THE CHISUMS
“In business, three things
are necessary, knowledge,
temper and time.”
The Chisums are noted for
these qualifications.
Mr. and Mrs. James Jack-
son Chisum have been in
business in Howe for eight
years.
They are the owners of the
Howe Grocery and Dry Goods
Company.
James Chisum, an experi-
enced groceryman, was the
manager of one of the largest
grocery firms in the United
Sates in entering his 30th
year of experience in the
grocery business, coming to
Howe from Dallas. He is a
native Texan, born in Bowie,
He attended schools in Texas,
Oklahoma and Colorado.
He served in the navy dur-
ing World War II.
He demonstrated his know-
ledge when he married Miss
LaVerne Baxter, daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. Z. H. Baxter
of Denver, Colorado. She has
become his most capable part-
ner in business. Mrs. Chisum
is coowner and manager of
the dry goods department of
the Chisum company-
She has added to those
necessary qualifications for a
successful business, know-
ledge, temper, and time;
charm and tact. Her depart-
ment, which works in close
harmony with that of her
husband’s, is a growing
business.
She features the best mer
chandise in an attractive
setting. Her merchandise, so
carefully selected, meets the
needs of a discriminating
community.
The Chisums have been
married 28 years. They have
a son, Jack, who is in business
in Tom Bean; a daughter,
Lorna, who is a senior in
Bethany College, Bethany,
Oklahoma; and two grand-
children, Keith and Kim.
The Chisums stand for
progress in the commnutiy.
They support all civic projects
church, school and clubs for
the betterment of Howe. They
are members of the Church
of the Nazarene.
The Chisums like Howe,
and Howe likes the Chisums.
A TRUE STORY
It was during the busy
Christmas shopping rush,
when a young couple came
into the Chisum Dry Goods
Department, and the young
man asked to see Christmas-
gift wear. The young woman

BULLDOG BOOSTER
CLUB
We havn’t heard much of
the Bulldog Booster Club
iately, but you ought to go
out and look at our High
School football field. They
have hauled from Dorchester
some twenty loads of rotted
cotton burs and are fixing to
spread them out on the
ground and plow then in and
then smooth it out and set
bermuda sprigs where there
is none and have a good sod
by next fall so that the boys
won’t have to play in the mud
next fall.
There are some other things
“cookin’ ” but let’s wait and
see what these boys are up to.
Sportswise Howe is in for
“coming out of the kinks.”

FLYING TRIP
Alvin Keele, who has been
a soldier of the American
Army in Viet Nam, was dis-
charged when his enlistment
expired and on Tuesday, Jan-
uary 26th he borded a p*ane
to fly home and landed in San
Francisco on Tuesday the
26th. The catch came in that
When they crossed the inter-
national date line late Tues-
day evening it was still Mon-
day on this side so, the next
day when they landed it had
now become Tuesday here
it was then Wednesday in
Viet Nam.
Anyway Alvin is home and
we hope to get some first

tions in that far away land
on the other side of the earth.
