- a kt tie aniu
.-ing to
know that a large number of city peo-
ple drive to Ballinger because it 's 'he
be<1 place to buy while there are some
'that live in 'he Ballinger area that go
to the city thinking thnl-4-hat is the
best place to buy.
It seems that somebody is wrong
onw wav or the other anti I don't think
that it is t,he city folks; who come to
Ballinger AL least they get out of tne
hhstlc ami bustle of crowds and away
from the impatience of sales people
that want to wait on the next customer^
that is waiting right at your elbow.
Abd more th;U that,’ it would be
hard to find an article that cannot be
found in Bullinger. If sou can t find
it, then lhere are several merchants
here that would go to a lot of trouble
to get it 1’uO'uu. . _________
