Crystal City, Tex., Sep. 7 1928
We Iiojk* to publish next week's Son
tinel In our now building. The con
tractors have taken more time to com
plete the building than we anticipated,
hut they have done a good job and wo
are proud of the structure. We wish
to thank svery one who has in any
way made it possible for ns to have
our own building and make other
needed improvements, ond we shall!
try to give better service to you.
Crystal City is the best place in the!
world to live. Of course we haven't!
all the modern improvements in the!
way of streets, hotels and a few oth- j
or things, but we are getting them one!
by one. and at a pretty rapid rate.'
But when it comes to a live bustling
bunch of fellows, they are here. It's
u real pleasure to work among a hunch
of fellows who ate full of ix*p and are
really up and doing things. And Crys- j
tal City is getting a rep as having the
livest Chumlior of Commerce in the!
e..untry. Almost every paper we have
on our exchange list has mentioned
this fact during the pust few weeks. !
There is considerable building go- ,
lug on in Crystal City right now and
bus boon for sometime, and a number;
of other buildings under contempla-
tion Put at that, there is a great
scarcity of rent houses. The new peo-
ple who are coming here and those
who would come are having a mighty
hard time finding a place to stay.
Crystal City 1ms one of the tiest
schools in this section and we are alt
[■mud of it, hut the present school
building is soon going to lit1 inadequate.
All the rooms are occupied and some
of the rooms have more than forty
pupils. In some instances two pupils
are having to occupy the same seat.
It is well I , begin thinking about this.
Also there is need of more play ground.
The Sentinel believes the school hoard
should buy the hall park to he used
as a play ground for the school.
The golf tournament held here last
M inlay was a fine tiling for the com-
munity. It brought a lot of visitors
here and our own [icnple girt out and
had a good time. A good golf course
is a splendid drawing card for the
community, and Crystal City now has
a good one. The promoters of this are
to he congratulated.
All and in all Crystal City has much
to boast of besides being the largest
spinach ship] ing point in the world,
the best of till lieing her hunch of real
live wires who are up and doing things.
If you want to join us, come on in,
the water is fine.

years," says S. M. Hurling manager j
of the J O. Penny t o. store in this

"It is the keynote to a successful
city or town, the expression of eonfi ;
denee in the town and its ability to I
meet the* ouinjietition of the rest of!
the United State's.
“The buy-at-home movement is a|
co-operative one, requiring the inter J
esteed help of the local merchant, the j
local residents and the local news-!
papers and other factors in publicity.
“If the townspeople show confidence
in the local merchant, he can, in turn
repay their confidence by carrying a
line of merchandise which will give
them a range of selection and a stand-
ard of vnlue which will equal that to
be found in any city or town within
folding radius.

townspeople to tell them what he has

to offer. Here is where the local
