A HARDY AND MORE PROS
l*EROl T S FORT VALLEY
Wo ask the question: What will
increase the prosperity and industry
^ Va "ey?
In my estimation, we must keep
our money at home. 1 can’t ee that
we gain much to work as we do for
th,! thin S s we “re striving- if
we put our. money elsewhere. We
,,ut our wbtde heart, soul, mind and
body, into our work for anything for
1 ort ^ “ w, ’ r '< diligently and
untiringly, leave home and every
tb ' nK ,lM ' 10 wor * { lor OL,r Hue and
inU . rpriKin(f city . But When we need
a dr<:AS or “ P air of » ho ‘ s "<■
times go elsewhere to get it.
People of Fort Valley, wake up!
0pen your eyes Are you asleep?
,J on't you know we need your money
here? 0ur merchants art . paying,
cense and need and expect your trade.
And the more industry we
here the more praise and credit we
Why, some of our old residents go
elsewhere to purchase nearly every
thing they wear; and when they are
asked, “Oh, where did you get so and
so?”- "Ill ’’ is the proud an -
wer. Why not answer proudly, “In
Fort Valley.”
I want to tell you something, I
have lived in Fort Valley for some
time and in some way have found
practically what I wanted or needed.
Sometimes I have to call on all our
merchants, hut I have always found
something that was very near what
I wan looking for, near enough any
, way to .substitute.
All of us are earning our living in
F 0 rt Valley absolutely depending on
I cur public- organization for our .sue
cess and prosperity. We have our
merchants, our printers, our pre.ss
ers, our bankers, our garages, our
bakers, o u r photographers a n d
everything we need to make a suc
cessful town, all who are paying li¬
cense in Fort \ alley. Why not do all
in our power to keep them here? If
we patronize them, we make them
successful, therefore they stay in our
town. We need them. Let us keep
I the money in circulation at home,
j An<1 our People to live among
us - Support our own industries.
If we would add this to our hard
j work, we would have a far different
town in a year than we ever dreamed
l of. And until we do patronize at
! least what industries and facilities
i we aave » we must be content to grow
-slowly.
Listen, people. We need what in
! dustry we have. We can’t get along
without them. They are not only a
help to you but your fellow man.
i Why starve it out by giving your
money elsewhere and helping to in¬
crease the prosperity of some other
man’s town? 1 can truthfully, hon¬
estly and wholeheartedly say that
everything I have in this daily walk
of life that can possibly be reached
here is purchased in Fort ;
Who will join me in a pledge to
never buy away from Fort Valley a
thing that can be bought here to the
glory of our own Fort Valley? Here's
for the biggest, finest, most indus
trious and enterprising town in the
state of Georgia! Your in service,
MRS. J. Y. TOMANEK.
