This outside business will naturally
go somewhere. The merchant in the
smaller town will tell you so; he ex-
pects it. Even Kingsville merchants
will say that the shopper will natural-
ly drift to the larger cities such as
Corpus Christi. Houston and San An-
tonio. Granting this to he so, would
it not be a wise business effort for
Kingsville merchants to keep their
own business at home and at the same
time spread the news that Kingsville
merchants were amply prepared to
take care of the wants of shoppers
from nearby towns,
Sure, they all know Kingsville is
still here. But if some other town is
telling them each day and each week
that there town is also there and fil-
ing it in a most convincing way, it is
but natural that they will go there to
spend their money.

The Record carries, for the conven-
ience of its advertisers, upon its pay-
roll. a special advertising man; it
spends no inconsiderable sum every
rionth upon an advertising service, one
of the best to be secured at any price,
for its advertisers; it has, at great ex-
panse. equipped its plant with a cast-
ing box for the purpose of furnishing
its advertisers with cuts of the latest
and most up-to-date patterns. This ser-
vice does not cost the advertiser one
cent. In other words the Record has
attempted to do its full part in proper-
ly advertising Kingsville business con-
cerns.
Times have changed. Automobiles
have had lots to do with it. Modern
and attractive stores have had more
to do with it. Service on the part of
those who serve customers is another
big item. Price does not cut as big a
figure as it did years ago. Women folks
especially are looking for style and in-
dividuality more than to price. Kings-
ville business men may as well face
these facts if they expect Kingsville to
continue to be a market center for
this particular section
Advertising is another modern ne-
cessity. No business concern can hope
to succeeed today without advertising.
Publicity is depended upon to put over
the largest and smallest of all busi-
ness ventures. Even the churches
have given up to this fact. Physicians,
for hundreds of years adhering to a
code of ethics that forbade advertis-
ing, have at last concluded that they
will have to use printers ink or the
We have tried to issue a readable
paper each week; have tried to make
it typographically perfect and attract-
ive! we employ only skilled mechan-
ics; we spend no little money and lots
of time in an effort to make the pa-
per representative of the town. If the
business men do not care for such a
paper; if they do not want any more
business; if they want to see the mon-
ey that should be spent here, sent else-
where, then we can only say we are
sorry.

hostess at a family reunion in her

reported also, hut in the main the far-

may be harvested.

ever, he is adamantine In adherence
to the principles which he believs to
be right, in representing a client, whe-
ther it has been an individual or cor-
poration or the body politic of the
Sate of Texas, he has been earnest and
and untiring in his determination to
see that right should prevail. We feel
that the people of Texas are extreme-
ly fortunate that a man of this type
is willing to assume the onerous duties
and grave responsibilities of the office
of Attorney General of this State; we
feel confident of his nomination and
subsequent election to that office; and
we feel assured in such an event that
the legal affairs of our State will be in
thoroughly capable and conscientious
hands.
