YOU can't afford to end out of town for your printing.
Your prosperity depends on the patronage given you by
local people. If you send out of town for your printing you
need not be surprised when local people send away for
goods in your line. Druggists who patronize Dallas print-
ers or grocers who have their bills printed in Galveston
are not loyal to home industries and have no right to kick
when their rightful customers trade in Chicago or St. Louis.
THE BULLETIN is a local institution uses its columns to
boost local enterprises does not accept the advertising of
mail order houses and will expect the patronage of local
merchants and business institutions giving in every instance
as good work and as low prices as any outside printing house.
Look over your stationery and see how much of it bears
the imprint of a Dallas Fort Worth Galveston or San
Antonio printing concern.

Stella "Williamson was

she lives on the Knickerbocker road

obtained by selling fish. The old re-

clothes and practically all the money
that came into his hands was put
away for safe keeping.
It was about fiften years ago when
Fisherman Jake gave up his trade of
stone-cutting' and began fishing for a
living. He liked the lonely life and
very seldom sought the company of
his former acquaintances and compan-
ions. It was weeks and sometimes
months before anyone would -see him
but nobody ever felt alarmed for his
safety. Although little Is known of
his career prior to the time he took up
his abode in Angelo it is thought that
he was an old war veteran either In
the United States or in the country
from whence he came Russia Hol-
