DEAD-RRATrsM.
Moss-backism, Land Lords
and Brick Blocks.

~ - 1tOSN0s
20 THE rEoPLE OF WACO:
DO you know "dead beatP"
DID you ever see onep A few
years ago | saw very suggestive
picture: A COW was lying down.
A big boy was creeping up with his
wood sleigh to tie onto the cows
tail. That fellow was "dead
beat" We have them in Waco.
They are seen collecting their rents
on brick blocks and houses, vet
never give one dollar to help the
town move forward or help the ten.
ants trade grow better. "NIoss-
backism and Dead.beatlsm" are
twin brothers. The moss.back is
the worst dead beat in town. He
has his sled tied onto some cows
tail; wants to ride at the other fell
lows expense. If he has any re-
pairs they go undone unless he can
paint or carpenter himself. He
reads his neighbours newspapers and
complains that our home papers are
no good.
If he wants anything he sends
away from Waco. Oar printers,
our papers, our mechanics, our
wage earners, our merchants, our
medicine, our waterfall are not
good enough for this Moss.BACK,
DEAD BEAT. This dead beat, moss.
back stands on the street corners
{ when not collecting rents) and
talks down prospective factories, or
any public enterprise; finds fault
with the men who are the pushers
of Waco. Thinks our hotels are
very poorly kept because he is not
invited to eat FREE. Don't sup.
pose this dead beat, moss back is
poor. Ga, no. He owns brick
stores and maybe blocks. He col
lects rents from his tenants and
then, if he spends a dollar, hunts
some about to burst or bankrupt
stock to buy what he wants, if he
cannot wait to send away from
Waco to buy it. He is CURE to
hunt some cows tail, asleep, to tie
his sled to. This dead beat rides
on, yes! he always rides but at
some other fellows expense.
We saw an article a few days ago
like this "Mr. So.and-so had a
big blowout in New York. The
flowers alone cost $40, 00O." Then
the writer moralized ON this great
sinful extravaganza. Now we say
this $4,000 was Justly spent. 1t
went into the hands of many wage
earners; filled many hungry mouths.
Men. who have money ought to
spend it. We have men in Waco
who ought to pay out more for
factories and more to help Waco.
LIBERALITY is death to deadbeatism
and mossbackism. Let US help
kill both in Waco. The Waco
Trading company will give as much
to kill and bury mossbackism and
deadbeatism as any firm in Waco
and can furnish your home from
kitchen to parlor, cash or easy
j. w. RIGGINs,
Prop. Waco Trading Co.
