We've (Highland Recorder print shop) just completed an attractive blotter ad for Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Alred of McDowell, who have decided to open their home fully to hunters this fall in an attempt to build a seasonal business. It will be interesting to observe the success of this venture, something we've always advocated as a business that is ready-made for our farm homes. Rather than the hard-nose attitude that hunters are unwelcome, we agree with the Alreds that visiting nimrods should be welcomed and made to feel at home, the surest way to make real sportsmen of them. And it can be a profitable endeavor too.
