Shiner’s First Bargain Day
of the Fail Season Attend-
ed By 3000 People
Shiner Bargain Day of last
Thursday was a success beyond
all expectations. Large numbers
of people, about 3,000, were at-
tracted from all the surrounding
territory. The unusual bargains
offered by Shiner merchants, not
only in specials for the occasion,
but reduced merchandise gener-
ally, encouraged much thrifty
buying.
The crowd was the largest in
Shiner in a long, long time. All
stores had been given extra clean
ups and no “shoddy” bargains
were shown. In every line, in
every business house, bargain
prices prevailed throughout the
day and every business firm re-
ported an increased volume of
business. The large crowd seem-
ed more like a home coming
everyone seemed to forget de-
pression for the time being and
really seemed optimistic over the
extremely low prices in merchan-
dise of every description. The

St Ludmilas Academy
Last Thursday afternoon, the
Home Economics class gave a
party. There were only two in-
vited guests. The object of. the
party was to teach the members
of the Home Economics class
how to entertain. After enjoy-
ing vullet a European game, for
a while the class enjoyed a nice
lunch which consisted of sand-
wiches, cookies, and iced lemon-
ade. That all did justice to the
appetizing lunch is the least that
can be said. The guests seemed
to enjoy the impromptu party as
well as the members of the class
who faithfully carried out the
instructions of their Home Ec-
onomic teacher. As one of the
Moulton First State Bank
Closes
% Much regret was expressed in
Shiner over the closing of the
First State Bank at Moulton
last Friday. In conversation with
a Gazette representative, Mr.
Wm. D. Green, Vice Pres, of the
bank stated Tuesday night, that
he was at a loss to know just
why such a run should have
been made. The assets of the
bank were sufficient to off set j
any reasonable demand. Mr. J
Green was looking after business j
interests in the South Plains 1
section of the State, when the
unexpected news reached him.
He immediately chartered an air
plane at Lubbock and flew home.
He states that every effort is be-
ing put forth to protect deposit-
ors from any and all loses.

Paving Completed From
Henkhaus to the Business
Section of Shiner
Company Moves
Moulton
®)i
Shiner appears like a “banquet
hall deserted” this week. The
paving was connected up about
5 o’clock Saturday afternoon
from Henkhaus to Ave. E in Shi-
ner. This will be thrown open in
about two weeks During Satur-
day night and Sunday the “Pav-
ing City” on the railroad right
away, that had swelled our cen-
sus roll for the past several
months, wheeled away to Moul-
ton. The big tonnage machine,
the fleet of trucks, the machine
shop, office, hamburger stand
and “testing office” were not to
be seen Monday. The railroad
sidings and switches reported a
clear track and the town is again
normal. Shiner enjoyed the Am
erican Paving Co. and their large
“town ship” and many regrets
have been expressed over their
departure.
They have left with us “con-
crete” rememberances, that will
live long after they are gone to
build other solid foundations.
Shiner is proud of her concrete
highway- so proud that words
are inadequate to describe the
joy and thrill experienced in a
drive over it.
Business Men s Club Hold
Luncheon Meeting To-day
Members of Business Men’s
Club will meet in regular session
today promptly at 12 o’clock.
This is just a reminder for you
to be present. These meetings
are enjoyable. Different com-
munity interests are discussed
and a friendly relationship is
created among the entire busi-
ness interests of the town. You
may miss some important com-
munity plans by not being pre-
sent to suggest and advise when
these subjects come up for dis-
cussion.
Remember Shiner Bargain
Day originated in the Business
Men’s Club and the protective
Community Chest program was
adopted at one of these lunch-
eons. Come out today. Be on
time.

Miss Edna Bohman, who sus-
tained minor injuries in a car ac-
cident Saturday night, while en
route home from Hallettsville,
was able to resume her studies
at High School Tuesday morn-
ing.
at the meeting reported gas rates
starting at $1.00 gross for the
first thousand cubic feet.
A majority of those present
seemed to think that, in view of
rates else where, a gross rate
starting at 50c with a minimum
rate of $1.00 including service
charge, would be reasonable.
There was in evidence a deter-
mination on the part of the rep-
resentatives to do something to-
ward relieving this burden of
high gas rates.”
