Says Ooi. Dique Collins in the
Wise County Messenger: “After you
have visited the local stores, you will
have plenty of time to go out of
town for your purchases. We have
yet to see the city merchant who
has ever contributed one penny to
the up-keep of Decatur and Wise
County schools, churches, business,
and public roads Patronize the man
to whom you go when bad luck
overtakes you, when you are seeking
contributions and help for an un-
fortunate neighbor."
Such advice may be applicable
to Denton citizens, however, we be-
lieve that Denton people, us a
whole, are more loyal to the lo-
cal institutions, business of every
kind, than are those of some other
cities we hear about. It's not only
proper, but It’s good business, to
buy the things you need and can
right here from your home mer-
Chante and manufacturers. There's
no telling when they will be in posi-
tion to help you, and, in fact, they
do help you every day of the year,
as they not only pay you or your
friends wages, or they they buy di-
rect from your business, or they
buy from some other merchant
whose clerks and officials are buy-
ing from you. Every person that is
employed in Denton is potentially
a customer of Denton institutions.
