Home Industries.
The Progress believe* if every
family in Aransas Pass and Rock-
port will make it a point to give
the home product a fair and im"
partial trial, in future they will use
nothing else. They have a guar-
antee that the goods are freshly
packed, by the experience of liv-
ing in the community they know
that the original product is as fine
as can be grown anywhere in the
world, and by buying the home
product, they not only get a bet-
ter class of goods for the same
price, but at the same time they
are keeping home money at home,
and are giving it a chance to cir-
culate in the home community,
where it will have a good chance
to return again, into the coffers of
the original spender. Patronize
home industries every time, and
give the very energetic farmers
who are packing the tomatoes, a
chance to know that you appre-
ciate their energy in supplying the
market with a better article at the
same price many have been pay-
ing for goods packed in foreign
markets, raised no telling *»4iere,
and packed under doubtful con-
ditions.
