That Might Be Termed A "Slogan" Of Local

Merchants... And Yet It's More Than "
...Perhaps A "Promise" Would More Nearly Be
What Is In The Mind Of The Boone Storekeeper
As He Makes Preparations To Give You A
Good Shopping Center Here At Home!
That!
Familiar Sight?
Of course this aerial view of Boone is a familiar
sight ! That's why we used it ... we want to
make a point. Isn't just about everything that's
familiar to us taken for granted?
How about your morning toast . . . the water
that flows from your spigot . . . the light that
springs to obey the flick of a switch? Don't
we take them for granted?
The toast . . . the water . . . the lights, they're
all there because someone had faith enough to
spend much money to make them possible.
How about your town ... do you take it for
granted? Do you take your job for granted?
Does local economy make it possible? Did
someone have faith enough to spend money to
create that job? Do we take for granted the
streets we drive upon . . . the schools our chil
dren attend . . . the milkman who comes to the
door . . . the police and fire protection that
are ours? Do we take for granted the druggist
. . . the repair man . . . the merchant down the
street ?
They're there because they had faith to spend
money to put them there . . . and they're in
great measure responsible for most of die
other things we take for granted!
Take them for granted? Take Beone for grant
ed? Never in a million years! Unless we also
take for granted that our acceptance of them
places upon us an obligation to the economic
community that provides them !
