The Best
Way of Life
Trade in Levelland
... where your trade supports
prosperity you, too, can enjoy
It depends on what you like, of course. There is the warm neighborli-
ness . . . the dignity and satisfaction of life in a community like ours . ..
and there is life as she is lived in the cities ... as one of the scrambling
herd . . . where neighborliness is viewed with suspicion . . . and squalor
is the lot of anybody who gets pushed aside in the rat race.
Those of us who live here have already voted our preference . . . for the
more tranquil smaller community unit as a way of living. We
like churches where everybody knows everybody else . . . and
schools where we know our children’s teachers . . . and they
know us . . . we like living that is more calm, easier, safer ... and
we like business dealings with neighbors we can depend on.
But happy communities do not just glow . . . they have to be
built. It takes revolving money . . . local trade volume ... to
build and maintain and enrich our chosen way of life.
