobody who has ever heard of these chemicals. The exception is Chlorine Dioxide, of course. And this same chemical is widely employed in our drinking water. The latter fact also raises the question of the safety of the drinking water as well as the bread. Medical doctors, however, have not been as outspoken as to its harmful effects in the drinking water.(But the writer did call up a well-known doctor and asked him to tell the truth about the hazard associated with the chlorine in the drinking water. His answer was: "Dr. Clark, it is true. We doctors have known it all the time, but have been stopped from saying so owing to its endorsement by the State Health Department." 8 By way of explanation here it may be said that some of this poison becomes dissolved in the water—a very small amount, to be sure. But it is cumulative in the human body. After a number of years continued use, enough of it has been acquired to cause death by heart failure. The introduction of automatic refrigeration has in- creased the hazard, since most of us make very little use of commercially frozen ice. The latter is generally made with distilled `eater, and tends to dilute the hydrant water for home consumption. The writer has no more to say about the question of the threat of being poisoned by drinking water from the household taps except that since having this information brought to his attention he refuses to drink A. He instead purchases distilled water for drinking and cooking purposes in his particular hone, and makes use of rain water when he can capture it. The poison in our store bought bread subject, however, has received enough journalistic attention to give us pause. At tine very time when we were engaged in this particular phase of our study the following stories appeared in the daily papers. I quote the first in its entirety. The second is quoted only to the extent of raising the question of the possibility of the threat to the very life of possibly the most valuable man in the world at this time. The symptoms of his heart attack were identical with those described as accompanying the result of being poisoned by a dose of chlorine dioxide an attack of what appeared at first to be an upset stomach, resembling in- digestion, but which proved to be a dangerous heart condition. We submit here the question as to whether or not those of us on the side lines may not become alarmed at these statements when they are made by persons who are in the position to know what they are talking about. The implications here involved are too serious to be disregarded by persons in responsible positions. Does the reader know of any other instance when a Federal Food and Drug Administrator was satisfied by merely recommending "the reduction to a very minimum" of the use of a thing which is known to be a violent poison? Certainly not in something as important to human lives as our daily bread. What is the reason for this? Was he afraid of his job because of the powerful pressure of the bread dealers? Why did he not say "Keep that damn stuff out of the bread?" Even modifying the word "damn" in the usual way. We are reminded of a statement once made by H. L. Mencken to the effect that the English language is short of "cuss words". The same one has to be made use of too frequently, and there are some instances calling for one more expressive than any which we have now in use. It seems apparent, therefore,the charge is true that at least some cases of heart failure - sudden cases - are logically attributable to the very bread that we eat, and as we stated above, to even the water we drink. At least no harm can result from the establishing of an agency where positive assurance can be given that nothing of the kind will be made use of in the manu- facture of the products available to the public from that source. We submit that this will be creative activity of the highest order. If things work out as we have set them up, there will be operated in the utility room of the headquarters of the R H C Specialty Enterprises a bakery which measures up to this high responsibility. It so happens that we have at our command one who knows how to do it. The problem of transferring the values from the bakery seized under foreclosure procedure has been more exasperating than perplexing. But experiences here encountered have revealed to us that the purulence of the bread making business is not concentrated solely in the local bakeries. 9 FRONT PAGE, SECTION 3, Dr. Schoch confirmed that he DALLAS NEWS, 9/22/55 had treated a number of patients BREAD CALLED CAUSE OF-- suffering from "perpetuation of By Helen Bullock penicillin reaction" by removing News Staff Writer milk from their diets.

Several other efforts are reflected in the quoted letters than the one in immediate contemplation. One of these amounts to a suggested plan of treatment for the fin- ancing the United States Government in case of the abandonment of the income tax. for that purpose. A bold outline for this particular thing has already been prepared by the writer and it has received apparently serious consideration by persons in high places. The details of such a project as this, however, would call for the preparation of another 1 study comparable to that of The Marketing of Works of Art. This would certainly fit into the general objective of The Kaskaskia Properties - that of helping to meet head-on any threat to our institutions. Paul L. Poirot The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc. Irvington-on-Hudson New York Dear Mr. Poirot: 3/23/'56 This is to thank you for your letter of the 21st inst., with enclosures. It is apparent from my correspondence with "our mutual friend Jim Campaigne, of the Indianapolis Star" that I am making an all out attack on the United States income tax, certainly with all of the resources at my cammand. Because of this one of the first questions that will be asked is how I myself stand in my relationship to the United States Government in this matter,I have answered this in a letter to intimate friend of mine,Dr. George B. Franklin, who up to a few years ago was a professor of English at Boston University. I do not know to what extent he may want his name used in connection with what I am doing. Hence if any reference is made to this letter anywhere, I hope that his name will not be mentioned without his consent. His address is at this time Register, Georgia. But in summer and early fall his address is 45 Dwight Street, Brookline, Mass. The other persons whose names are mentioned are public officials and could have no reason to have their names omitted, although personally I feel that courtesy demands that we respect persons like that before bringing them into a controversy which could become almost world-wide. The carbon copy of my letter to Dr. Franklin will not only give the answer to anyone who may be curious about my own status in relation to the income tax laws, but will add considerably to the information which my first letter to you at least has opened up. The constructive solution to my own relation to the government has come as much through my own insistence that certain questions be answered for me in a way which will remove any doubt about my liability under the law as it has because of adtion taken by the collectors of the taxes. It is true, however, that the revenue men led off in bringing the thing to a head. I am keeping copies of this fetter so