THE BKflff IDEA,
"BUY IN SHAWNEE" is the right
idea for tho person to follow who de-
sires to see Shawnee grow and pros-
per. This one phrase is a sermon
which offers no opportunity for ad-
verse argument. There can be put
forth no logical reason—not one-
why the people of this city and sec-
tion should go elsewhere for the I
necessities of luxuries of life. There
Is no need for sending money out
of Shawnee for things which can be
purchased here.
The practice of buying away from
home has been worse than a curse
to the people of this section. And
until this practice is crushed under
the foot of a righteous indignation
from our loyal-hearted citizens. |
Shawnee will never be the city it
should be.
Many women refrain from taking
out a car for fear that they may be
caught on tho road with a flat tiro,
which they know they have not the
strength to remove and replace with
modern equipment. Protect them
from tire trouble by equipping your
