For more than thirty years the
Chronicle has been boosting
Teague merchants, business es-
tablishments and civic, religious
and commercial institutions, with
emphasis on the importance to
the community of the home town
business men. Why. Because our
mcivhants and local business men
statid by their home community
at all times, because they are
always willing to lend a helping
hand in the support of every
home enterprise and because they
unstintingly back every move that
has for its purpose the upholding
of the home community where
we, separately and collectively,
are endeavoring to make an op-
portunity to give eur families a
better chance to become worthy
citizens of the world of tomorrow.
It is doubtful whether the citi-
zens of - the=
how valuable the home town mer-
chants are; just how much they
do for the town; and how much
we, as a people, owe to them.
Back of every movement for
the progress, development, ap'd ^ r (
building up of the town are the ,,
home town merchants; and usual- L. . .
ly only the home town merchants.
Others are prone to “pass the
buck” except during the beneficial
showers.
Who contributes most to com-
munity welfare: the church, the
school, to society, to civic move-
ments, to charity, improvements,
Usually tile home town merchants.
Who are the vital forces in
every organization having to do
with community life and improve-
ments? Usually, only the h^me
town merchants.
Who are the first to work for
needed improvements, for better
streets, for a cleaner city, for
city beautification—for the very
things that make us proud of our
home town, In most cases, the
home town merchant.
Who are the first to combat the
things that are injurious to our
community—-to society—to our in-
dustrial, commercial, financial,
and moral life? Usually the home
town merchants.
Who digs into their pocketboojcs
deeper than the home town mer-
chants to support community
Wrnefits? “Day by day in every
way” home town merchants con-
tributing of their time, their en-
ergy and money to make this
community a bigger and better
place in which to live.
It is proper and fitting then,
that we give more than a passing
thought to the debt we owe these
merchants and that we come to
the realization that this debt can
be repaid by giving to them the
trade of our community, a trade
well deserved and rightfully
theirs.
The truth -of the matter is,
home town merchants are selling
goods at, or less, than prices else-
where, and if we will be fair and
include additional expenses incur-
red when trading away—we .are

bound to admit that it is cheaper
to trade at home besides showing
a spirit of reciprocity.
Spend your money elsewhere
and the mercants will be forced to
go out of business and to seek a
new location where more civic
pride and community spirit exists.
And you may be sure that no
other business men will come in
to take their place, for nothing
scares business away like “for
