M
boast. But as it is no longer a
personal matter, I desire to call |
the attention of the business men
and our readers to the fact that
Commerce has the very best’
country newspaper and newspa-
per plant in North Texas. I have
spent several thousand dollars in
equipping it, and as there is no
better index to a town than the
kind of newspaper it sends forth, '
you should take pride in it, en-
courage it, and give it an enthu-
siastic support. It will more
than repay you, however much
you invest in advertising.
To all those who have unvary-
ingly accorded the Journal all!
their business all the time; who
in so doing have enabled us to'
make it what it is and to prosper;
who have always had a word of
encouragement, I feel a deep
and abiding appreciation which
cold type but poorly express, and
in handing the editorial pen to
Mr. Turner. I do so with the in-
terest of the best town in North
Texas at heart as much as ever,
with the very kindliest feelings
for all, and without so much as a
thread of ill will or malice toward
any one.
I thank you all for the prosper-
ity I have had with the Journal.
Nancy McChesney.
