UNITS or VALUE Every store, bank or business institution of any kind in Boone is a unit of material value in the growth of this community. Each legitimate enterprise contributes its proportionate share in the prosperity of Boone. Jtiow strong these units will be depend upon the patronage that is given them locally.

Ev ery dollar spent here at. home encourages the local business man to increase his service and enables hirn to carry a wider selection of merchandise.
