Mineola Melange
With national business ex-
perts predicting ... and past
results confirming ... record re-
tail ousincss. we’ve heard two
Mineola businessmen conf irm
the .'Ume thing. Buford Taylor
said that the pheasants he
served at his cafe Christmas
Day were at least partly respon-
sibh for that being the biggest
single day’s business in his 19
year-'’ experience in the restau-
rant ousincss in Mineola. Wayne
Collins added that last Satur-
days business was the biggest
in Collins' 33 years in Mineola.
That was the opening day of
the store's annual clearance

strawberries ... and, did he ever
tell you about the time he went
into the goat business? All went
well until a “woods goat” got
into the pen with his civilized
goats, and taught them to jump
the lenee. Buford adds he dis-
gustedly sold the goats for a
dollar apiece, then found that
they were in heavy demand and
bringing fancy prices on the
market at Tyler.
We’ve already learned, on
short acquaint anee. that our
new boss is a true newspaper-
man. in that he has the usual
reticence of the members of the
Fourth Estate as concerns men-
tioning himself and his folks in
print We met his parents. Mr.
and Mrs. J. Y. Ilarlc. .of Port
Arthur. Texas, when they visit-
ed the office for a brief time
Saturday night ... and his
mother mentioned that she
never gets her name in the
paper when she visits her
editor-son. That's why we’re
mentioning here that she and
husband visited the Neal Harles
in Grand Saline last week-end.
Meeting a small boy friend of
ours on South Johnson recently,
we thought we detected a slight
hitch in his git-along. so in-
quired how he was. “Boy. am I
mad at Dr. Williams.'' was his
reply. ‘‘Why?’’ we asked. “He
gave me a shot.”

Irving Hirsch says he over-
| looked one item in his Super
Value Day advertisement in last
week’s Wood County Record.
Fact is. he didn't know it until
customers began asking for
ladies’ coats. Equal to the oc-
casion. Irving promptly brought
them out. rut the price and
sold them. too.
“Jambo" says that even if he
does quit working for Mister
Beckham, he ain't never going

R holes.
Harry Miller sold out of dol-
lar shirts in an hour Wednes-
day morning, and customers
loreed their wav into the store
when the porter, opened the
door to sweep the sidewalk in
front of Fair’s.
While Mineola stores were
busy Super Value Day. folks
were complaining in the neigh-
boring bigger town that there
was “nobody downtown". Neigh-
bors have learned to believe
that Mineola merchants always
have something worthwhile for
their monthly sales day, and
they come to get it.