that I can send them to the few other per- sons who have expressed an active interest in what I am attempting. As long as anyone who may want to quote me will use discretion in what he has to say, and in the manner of making the quotation, so far as I am concerned the field is wide open. If it can be found that I owe the United States Government, or for that matter any other government, in fact any other individual any amount of money, I stand ready to make a settlement with them. Sincerely yours, F. B. Clark Dear Franklin: 12 3/22/'5G The carbon copy of a letter which I have written to Mr. Paul L. Poirot, of the Foundation for Economic Education, of Irvington-on-Hudson, in New York; and of a fetter to the Texas Director of Internal Revenue, of Austin, Texas, reveals that I am still unloading on you for the purpose of having my material in hand when I need it. The indications are that, through "our mutual friend, Jim Campaigner the Editor in charge of Editorials of the Indianapolis Star" my little bulletin contesting the efficacy of the United States income tax laws may be given national attention. If that does happen I shall need a brief summary of what it is all about. This letter to you will, I hope, serve me well if such a fantastic thing does actually happen. I have indicated in my letter to Paul L. Poirot those steps which I feel should be taken immediately. The first is to have Congress pass immediately a general amnesty law for all persons who have been criminally convicted of violating the income tax laws as now in operation. I should say here that probably one exception might be made to this general amnesty law. That relates to convictions associated with what may be designated as "rogues' income". More about this sometime later. The next thing to do is to cancel all unpaid obligations more than one year old. Thereupon allow persons to make their payments for the current year in the amount which would have covered their obligations under the income tax laws as of the year 1955.When they have made this payment give each person a receipt clearing him of all obligations to the United States Government under the income tax laws as they have been operating up till the year 1957. Thereupon take steps to straighten out the thing in the light of that which has come to be accepted theoretical economic concepts. As I said to Mr. Poirot, economic concepts cannot be made simple, but they can be made clear to those persons who will take the time and trouble to work them out. There is possibly no greater jumble of confused economic concepts to be found anywhere else in the world than in the United States Revenue Code. Where there has been any recognition of anything which can be thought of as theoretical economics its ultimate impact leads to absurdities. Take, for instance, the distinction that is made between returns made on a cash basis as distinguished from an accrual basis. I wish I had time to explain a few absurdities which have been brought to my atten- tion recently in connection with this point alone. The whole thing has been developed because of the use of the accountant's concept of income- social income - as a sum total of private values. A concept so absurd on its face as to be laughable. To arrive at this laughable conclusion calls for a great deal of econmic analysis. Unless persons called on to work out such a law have first brought themselves into the position intellectually to understand what I am talking about here, they have not become quailfied even to consider drawing up a reasonably enforcibly income tax statute. It happens that I give a whole chapter to this subject in my manuscript on Public Finance. But even at that, that which I have to say there cannot be fully understood till the student has straightened himself out on the mean- ing of the concept of production. This I have taken for granted in my manuscript. There is possibly no better illustration of the impact of the economic absurdi- ties about which I am talking now than the manner in which they have appeared in the examination w'-ich has been made of my own income tax responsibilities to the United States Government as the laws are now in operation. Before going into this, however,I want to say this. It is not impossible that some anti-United States influence may now be operating to cause an upheavel in this country among the citizens because of the way the Income tax laws actually operate when rigidly enforced. And there is now an aggressive attempt to put the pressure on persons so as to squeeze the last drop out of them that is possible to obtain through a strict interpretation of the law. That sort of thing has in the past been a moving cause of certainly one of the most frightful revolutions in all history - The French Revolution. When I say, therefore, that we are threatened with something in the nature of an insurrection I am speaking in the light of what my study of history reveals. 13 Only a week ago one of my most valued friends and associates died suddenly here. Shortly before he died he said to me that it looks as if he needed the help of a well known accountant here to help him with income tax statement. In spite of all that I have said about poisons in our bread and water, people like that don't die suddenly unless there is something beneath the surface to bring it about.It is entirely possible that they put the squeeze on him, as they have done me, and that he took the easiest way out. Let's look this p1•oblem squarely in the face and head the thing off before it is too late! It so happened that I had built my organization - business organization, I mean, in such a way as to throw the internal revenue officers on the defensive. But I do want to add that I feel that I have won the friendship and respect of the two persons here who have been working with me. They are the local man, a Mr. W. G.Pleuckhahn, and his immediate superior, a Mr. Walter Peine. Mr. Pleuckhahn has refused to decide anything finally without first consulting his superior, and after two hearings with his immedate superior, Mr. Peine, I have employed Judge W. S. Barron to com- plete the job in the light of their findings. I sent you carbon copies of letters to this end last time. I was not proceeding without some past experience. Over ten years ago, shortly before 1942 - the date of my brochure - I had an insulting letter from one of the revenue men,out of Dallas, informing me that the amount due from me was far in excess of what I had paid. By this time, I guess you will agree with me if any-one high hats me I high hat him back, and representatives of the United States Government are no exceV.ion. It is, however, not without some fear and trepidation that I lock horns with one of those fellows. But I did send him a blank check, signed, and ready to go,and told him to fill in the amount and take responsibility for the accuracy of his calculations. My intention was to prosecute him if an investigation revealed him to be in error,for extortion.This as you know would have entitled me to bring the case in the District Court, a court, by-the-way, over which my good friend Judge Barron presided. I should have at least been in a friendly court. He returned the check, of course, and soon after a man from Houston came to see me. The rest is too much to tell here. But I came out all right. That fellow was the one who stated to me: "Dr. Clark, I am unable to figure