J Brings Forth the Yield
From small accounts, the large ones grow,
Just keep this in your noodle;
So, start yours now and you will know,
You’re going to have the boodle.
If you are ready we are too,
Then tie to this good bank;
And, as your money grows for you,
In finances high you’ll rank.
The philosophy of thrift is saving now,
To have money when in need;
A bank account is the sure way how,
Just try it,—and you’ll beleive.

A Statement to Our Friends
and Customers
The trend of much business seems to be to the cash
istore, and we will appreciate all the cash business we can
- get, but we believe however that there should always be
".in every community a good service store, where you can
be accomodated by free delivery, benefit of 30 days for
|your purchases. We are building our business on this
Ibasis. We therefore want to solicit your business on these
srms. If it is 15 or 30 days we want it but otherwise we
tould not give the same efficient service and have the
ime clean stock of goods.
Also we want you to order your favorite cut and kind
fresh meat from us with out hesitation, which we will
fcet from the market at no extra cost, as we will many
les procure better goods than you could order and

Jitney-Jungle Opens
Store in Wortham
Saturday Nov. 16
Saturday, November 16, is to
be an eventful day in Wortham.
It will mark the opening of the
first Jitney-Jungle for Worth-
am under the ownership and
personal management of A. D.
Morrow.
The Jitney-Jungle System of
self-Service grocery stores is
not new. It is nine years old
and claims to have revolutioniz-
ed the retail grocery business,
and with their slogan of “Save
a Nickle on a Quarter” to have
rubberized the pocket books of
more than a half million famil-
ies it is now serving in 12
states.
The principal of Jitney-
Jungle operation, according to
A. D. Morrow is no secret. The
franchise privilege provides
what is said to be the most con-
venient and personal shopping
fixture equipment 'in the
world, which by its accessibility
saves the expense of an army
of clerks. The enormous buy-
ing power of the chain is pass-
ed to the consumer. The rapid
turn-over as compared to the
old style grocery store insures
fresh merchandise every day.
The open door policy of the
Jitney-Jungle by continuous
newspaper advertising keeps
tlffe public always informed on
e market trend of all food
products. In short, according
to A. D. Morrow, the general
public becomes partners and
