EDITOR NEws:-If ever | forge, &c
"get the idea for Waco-then you
can tell the people that" higgins is
the very fellow. he talks about"
The citizens Of this town of some
5000 people lost $4,000 by the
failure of the bank of Commerce of
Nashville, Tenn As soon as we were
told of this we said: Good for
themw Here in McMinnville you
have two sound solid s-,home
10 stitutions managed by men you all
know well-all know personally; yet
these men who have made that money
right in this town and right out Of
these people, actually rob this town
out Of $4,000 by sending it away to
Nashville to be used there. Such
men out to lose their money! They
are both thieves and traitors to their
own town, Again McMinnville is
finely situated for manufacturing most
everything-factories here; few are
doing well, yet these men rob the
town by sending sSO,O00 away to
Nashville! When thai money invest
ed in factories would have supported
over 100 families besides paying the
owners we'll Yes, am glad such
men loose their money; 1t does them
good We have few such rascals
in Waco. know Of few men who
have their money on deposit outside
of Waco, and even out side of Texas!
Such men made that money in Waco
and are robbing Waco
Waco banks and Waco bankers are
as solid and honest as any banks or
BANKERS! DO we not know them per.
Do you not know them?
Again Waco factories pay-as we'll
as any other place with the same
and men who have sur.
plus of money should build up facto.
ries-in Waco; or buy large tracts of
land and divide into small lots and
sell to men who could cultivate them.
Two big Fs. MUST make our country.
FACTORIES and FARMING!
The day ought to and will come to
these men who rob their own people
by their failing to do what is their
plain duty! There are men in Waco
this applies to, and Waco people know
them.
AGAIN WE KICK.
There are those in Waco who send !
away for printing, for advertising, for
ron and wood work, for dry goods,
Tor tailor made clothes, both male and |
emale-!or jewelry, carpets and fur
,iture All these are traitors to
heir own town; robblng their own
people. They don't get such things
my cheaper, but simply buy them
rom people they don't know, and
believe any lie these unknown people
ell them. That is just how these
elbows lost their $50, 600; and is the
way Waco looses money every year,
~ fool people who think themselves
'smar,!'
The Waco Trading Co is for Waco
irst, last and all the time. A barber
should not shave me who did not buy
lis leather razor strap from Waco
nan--if he could. j, w RlGGINs.
AGAIN WE KICK.
Whose fault is it that Waco does
rot get the same advertising other
mailer towns get?