out how much you owe. etc. etc." I remember that the name of the fellow from Houston was Russell Atkinson. Mr. Peine is also from Houston, and said that Russell Atkinson is still employed by the Houston office, and that he knew him well. A good thing about most of these internal revenue men is that when you come to know them they are all more or less "good sports". They realize that the game which they are in is a messy one. And that many persons are so ignorant of the first principles of business law that attempts which they make to evade the impact of the income tax are so naive as to be ridiculous. Men like that are so completely at the mercy of the collectors of the taxes that they are panicky when they are called on the mat. The whole thing is shot through with so many subterfuges as to — you supply the word? Anyhow after I have convinced them that we are working at an unconscionable task they become cooperative and seem willing to help find some kind of a logical line of procedure out of a perplexing dilemma. The things which bewildered Mr. Atkinson, way back over ten years ago, about my organization seem now to have been given constructive attention. It has all worked out in harmony with other things which I was doing. Soon after I presented the paper before the Social Science Section of the Texas Academy of Sciences, I was called on to offer a graduate course in Public Finance. That gave me the opportunity to work up the manuscript which I am now offering as containing at least a constructive approach to a possible solution of the problem of writing a tax law in the light of accepted econmic theories. My manuscript dealing with the Marketing of Works of Art was finished in the nick of time for me to show there the inner workings of what I am attempting to do. If I had not had that to hand to Mr. Peine he might not have held, as he has done, that my organization, The Kaskaskia Properties, and its close associate The Ruth Haines Clark Specialty Enterprises, are public trusts. Being public trusts they are untaxable both locally and nationally. The only taxable portion of their income is that which I claim for myself, and it need not be more than I am allowed to capture as earned income before claiming social security benefits. To be sure two or three questions need to be answered. Mr. Peine said, for in- stance, that he was not equipped to pass finally on the revocability feature as- sociated with my particular form of trust, and requested me to employ an attorney for that purpose. But whichever way it goes now does not matter too much. But I would not be surprised if Judge Barron will agree with me that what I have had has been all time an untaxable public trust. Now that the irrevocable feature has been or will be added, will simply remove the hazard of having to pay back taxes if liquid- ated. Sincerely Yours, F. B.

Sponsor of a new political party—THE CONSTITUTION PARTY, Publisher of THE' SUMMIT (Miss.) SUN, a weekly newspaper dedicated to the conservation of the best American traditions. The author of this study feels that if Mrs. Cain would change the name of her party to THE FREEDOM PARTY instead of THE CONSTITUTION PARTY, nominate J. Bracken Lee for the Presidency and Mr. D. B. Lewis for the Vice-Presidency, make use of Mr. D. B. Lewis, plan of sponsoring programs issued by Dan Smoot, of Dallas, Texas, for a combination of campaign and advertising purposes, they might win the next election. In this case we should expect Mrs. Cain to be the first woman to occupy the position of Secretary of State. There was ample material in Biloxi at the meeting held during April 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st, 1957,to fill creditably all other cabinet positions. If this should happen our institutions might be rescued from the present threat of disaster. Brief Statement Regarding Discontinuance of the United States Income Tax AZy suggestions came clear and decisive. It is that the first thing to do is to pass a. general amnesty law applying to everyone who has been convicted of the violation of that law - with a very few possible exceptions. The second thing to do is to cancel all unpaid accounts under that law more than a year old. Thereupon collect the taxes as of the current year and issue receipts discharging persons from further obligations under the law as now in operation. Then take steps to correct the thing in the light of reasonably sound economic theory. This would mean that taxes as such would be recognized as expenses of production, which of course they really are. As expenses of production allow taxes to be applied against rents (economic). quasi-rents, royalties, and monopoly profits; and against production under competitive conditions, recognizing that these follow three lines of costs, namely, constant, increasing, and decreasing. Some beautiful exercises can be worked out under each of those headings, and it is not too much to expect of accoun- tants that they be made to understand them so as to enforce the law. In the operation of the government, abolish everything which looks like appropriations for foreign aid. Such charges as those can readily be adapted to the money-making activities of a proposed international monetary system. With the right sort of spon- sorship that organization could take over the load which is now carried by the U. S. Government, and even ultimately convert it into a profitable venture. Earnings from investments in the international monetary system could be applied to the national' debt.

Sugar, meat, butter, gasoline and automobile tires were rationed as well as shoes and other leather goods. Housing was scarce and there was a waiting list for every house for rent. The Landiss family (Carl, Georgia Belle and Carolyn) came to College Station at the beginning of the spring semester of 1943. Carl had our name on every housing list available and were finally able to rent the first floor of a duplex at 301 Fairview. Soon afterwards, the Nelson Dursts came as newly weds to occupy the upper story. Fairview street extended from the A&M College on the north to Park Place on the south. Looking south there was a rose garden that had been planted by a math professor,Dr. E.C. Klipple, who lived next door. Along the asphalt street we could see people riding bicycles to A&M and to the Southside Shopping Center. Looking north we could see people riding bicycles coming from these places and we could see people in cars turning on to Jersey street which was the main thoroughfare bordering the south side of the campus. There were no sidewalks or street lights. Our neighbors included the David Flemings, the W.M. Dowells, the Bill Moores, the Frank Coulters, the Sam Clelands, the John Riggs, and the Johnny Rogers. Turning on to Jersey Street, there were the J.G. McGuires, the Luke Patranellas, the Wayne Longs, and the Welcome Wrights. All of them worked at A&M except for the Patranellas who owned a grocery store at East Gate. Joyce Patranella had a Cocker Spaniel dog that took a nap in the middle of Jersery every afternoon. I guess he liked to lie on the asphalt. Carolyn met a girl,Rosemary Lenert, in Mrs. Lyle's first grade class who shared the same birthday, September 25, 1936, and they became best of friends. Her father was Dr. A.A. Lenert in the Veterinary School at A&M. Another close friend was Ann Copeland whose father was with the A&M Dairy Science Department.

