We Thank You
Phone Main 254s

We wish to thank many of our
Tacoma readers for the fine compIi-
ments which they are paying us late
ly and The Enterprise in general.
Many are heard to say that The En-
terprise is better paper than the
big Eastern colored papers, because
it is clean, it is fair and it is inter-
esting. However. we know of some
who do not subscribe or purchase the
paper, but enjoy it by filching from
others who do pay. Never borrow
the paper if you can help it. Papers
can be found for sale at Edson's
Barber Shop and at FIR. j. Brod-
heads Fountain Lunch. We hope
that everyone will continue the good
feeling and pile up their subscrip-
tons. When you fail to get your
paper see the postman first, before
complaining to us. Sometimes your
paper is taken by someone else be-
fore you get to it after the post man
brings it.
