SIXTY-FIRST YEAR
Shreveport Firm
Purchases Allday's
Furniture Store
|
Sale of the Allday Furniture
Company to the Hemenway-John-
Furniture Co., Inc., of Shreve-
was confirmed yesterday.
The stock of merchandise, ac-
counts and notes receivable and
store fixtures of the Allday Furni-
ture Company were bought by the
Hemenway-Johnson's and tne
Shreveport company signed a three
years lease on the Allday furniture
store building on Hiram street, di-
rectly across the street from the
Citizens Journal.
Announcement of the trade was
made by Frank Hemenway, Jr.,
president of the Hemenway-John-
son company.
"We have been anxious to obtain
a store in Atlanta for several
years," Mr. Hemenway said. Many
residents of the Atlanta trade area
have been valuable customers of
jMemenway's and Johnson's Shreve-
stores." (The Hemenway-
Johnson interests in Shreveport
were merged in June of last year.)
"We know that we can serve our
own customers in this part of the
Ark-La-Tex area better by having
a store in Atlanta and we confi-
dently expect to be able to merit
the patronage of many hundreds of
new customers."
"Hemenway-Johnson's, through
tremendous buying power is able
to offer home furnishings and ap-
pliance buyers rock-bottom prices,
and our strong financial set-up en-
ables us to offer extremely liberal
terms of payment," Mr. Hemenway
continued. "We sincerely hope the
people of this community will wel-
come us and we promise to do our
full part in every worthwhile com-
munity enterprise.
"We have confidence in the sound
future of Atlanta as the shopping
center for a rich trade area. We
believe Atlanta will continue to
grow and we are going to do our
part to help it."
Mr. Hemenway said that all of
the present employees at Allday's
would be continued in the stores
services. Howard Frizzell from
Hemenway-Johnson's Alexandria
La., store has been transferred to
Atlanta as store manager.

To The People of
Cass County
I want to express my deepest ap-
preciation to the people of Cass
County for the support given me
in the first Democratic Primary,
Saturday, July 27th. Since I was
fortunate enough to receive enough
votes to place me in the Second
Primary, August 24th, I am now
making another earnest plea for
your support and influence. It has
been, and still is my desire to see
every person in Cass County to so-
licit your vote and influence. Your
sympathy and encouragement has
been appreciated,. Having made
the race once before, if I am not
successful this time, this will likely
be my last chance. Won't you
please consider my claims, and give
me due consideration when you go
to cast your vote on August 24th?
Again, may I say, THANK YOU
for every kind word that has been,
or will be spoken in my behalf, and
if I should be elected to serve you
as your Assessor-Collector, I pro-
mise to put my whole soul into the
work, and will assure you, that you
will never have to regret having
supported me.
Your friend,
NAY BARKER
Candidate for Tax Assessor-Collec-
tor.
Card of Thanks
I wish to take this opportunity
to express my heartfelt apprecia-
tion for the loyal support given me

eration of everyone.
Respectfully,
J. P. WARREN

pressing to the people of Cass coun

ning mates. I deem it a distinct
honor to have made the race along
side of them. I wish for the peo-
ple of Cass county everything
good.
Yours for Better Government,

county representative. I cheerful-
ly congratulate Mr. Hileman and

O'Daniel Vote
Exceeds Total
He Got in'38
Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel has ex-
ceeded the vote he received in
1938, the Texas Election Bureau
compilation showed Monday night,
accounting for 1,077,465 votes gath
ered from 251 of the 254 counties,
including 144 complete.
The Governor's vote of 577,492
was 52.5 per cent of the vote and
77,519 more than was received by
his six opponents. Railroad Com-
missioner Ernest O. Thompson, the
runner-up, was 346,307 votes be-
hind the Fort Worth flour sales-
man with his 231,185 total.
In 1938 O'Daniel won in the first
primary with 573,166 votes, or 31,-
345 more than twelve opponents.
Votes accounted for by the elec-
tion bureau already have exceeded
the 1936 first primary total of
1,053,177, and will soon pass the
high mark attained in the first pri-
mary of 1938, of 1,114,885 ballots,
bureau officials predicted.
The primary Saturday marked
the third time that the Texas vote
has exceeded the 1,000,000 mark.
Olin Culberson passed Pierce
Brooks in the Railroad Commis-
sion race, after Brooks had held
the lead from late Saturday night
and through Sunday. The margin
was only 340 votes, however, and
Brooks could easily regain first po-
sition. Culberson and Brooks will
be in a runoff.
II. S. Lattimore continued to hold
his lead over James P. Alexander
for Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. These two men will settle
this race in the runoff Aug. 24.
Of the 251 counties reporting,
O'Daniel led in 239 of them.
Thompson captured ten and Hines
two. Eleven were in far West and
Southwest Texas and the twelfth
was the Governor's home county of
Tarrant, where complete returns
gave Thompson a 108 vote plurality.
Others in which Thompson led
were Brewster, Culberson (by one
vote, 73 to 72); Elpaso, Hudspeth,
Jeff Davis, Loving, Real, Sterling,
and Terrell. Hines captured Bris-
coe and Starr.
The vote in the Governor's race
and the two state contests to be
decided by runoffs follows:
Governor—Condron 2,101, Davis
3,765, Ferguson 92,701, Hines 113,-

all the family and friends who were
not present. The tables groaned
under the load of golden brown plat
ters of fish, accompanied by every
suitable dish for a picnic-lunch,
plenty of coffee and iced tea, and
all the trimmings.
The entire afternoon was spent
in playing games on the playground
and dancing in the pavillion, cli-
maxed at sun down, when most of
the crowd took a swim in the Park
Natatorium.
Everyone left wishing that every
day could be a day of reunion.
