A bald headed man sitting in
fiont of a small boy at church,
was scratching the fringe ol his
remaining hair. He kept it up
long enough to attract the little
fellows attention, who leaned
over and said:
Say, Mister, you'll never get
him in there. Why don't you run
him out in the open?"
Thirty-five >years ago <-ur busi-
ness was startee in Anson, Texas
by J. C. Bryant, who to this day
is the senior member of the firm
and active in its management.
The policy of our business has al-
ways been to apply the golden
rule as nearly as human ability
will allow. To do business out
in the open, and by these meth-
ods combined with hard work,
the business has grown from o
small hardware store to eleven
general stores, doing over $2,
000,000 00 business annually.
Mr J. C. Bryant is the largest
stockholder, but many young rav:.
who Parted with the company
and proved themselves worthy of
trust are now stockholders, man-
agers of stores and officials in the'
company, One requirement has
always for the men who manage
stores or departments, they must
be. gooe moral characters, and all
of our head men are members ol
some of the churches, a«d stand
for morals and the upbuilding of
the community in which they live
We believe that a business to
succeed must be built on a so'id
foundation, and the oi tiers giver:
to e^ery clerk is to deal (airly,
try to measure a yard correctly
but give more rather than less,
try to fill the measure just full
but heap it up rather than give
too little: to tell the merit of
their goods but never to misrep-
resent. If we did not think we
could n:u our business and be
truiblul. we would close our doors
and do something that we could
be honest in doing. We have
friends scattered all over the
western part of Texas, and often
have men and committees from
towns where we haven't stores
solicited us to come to their
towns. This we appreciate, for
as we journey this way but once,
we do not want to feel tha* gain-
ing a little money is all there is
to our business, and if we ever
get to that point we feel sure the
one who rules over ali will call
us to halt, for in our weak way
we are trying io serve Him. 1920
has been so tar the greatest vol-
ume of business we have ever
done in Aspermont. We thank
you, one and all for your liberal
patronage, our cash business has
been far the best, and on October
1st, as usual we will ask all our
friends to try and begin to pay
cash for all their goods.
