To the Public
Having made Weatherford my home
for nearly five years and having only
once before tried to express myself
publicly (disastrously by the -way) I
am going to ask you to publish this
letter:
During the last two years our most
excellent chamber of commerce has
supported and endorsed a “Buy It In
Weatherford” campaign. I have tried
to give this move my, wholehearted
support and I have never gone out of
town to buy that which I could buy
here. I am sure a majority of our
people have done likewise.
On the other hand I know of some
who buy practically everything out of
town. Now please tell me why these
people, business men with whom I
and others who work for a living must
spend our money will go out of town
_ to secure workmen when there are

TRUCK AND BARN AT
KYLE FARM EAST
BURN FRIDAY NIGHT
The barn and auto truck of Dick
Kyle were burned at his home near
the T. & P. railroad, south of the Pyth-
ian Home, about 10 o’clock last Friday
night. The truck was outside the
barn but was standing close up by the
side of it. The ham did not contain
much feed, but had some tools; har-
ness, etc., stored within, all of which
was destroyed. Mr. Kyle has no idea
how or where the fire originated,
whether it started in the barn or in
the truck. He was in Dallas at the
time, and the fire was too far advanc-
ed to save anything, when discovered
by other members of the family. Mr.
Kyle said that there was no insurance
on the barn and contents, and he was
investigating to see whether there
was any on the truck. He had been
carrying a policy on the truck, he said
but though he was not sure it may
have expired a few days ago. Mr.
Kyle had recently spent a considerable
sum of money in having the truck over-
hauled.
