A MERRY CHRISTMAS
To our friends, our customers
and everyone
This space we devote to acknowl-
edgement of the grateful good
wishes that are due from this store
to its customers who have been in-
dulgent and generous. To the com-
munity at large in which the high
standards of living have made it ,
very pleasant to do business through- :
out the many years we have been *
here.
A Merry Christmas to each and
every one.
Mr. Rayburn Offers
For Re-electkn
-t
In lip Star-Courier today will
found the announcement of Hon. Sam
Rayburn, oi Bonham, presented as
candidate to succeed himself as a rep-
resentative in Congress. lie has rep-
resented the Fourth Congressional Dis-
trict taithfully for several terms, and
his attitude and votes on all public
questions have been such as to inspire
the confidence of his constituents and
generally have met with their approval.
No siAisible man expects a public ser-
vant always to do and say the thing he
would do or say himself. But he ex-
pects a public servant, to be honest,
conscientious and fearless in the dis-
charge of his public duties. He also
(expects the servant to be of ability to
distinguish right from wrong, These
qualifications are ail generally and j
justly attributed to Mr. Rayburn. So
well has he met. expectations, one nev-
er hears him criticised, but frequently
commended. He has Keen faithful in
the past—the besf pWtsible guarantee
that he will be'faithYul in the future,
if re-elected.
The next few sessions of Congress
will be among the most important in
history on account of the universal un j
test and agitation. We shall need!
good men to sit in authority. We j
shall want brains, honesty and cour
age. We shall want those who havei
been tried and tested. The general
feeling is that Mr. Rayburn meets
these requirements, and he will there-
fore make a good race, having many
staunch and loyal supporters.
Still selling lumber at the. same
small profit that we always did.
1’herefore it is to vour interest to
buy from us.

ever to give good servic t.
We wish you, one and
