OUR
VALLEY

LET'S TALK SHOP awhile today.
The summer season is on, and
radio reception is more or less pro-
blematical.
Do readers OF the Herald want US
70 continue the publication every
day OF the Associated Press radio
program for that evening?
IL has occurred TO us that the
space occupied by the APP program
could be used more advantageously.
We are a radio fan perhaps just
q little above the average in our de-
votion TO the dial during the even
ing hours, and the difficulty we
have experienced lately In getting
any station out Of the Valley leads
us TO wonder.
You may not believe US. but our
main idea In the publication OF
The Brownsville Herald is TO give
u readers the news and informa-
ton they want.
II you want these national pro-
grams published every day. we'll
publish EN-.
If you are not particularly in
terested during these playful sum-
mer months. well lay off until fall.
May this be considered sufficient
notice that they will be disconti-
nued. effective July ist, unless we
receive enough protests 10 assure
us that Mr.. and Mrs. Reader want
this feature continued.
NOW ANOTHER THING - still
talking shop. Do you. cotton farm
er, and cotton glnner and cotton
buyer. want the Herald TO continue
publication each day Of both the
New York and the New Orleans
cotton market?
Would the publication OF the
New Orleans market be sufficient.
or do you need them both IN your
business?
Understand. we are glad TO give
them both. Buff n would be
enough for your purposes, that
space could be occupied by other
news OF more general interest.
And talking about markets. Is
ANYBODY in the Valley Interested in
the.gain market? And II SO, would
YOU lather have the Fort Worth
grak market than the Chicago?
And does the livestock market
report published by the Herald
every day do anybody any good?
Wed just like to know.