The picture shows the record snow fall ....6 inches....which fell in February 1949. It was the soft fluffy dry snow which was good for making snow ice cream. There has not been this much snow in College Station before or since. Carl attached a tall wooden ladder to the back of our car to take the neighbors on a makeshift sleigh ride.

There was open land all around at the time. M.L. Cashion Sr. was director of YMCA on campus. He, during World War II had a huge victory garden across the street (Anna). He had the best known compact pile which was a new idea at the time. (grapefruit rinds, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable peelings etc.) For$1.00 per day you could get a team of mules, a wagon and garden implements from the agriculture department at A&M to use to cultivate victory gardens. Practically every vacant lot in College Park was utilized for a victory garden. Mark Dowell and Carl Landiss (from the Health& P.E. Department) worked 2 vacant lots on Jersey and one on Fairview. They grew tomatoes, radishes, onions, lettuce, squash, green beans, black eyed and crowder peas, corn, turnips and greens to share with the neighbors and to can (using pressure cookers). Horticulture farm allowed peple to come pick berries etc. landiss 1.doc College Park Arthur Adamson Art Adamson was a championship swimmer from New Zealand who was in the Health and P.E.

All the kids looked forward to when they could stand in the shallow end of the pool with their shoulders out of the water so they could take swimming lessons from Art. He taught them during the summer, and when they progressed far enough he entered them in swimming meets in Houston.

He bought the land and developed Oakwood addition of College Park. They lived at Lee street and after Dr. T.O. Walton retired as president of A&M and became College Station Postmaster, he and his wife also lived on Lee Street. Hershell financed the building of the Burgess-Pugh Lumber Yard at the corner of Jersey and Old Hwy 6 next to the railroad. Marion Pugh was on that 1939 Championship team. Mr. Burgess was instrumental in the establishment of College Station State Bank and College Station Building and Loan. He also built the clinic occupied by Dr. Dwight Andrea, the first resident physician in College Station. landiss3.doc Lou Burgess Cashion (Mrs. Red) Lou Burgess Cashion lived on Lee Street.

Bible was successful at A&M. He was hired by Nebraska University, very successful. By this time, t.u. was looking for a coach, and hired Bible for $15,000 which was more than the UT president was making. They soon raised the presidents salary to $15,000.

This tract lies on the border between Bryan and College Station and will eventually be developed to serve as a neighborhood park for the Chimney Hill Subdivision. Ed and Billie Madeley came to College Station and opened Madeley's Pharmacy in the Southside Shopping Center in June of 1940. They moved here from Chappel Hill and had to live at first in Bryan because there was nothing to rent in College Station.After four months they found a house on Grove Street in College Station.Later they moved back to Bryan into a home in Beverly Estates. In 1950 they bought a five acre tract of land that backed up to their home. Edward and Billie promised one another that they would never sell this land for development,so it was decided in 1997 that the land should be given as parkland to the City of College Station for the Chimney Hill subdivision. The Madeley's have been long time friends of most early College Station and Bryan residents. Ed as pharmacist gave his advice on medication for all sorts of ills and his soda fountain provided a gathering place for all the teenagers and coffee shop gossipers of the young city from 1940 to 1979. Madeley's,in the Southside Shopping Center next to Texas A&M,was the Mall of yesteryear. The place you went to see friends,get medicine,buy a paper,see what was happening,or just order a cherry phosphate and chat with buddy's. They also served their community in other voluntary efforts. They have been members of A&M United Methodist Church since 1940. Ed was a member of Sul Ross Lodge,President of the Brazos Valley Shrine Club,served on the Sterling Evans and Bryan Library Boards and an organizational member of the Better Business Bureau.Billie served as secretary of the OPAS Board,member of the Campus Study Club, Garden Club and the Women's Club of Bryan,and a secretary to Crestview home for the aged. The Madeleys have been dedicated members of the Bryan-College Station community for over 50 years. It is appropriate that they should be remembered for years to come through the dedication of this parkland. For many youth who grew up in College Station, it could be said that the Madeley's,who had no children of their own, practically raised an entire generation of College Station youth who spent most of their free time at Madeley's Pharmacy. In those days,there were no latch key kids in College Station...........the. Madeley's watched after them all. end S I'd e, ill Fitch was a legend legend was laid to rest last week in s this community. He was not just a developer, visionary, salesman, rene- "ade, "Mr. College Station;" a large por- tion of College Station history has passed on. William D. and Gail T. Fitch should be emembered as long as College Station is n a map. Mr. Fitch lived and breathed d sacrificed his family for the better- ` ient of College Station. The man war- "biped College Station. The new College Station Library is Scheduled for a ground breaking in March. I think it would be appropriate to ame the library after the Fitch family. P,nd I'm certain, if Bill Fitch was still working and actively scribbling and <scratching out ideas on Dairy Queen nap- ins and white legal pads today, he would probably want to honor Gail's memory at any cost. College Station would obviously be here today, but without