RIDE 
“Oik* Joy Hratt«ni a hondreo Krteta.” 
—Chlne8« Proverb. 
Your 
Hobby 
Golf is a year-round hobby 
with many enthusiasts. Good 
exercise, healthful and - gives one 
an opportunity for personal 
contacts. 
Here on the Gulf Coast, fishing 
is a universal hobby. A great sport 
for those who indulge. Many are 
the achievements, and often the 
disappointments, when weather, 
tide or bait is not right, and the 
fish refuse to strike. 
Hunting, too, is another king of 
hobbies in this section, where wild 
game is abundant. You can shoot 
deer, bear, turkey, bob cat, 
alligator, or what have we. 
One of our good customers in Georgia wrote us ten years ago: 
“I have gotten a world of pleasure working with my Camellia hobby this 
summer. It beats fishing, hunting, golf and all other sports . . . the beauty about 
it is, you can come back the next day and enjoy yesterday’s game . . . with golf, the 
game yesterday is gone forever, and is only a memory.” 
Speculation is an Exciting S}fobby 
How easy to make or lose a fortune, 
depending on good judgment or lady 
luck. But speculation is not creative. 
Even if you are successful financially, 
one seldom gets a lasting thrill in the 
accumulation of filthy lucre 
“Give fools their gold and knaves 
their power. 
Let fortune’s bubble rise and fall; 
Who sows a seed or trains a flower 
Or plants a Camellia is MORE than 
all!”
