WHY ADVERTISED STORES
ClIrHEEn

The Review will begin in about two
weeks publication of a series Of brief
editorials under the above title. This
subject is treated for two, reasons.
First, recognition is due from us to the
splendid business enterprise Of the
many merchants who use our columns
to promote their business growth.
These men are working not, mere
ly for their own profit, but they are
helping to spread the idea all around
the outlying country that Denison is
a good place to trade in. They de-
serve our support, as the newspaper
that profits by their business initia-
tive. They deserve the backing of ev-
cry citizen who admires wide awake
enterprise and believes it profitable
to the community to help it along. Not
merely do they deserve support, but
the people who trade with them find
it advantageous and profitable to do
so. Some of the reasons, why this is
so will be taken up in this little series
of talks.
Also we beg permission very re-
specially to solicit the interest in ad-
of those of our merchants
who have never felt it necessary to

Dear Aunt:
Il received your letter and was glad

of not hearing from me, but l answered
the last letter that I received from you,

L worked to get where l am. l draw
S44.00 per month now, so have taken
out another Liberty bond. I think these
bonds are a good investment, don't you?
l expect Henry Minter's mother gets
rather lonesome now that Henry is gone

her. We are having fine weather here,
and the nights are cool AS to leaving