Bill:Fitch, College Station would not be thriving and experi- encing the tremendous growth that it has experienced in the last ten years. Fitch has had a tremendous impact on economic development that is and will continue for many years to come. As the old saying goes, `Behind every good man is an exhausted woman." Bill Fitch could not have done it without her. A library room should be dedicated in honor of him and the room should have a constant supply of colored markers, white legal pads,paper clips, Scotch tape, pencil sharpener and coffee cups. And them maybe some day this community may be fortunate enough to get another Bill Fitch. He will truly be missed. BOBBY LANE �1� , College Station SOUTH SIDE REMEMBERED--MARCH 26, 1995 For eight years Ed and Billie Madely owned a drugstore in the quiet town of Chappel Hill. Business was not good because of the depression. Claude Edge who worked for Lilly Ice Cream Company suggested to Ed that he move to College Station. Ed did not want to move. But after much encouragement from Claude and the steady decline of business, Ed and Billie moved to Grove St. in the spring of 1940. Ed met with two gentlemen, J.F. Casey and H.E. Burgess, to discuss the rental of a building on Jersey St. Ed was a very particular man and wanted a new building, stating that he did not want someone else's headaches. Mr. Burgess and Mr. Casey promised this new building to him. So, Ed took the old soda fountain from his back yard, traded it in for a 10% discount on a new one at $1800.00. Then with only 20% down on fixtures, Madely's Drug Store opened in the summer of 1940. Tom Covey who was a traveling drug salesman for South West Drug Company was the first customer at Madely's, thus the beginning of a long and lasting friendship. A good day, according to Mr. Madely, consisted of opening the store at lam , having lunch at White Way Cafe, (a very popular eatery), traveling to the First State Bank in Bryan, since there wasn't a bank in College Station, and closing the store at 7pm. The only day of the year Madely's closed was Christmas Day. In 1944, business was very good and with a monthly income around $110 Mr. Madely decided it was time for a new truck . For $800 the Madely's bought a new Chevy with a top speed of 60mph. Mr. Madely was very involved in his community. He was one of the founding members of the Better Business Bureau, and served on that board for 8 years. He said that one of the most common complaints the BBB received was concerning the new telephone system in College Station. In 1947 he was a commissioner for the Sul Ross Lodge, better known as the American Legion Lodge. He, along with Wheezie Clark, and Tom Covey, wrote the first Zoning Ordinance of College Station. Mr. Madely has had many acquaintances throughout his years in history of College Station including: Joe Vincent, who was in the insurance business; Dr. Andre, who had his office upstairs from the drug store; Lee Norwood, a policeman; Dean Brooks who was the President of Texas A & M; and a math professor at A&M named "Square Root" Jackson, famed for his math problem solving. People would send Professor Jackson letters in the mail about their math problems. Professor Jackson would ride his bicycle down a country road (better known as Wellborn Road) to the Post Office and by the time he arrived back at the University, he had the answer. He would then turn around ride back to the Post Office and return their letter with the answer. In 1946 during one of the most popular Aggie traditions, bonfire, Tom Covey's wife went into labor. Mrs. Madely drove her to the hospital, and Sharon Covey was born. Sharon Covey (Menn) has very fond memories of growing up in College Station. Her mother worked in the gift shop at the MSC. She was the only woman in a management position at that time. Some years later she was killed in an auto accident. Remembering her childhood brings back thoughts of walking on fences, playing in sand boxes, hopscotch, relaxing on screen porches, attic fans, a time when everybody knew everybody else and going to school at Trudies Kiddie College &Hardaway Kindergarten. In the fourth grade Sharon met and befriended Margaret McMurray (Griffith). A favorite past time of theirs was to go to Guion Hall and watch movies all day for only a quarter. If you helped Mr. Putty, the manager, fold popcorn boxes, he would let you in for free. In the late sixties Guion Hall was torn down and Rudder Tower built in its place. They would play at A & M, collect tennis balls, sell them for a nickel, and go to Madely's Drug Store for a vanilla or cherry phosphate. In the 50's, Madely's was one of the more popular places for teenagers to go Football games were as popular then as they are now, maybe even more so. The Kuanis Club sold box lunches, and mums were sold on the street corners. Everyone wore their "proper" fall attire. Ladies dressed in sweaters, skirts and heels, although they stood for the whole game, as tradition would have it and even if it was hot. Speaking of football, Mr. Madely told a story of a "Big Talking" man he once met. Now this gentleman was always bragging, and he said that he could whip anyone. One day, at a fair in Alabama, there was a contest with a prize of$100. This "Big Talker" was prompted by his friends to enter this contest. After much persuasion, he did and he won. For wrestling a bear, not only did he win $100, but he was honored with a nickname, Paul "BEAR" Bryant. How much truth there is to this story is unknown, however this is the way it was recalled by Ed Madely. Ed Madely, Sharon Covey Menn and Margaret McMurray Griffith love College Station and still reside here and most likely, always will. - r Y r_ 2 Page 2A THE EAGLE/Bryon-College Station,Texas Sunday,July 4, 1976 ' M e e sTaste o � e as er ear' ',JUNE T.BONARRIGO served in cone shaped`paper cups supported even after all these years,"he added.One of, �,.panies.

