tired and have moved here, permanently from Warner, Oklahoma.

employed by GulHJll Company in Port Arthur. Hugh met his wife,
Jeanne in Port Arthur. They were married, he went to the service,

ABOUT
BARGAINS:
Big City bargains
may look enticing-
but add transporta-
tion cost, all-day
shopping time, and
the "not return-'
able" tag and it's
no bargain. So
shop in Rusk and
save!
The money you spend with our local merchants stays in our community, helping to
make it a better place in which to live. A portion of each dollar you spend in your
home town goes to pay taxes. Thus you help maintain local schools, provide better
streets, better lighting, better police protection. That's why you invest in your com-
munity when you patronise local business. What could be a better bargain?
