Is The Small Town Merchant Losing Out?
Of late a great many Texas editors have been asking that ques-
tion. They ask it in all seriousness: they are genuinely alarmed
about the survival of the small town. y
To the small town editor, who sees hir townsmen purchasing
too much, and too often from nearby cities, it is a senous matter.
Everybody seems to take out, nobody seems to put in—and that s
a dangerous condition, whether it be in a crossroads village or a
dty where seventeen railroads and ninety-six steamship lines rub
elbows. ' •
As a matter of fact, ly far-sighted city endorses any movement
which threatens the prosperity and progress of the small towns
which dot its hinterland. The big dty is the most dependent and
helpless of all political subdivisions. Its arteries are rooted in the
towns and villages which suround it, and, when these towns and
village* are ill-nourished, the dty, too, is pretty certain to wither
and decay.
~ Ths greatest enemy of the small town is not the nearby dty:
citizen who -learned that the only hwv —
dred-. »r i» the dolk. — *•' ,.«,>nver, strange
M it may seem, the worst offender frequently is the small-town —
merchant who neglects to practice what he preaches.
„ For an apparent saving of a few cents the thousandjyeces, there
~ are ala astonfenwtg' TVumber of. small town m(*rtnams who —
terhead* and envelopes from the cut-rate printers of distant dtie*.
Doe* that dollar come home to roost? It does not. Does the ouvof-
to.yn, printer's employee spend his >hare of that dotiar with^ the^
hSrAet&wn merchant.' He does not. Does the out-of-town printer
himself contribute to the home-town improvement program He
doe* not. Doe* he bank hi* profit with the home town bank? Agjjyi,
he doe* not.
If home-town people would develop a sense of home town loy- #
alty, all this talk of the "small town losing out" would be the
emptiest tort of prattle There never was a time when so much op-
portunity for development and growth was offered enterprising
communities. Texas' only glass -factory is located in a relativrh-
. small town, as are her two great sugar refineries; in point of toct,
high tension lines for the transmission of electric power have wip-
ed out the small town's disadvantages and emphasized its attrac- -
tions.
The only thing that can kill a good, small town is the indiffer-
ence of its ddxena.'
Now retiring as governor, he has
led a busy life as a physician in a
northcast Georgia farming section.
For decades he practiced medicine and'
carried on numerous -business enter-
prises. Late in life he was elected
governor of the state, and has held that
office for four years.
Georgia took a decided step in the
psychological examination of crimi-
nals during the past, year when the