After 39 years of work in the same location, he's quit the busi— ness . , , closed the door, sold out, retired. Ed Madeley! It's a personal loss' to me, for "'Ed's Place" has been a real part of my life for the past 4`z years. When I wanted a bit of a break, a "breather," I just dropped in on Ed. He was never too busy to have a cup. of coffee, chat a few minutes, fill a hurried prescription, or offer some bit of wisdom to give me a little different perspective. I got to know a lot of folk just by stopping in--Sarah Hoover, Gene Zulkowski, Elizabeth Williams, Ben Liles, Mrs. Fleming, and a lot more. I'm going to miss Ed's Place something fierce; There was a certain nostalgia about it--with the soda fountain so much like the one I knew back home as a young "soda jerk." Those beautiful old merchandise cases, with sliding glass sections . . . and Ed's personal service to so many families he's served for four decades. No, Ed's not through. There's plenty left to do. He'll still work around now and then at other drug stores to help out some friends that want a day or two off. And he will maintain his strong ties to the Church, the Masonic Lodge, the Sons of the Republic of Texas, OPAS, and a variety of other valuable interests. Yes, I'll miss Ed's Place. But I still have Ed . . . and that's the important part. He's friend, churchman, counselor . . . in a word, his life has enriched mine. And that's the finest gift one life can offer another. A lot of you are like that to me. I see your integrity, your joy at just being alive and rendering a service, your deep commitments to the "good life of the gospel." Thanks to you all for being a part of my life. Bob ' By JANE MILISSMITH ee i The Eagle/Byran College Station,Texas—Friday,September 21,1979.

He soon traded i • the Waco F for a Fairchild 22, and it was in that plane that he ' had the only accident he has ever had. . Dr. Wilkerson organized the local Civil Air Patrol during World War II, an organization which was made up of 40 mem- bers. They met twice each week for.dfill and study of meteorology, navigation, air patrol regulations and other subjects. Many local people became interested in fly-' ing at that time, with some serving as pilots and others as observers. Other organizations of which Dr. Wilkerson is a member in- clude the National Aeronautics Association, Texas Private Fly- ers' Association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association,the Sports- man Pilots' organization and the *' Brazos Aviation Association. Dr. Wiikerson has come to know many pilots from all over the world and has made interest- ing trips with them. Always ac- companied by Mrs. Wilkerson, he has made trips to Florida, Cana- da, Mexico, Arizona; Bandera, Wisconsin, Fort Clark, and Calif-! ornia. Next spring, they plan to visit Cuba and in the summer will fly to Nova Scotia. I i I SUNDAY,DECEMBER 20. 1953 r r• M:.. I s ; a xEi AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS—Community lead- ter Coulter, are seated.

The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas is peculiarly and unfortunately situated in so far as living conditions are concerned. There are about a hundred small cottages maintained on the campus which are assigned to the heads of depart- ments and a few members of the teaching staff, but these houses are totally inade- quate to take care of the entire faculty of the institution. Furthermore, the majority of them are only five -room frame structures which are much too small for a large family. Bryan, the nearest town, is five miles away and the only means of transport- ation is the street car which runs once an hour, and the round trip between Bryan and College Station costs 30 cents. As Bryan is only a small town., there are few houses to be rented, so the college professor who is not fortunate enough to secure a house on the campus must take an apartment in town and either purchase a 'car to carry him to and from his work or he must pay out a goodly amount each month for car fare. Such were the existing conditions when a group of college professors determined that they would have homes of their own and yet have the benefits of living in a college community. College Park is in the "woods" south of the campus of the A &M College and, although it is yet in its infancy, it is doubtful whether a more attractive group of homes could be found in the State. The main street, which is called Clark Boulevard in honor of the promoter of the idea, resembles from a distance only a beautiful shady road encircling a very blue lake. Proximity, however, brings out the fact that back among the giant trees is a row of beautiful houses, or rather homes, for each one has that personal touch which distinguishes a home from just a house. The houses are in a great semi - circle, each one facing the lake and also the road. The shady lawns and the gayly painted rowboats on the water would convince the onlooker that life in such a community would be very pleasant indeed. Because they were built to livein, each house is individual and reflects the ideas and taste of its owner. In appearance they are as varied as the Pied Piper's rats. There are great houses set on two lots in order to have plenty of room for the child- ren to romp and play. There are small houses with one side set aside for the family roadster. There is a log house with steam heat and bizarre walls. There are modern bungalows, Old English farm houses, New England cottages, white - columned Southern Colonials and many that are too original to be classified as to any definite architect- ural style.

The shady lawns and the gayly painted rowboats on the water would convince the onlooker that life in such a community would be very pleasant indeed. Because they were built to livein, each house is individual and reflects the ideas and taste of its owner. In appearance they are as varied as the Pied Piper's rats. There are great houses set on two lots in order to have plenty of room for the child- ren to romp and play. There are small houses with one side set aside for the family roadster. There is a log house with steam heat and bizarre walls. There are modern bungalows, Old English farm houses, New England cottages, white - columned Southern Colonials and many that are too original to be classified as to any definite architect- ural style. Although College Park has a great deal of natural beauty, it required the aid of man to make the location a habitable place. Five years ago the site of the little community was nothing more than a mosquito - infested swamp, the only pretty feature being the great trees and luxuriant foliage. There was not a road leading through . this land because no one cared to go there. In fact, the college professors purchased a tract of land that the owner was more than glad to sell, and there were numerous kill -joys who said that noth Ing could ever come from such an investment. But the last few years have wrought great changes in that piece of land. Prof. F. W. Hensel of