What a Wonderful Rain!
All oí us should certainly feel a lot better now that we've
been so fortunate on this good soaking rain. You know,
we got close to an inch in January and if it keep coming
along we might get this drought broken yet. Every week
it's looking brighter and brighter.
Business Developments
E. J. Hornback sure deserves a pat on the back for his
new building thafs starting up. He's investing quite a
lot of money and has the foresight to be ready to handle
a big increase in business.
Then. Tex Hill has bought the old Toggery building and
will move his floral shop down town. It should be an
attractive addition to our down-town area.
Also understand that there are a couple of businesses
changing hands in the next few days. Am sure I have
the right information but will wait till next week to pass
it on to you. Oh, I nearly forgot, the McMordies have
bought their building from Russell Carver. So. you can
see that the business- complexion is changing pretty
rapidly.
Want to Sell Some Minerals?
I am having a few calls for some scattered minerals in
this area. If you would like to sell a portion of your
minerals at a reasonable figure, let me know and maybe
we can get something done.
Better Get That Home Now
You can still buy you a home way below the market if
you will act now. There's no question but what houses
will cost quite a bit more money by falL Can work you
out some good terms and you'll always bo glad you got
your, home when you did.
