THE INFORMER
Do Texarkana Citizens Reall
Appreciate The Informer?
You may not see the news you
expected to see in The Informer of
this issue. We are in receipt of a
letter from the office in Houston
which says in substance that the
people of Texarkana do not appre-
ciate The Informer sufficiently to
take enough of them to justify the
firm in giving to Texarkana the
space it has formerly had in its
news columns, and that it will be
necessary to give the space Tex-
arkana has been using to some of
the cities which are supporting the
paper by a large circulation.
It must be remembered that be-
sides Texarkana there are thirteen
other towns being served in the
same manner. The papers in all of
them have gone up to 72, but it is
only in Texarkana that the putting
on of 2c has had such disastrous ef-
fect. Does it mean that we have
more cheap people than is the ill
fortune of other cities? Or ones the
public think the local manager will
continue to have the paper distri-
buted at his personal expense?
Either way the inevitable has come,
Texarkana which has been giver
unlimited space for its news will be
limited to only a fraction of a page.
It means that news must be re-
stricted, that we cannot say so much
an.’ pay so little, that we have to
slow along and let our purses catch
up with our mouths.
If you are one of those who take
the paper and pay for it you have
no part in the set back that has
come to our paper; if you wait until
some one purchases a paper and
manage to get your hands on it
without paying for it; if you -have
been too cheap to buy the paper you
can say truthfully that you are re-
sponsible for the present set back,
which is a forerunner to closing the
paper down completely. We know
you feel that no one else is quite as
cheap as you but in this you are
mistaken, there are enough of your
kind to ruin the paper.

will exist only as we are able to
develop them. Admittedly, the lot

it is interesting to rrte that a sur-

that chain stores and large con-