the landscape art department laid out the plans for the lots. Members of the civil engineering department aided in surveyiing and planning a roadway. The swamp was cleared. A dam was erected, which held the water that had been seeping away and a beautiful lake was the result. A spillway was made to take care of the overflow. Soon afterward in rapid succession the houses were built. The financing of the building was done through a co- operative arrangement, by which the funds were part into what was known as the College Park Housing Corporation. This was for mutual benefit and not for profit. The corporation would finance a man in building his home and then he repaid the money in small monthly payments. However, later the demand for homes far exceeded the supply of funds and various building and loan associations offered their services. In some instances homes were put up through such aid. The land which has not been sold is held by the College Park Corporation, headed by Dr. F. B. Clark and composed of all the residents of the community. The proceeds from the sales go into the housing fund. Lots are never sold for speculation and each individual who wishes to buy must show that he is purchasing with the intention of building a home for himself. When a home owner leaves, which occurs more fre- quently in college communities than in other places , his house is sold for hicn through the housing corporation. Ideal Community Life. The community life at College Park is as interesting and refreshing as the homes themselves. People reside there who were originally from all parts of the United States. There are some from the East, many from the old South, a few from the great Northwestern and Middlewestern. States, and, of course, there are many Texas. Because the settlement is yet quite young, its native -born residents are too few and too small to be counted as a definite group. Foreign countries are also represented among the families who live in College Park. The Rev. C. P. Hancock, the college Presbyterian minister, who owns a home in College Park, resided in China twenty years as a missionary. While they are American citizens, several others claim foreign countries as their birthplaces. On the whole there is a cosmopolitan atmosphere in the community. There is a great variety of social life aand the community is conspicuous for the absense of those examples of neighborly strife which usually accompany any group of people living close enough together for the children and the chickens to become mized up. There is little cause for jealousy because the incomes are all approximately the same and the people are too busy and contented to indulge in imaginary grievances. Among the forty families who now reside in College Park all branches of the A &M College are represented. Many Interesting Homes. Perhaps the most outstanding home of the community is that recently built by Dr. F. B. Clark, head of the department of economics. This is a large old English house with a many - gabled roof. From the old -style lantern which lights the entrance, through the entire house, the furnishings are consistently old fashioned. There are large square wooden doors, with immense metal hinges and heavy casement windows. The furnishings are antique. The dining room, which has occasioned much local interest, has a decoration of brown painted ships upon the cream background of the wall. The table and chairs are painted green and brown and the dishes are of green willow -ware. The decoration of this room was done by Miss Marie Haines, a sister of Mrs. Clark, who is a well -known artist. The log cabin, with its chinked walls, stone fireplace and slate roof, is also in "Exibit A" and comes in for its share of attention as one of the show places, especially as it has the added feature of being steam - heated throughout. Other attractive homes are owned by M. M. Daugherty and R. R. Lancaster of the extension service, Professor Drink Milner of the agricultural department, who is the son of a former. president of the College; Professor Robert Smith, one of the old- timers of the mathematics department; Dan Scoates, head of the department of agricultural engineering; Professor Guy Aduiance of the horticulture department; P.D. Hammond, assistant librarian of the College; C. W. Burchard of the chemistry department and many other prominent men of the A &M College. The problem of buying a home and at the same time feeding a growing family has puzzled men with larger incomes than that of a college professor, for whatever compensations the business of educating young Americans may have, few teachers become uncomfortably wealthy. College Park, an experiment in home building, how- ever, has solved this problem for the professors of the A &M College of Texas. 3 Wein I lleffe claimed Erect ere on Ideal Works of RT. wttlement • the hap- oblem in echlinleal !ally and <4; so far as uncerned. • ed small • • campus to heads 1 , members t these ...• .

All . w i� t k s Owners open iistoricCS to pubic By JODY BATES Special to the Eagle N eighborhoods traditionally have played an important role in the decision to purchase a home and it was no different for the Stropps and Pruitts of College Station. Their homes, along with many others, will be part of the upcoming Brazos Heritage Society Homes Tour, to be held Feb. 11 and 12 from 1 -5 p.m. "We bought the neighborhood first, then waited until the right house came along," said Buzz and Katy Pruitt, who live at 900 Park Place. The Pruitt home was built in 1939 by Col. Orva E. Beezley, a professor of mili- tary science and tactics at Texas A &M. The home was unusual in that it had no closets. Mrs. Beezley, who was from France, prefered to use armoires or wardrobes. Later owners added closets. To remind her of her homeland, Mrs. Beezley planted sycamores in the yard. Buzz Pruitt, a professor of health edu- cation, and Katy, who has her doctor- ate's in educational psychology and works at the Center for Alternative Programs with Bryan ISD, moved to College Station from Virginia 10 years ago with their three children and bought the Beezley home shortly there- after. They fell in love with their neighbor- hood and neighbors. "We have had an annual caroling party for the neighbors 10 Christmases now," explained Katy. When the house came on the market she was attracted to the long austere liv- ing room with well - proportioned fire- place. Buzz Pruitt liked the corner built - in cabinet in the dining room. "We have always liked older, estab- lished neighborhoods with the diversity of owners' ages and various styles of homes," said Buzz. "Our antique golden oak furniture, all family items from grandparents or great aunts, just look right in this home," explained Katy. Living up the street about a block are John and Diane Stropp who echoed the Pruitt's sentiments about good neigh- bors. "The history of the house was an important feature, but the fact that we knew the neighbors on both sides was a deciding factor," said John and