the Opening Of the Fall Term

Abilene Merchants Look Forward to
the Opening Of the Fall Term
Abilene merchants are anxious for
school to start
II had no idea that the schools
and the business Of Abilene were so
closely connected" said Supt. w. A.
Stacey. "A merchant asked me at
the Rotary club the other day when
the fall term opened and said he
would be glad when school com
menced because 1t always meant
better business. inquired Of near
ly a dozen other men Of different
occupations, whether the opening Of
school had any effect on their busi-
and all of them declared that busi-
ness and all of them declared that
business picked up at once when
school opened"
All lines of business seem to feel
the influence Of the schools and the
wheels turn easier downtown when
they're going 'rOund In the city