Diane Stropp of their recently purchased and renovated home at 1006 Park Place. The Stropps fell in love with the histo- ry of their home, which was moved off the Texas A &M campus by E.E. McQuillen in 1939 during his tenure as secretary of the Association of Former Students. Before that, the house served as home for Corps Commandant Col. Issac Ashburn. John Stropp, a Class of '66 corpsman, is vice president and treasurer of the Texas A &M Development Foundation. When he learned the big, two -story home that overlooked activities on Simpson Drill Fields during the first bonfire, the appearance of President F.D. Roosevelt, the filming of "We've Never Been Licked" and countless Aggie reviews was up for sale, he was thrilled. "It has 49 big, double -hung windows. I like lots of natural light," said Stropp, as he stood at the top of a dual staircase. One leads up from the entrance of the house, the other from the back of the kitchen. The Stropps turned the under - stairs space into a tiny guest washroom, Eagle photo /Jody Bates John Stropp shows off the McQuillin- Stropp home, former located on the A &M campus. painted to look like a colorful glass pot- ting shed. The Lancaster house at 303 Dexter and the house next door at 305 Dexter, the Clark -Arth house, also will be on the tour. These two -story homes were built in the 1920s. Tickets are $5 now, or $7 at the door. For more information, call Pat Hiler at 823 -2272. I s r I c tour le(, 5,igg5 By DAVID HOWELL Eagle staff writer It was as if time stood still. Turn -of- the - century silver cutlery, antique furniture and toys from a bygone age all were on display at two neighboring homes just south of Texas A &M's campus. Lancaster House at 303 Dexter and the Clark -Arth House at 305 Dexter were part of this past weekend's Brazos Heritage Society's historic homes tour called "The Classics of Early College Station." The annual tour also took in the Beezley- Owen- Pruitt House at 900 Park Place and the McQuillen- Stropp House at 1006 Park Place. The Spanish colonial -style Lancaster house was built in 1937 and is still inhabited by members of the Lancaster clan. The house was built by Robert Roy and Erma Lancaster, who moved to College Station from their native Fort Collins, Colo., in 1921. Robert Lancaster, who worked in the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, and four other college associates bought 85 acres about a block from Texas A &M. Together they developed College Park, the first residential area outside the uni- versity's borders. The land cost just $85 an acre. "No one thought anyone would ever want to live off-campus," said grandson Brad Lancaster, who helped give house tours to more than 200 people Saturday. The Lancasters lived in a tent while they were building a garage for their only vehicle, a 1917 Indian Chief motor- cycle with sidecar. They then moved into the garage while the house was under construction. The house's main claim to fame is and Margaret Duncan Mimms — all have A &M buildings named for them. Last year, 600 people completed the historic homes tour, helping raise $5,000 for the renovation of the Carnegie Library in Bryan, said the society's Karen Hadaway. The library and a community history project are slated to benefit from this year's proceeds, she added. that Kathy Grant, who later married crooner Bing Crosby, once stayed there as the guest of an Aggie. William and Mary Lancaster now own the family property. "I'm just happy College Station has some history, even if it isn't as old as Bryan." Mary Lancaster said. "We've lived here so long and we wanted this area to have its recognition." She said it was one of the few times the tour has focused on College Station, mainly because few homes in the city are more than 50 years old. Next door, at No. 305, lives the Lancasters daughter, Laura Arth. Arth bought the angular house in the early 1980s. It was built in 1924 by Frank Clark, an A &M economics professor who lived in the house 50 years. Clark later forayed into politics, losing a 1948 U.S. Senate race to Lyndon B. Johnson. The distinctive Northern Gothic abode features six -inch pine floors, fab- ric- covered walls, small fireplaces and Victorian walnut bedroom furniture. "(The tour) is a neat experience," Arth said. "This is an unusual home; this house has more of a Northern design to it — angled roofs, a cellar and a basement." Arth and the Lancasters live on a street of considerable local achievers: four people who lived on Dexter — Pinky Downs, Dan Scoates, Pat Olsen Heritage Society plans tour of 4 historic homes in CS The Brazos Heritage Society's 1995 Historic Homes Tour will be held Feb. 11 and 12, from 1 -5 p.m. This year's tour will be entitled "The Classics of Early College Station." The tour will feature four homes that have qualified for a his- torical marker from the city of College Station. The four homes will be: •the William and Mary Lancaster home, 303 Dexter St. This Spanish colonial home, built in 1937 by the present owner's father, was adapted from a design found in an issue of Better Homes and Garden. The home is located on property that was developed by the Lancaster family into several home proper- ties. The property now has five generations of Lancasters associated with it. • •The second home, 305 Dexter St., is owned by Laura Arth, the daughter of the Lancasters. The structure, built in 1924, reflects its Northern Gothic design with many gables and dormer windows. Arth has made every effort to furnish the home with period furniture and au- thentic decorating items. •The home at 900 Park Place, owned by Buzz and Katy Pruitt, was built more than 50 years ago by Col. Orva and Loetitia Beezley. It is one of the first homes built off the Texas A &M campus and was one of the earliest in College Sta- tion. This home reflects the unpretentious style of life characteristic of the military aca- demician of the late 1930s and 40s. "The Bull's House" at 1006 Park Place. The home was built in 1916 • and was originally located on the . present site of the Memorial Stu- dents Center, where it served as housing for the Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. The American Four Square was moved to its pre- sent location in 1951, but still re- mains "The Bull's House." It has since been restored, by its present owners, John and Dianne Stropp. Tickets may be purchased at the Arts Council, Cashion Cain, Cor- ner of Time Antiques and the Gazebo Antiques. Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door. Tickets will also be sold at each home dur- ing the tour's hours. Call 268 -ARTS for more infor- mation. All proceeds will be used for historic preservation in Brazos County. ti v h r Hood Ntr►c a park - (hour arison Perk ty £ 0 SDu+h Si 4.e .f n i �l,l.4 ooya, 1'n e�", 0 ' G1, Conte ga )-li cv t'n o r cLI O ISA ty 10 rve.50 - °c, - lie aPea - b Lead ylo tob-hola6 -s- 2l u; r) Su.s e t- sfi e9'b., - me - f 0. a PC 40 �le Ce■PC , 1eGSC(' htiuueCL a► ►oo y — ° ° c Barr l oh , 4 f) B rii 6.03.
