When Are We Well Off?
America is the result of pioneers not knowing when they were wel
off. Risking their lives on the salty deep, starving and racked by
fever, shooting and being shot by Indians, snatching garden patches
out of the wilderness, moving West and doing the same thing over and
over and over again. Why didn’t they stop somewhere? Didn't they
know when they were well off?
When are we well off1 Who can say? Europeans say the American
is crazy, running and getting nowhere. The American answers that
business in America is a game, not a fob; it excites the sporting in
stincts as much as the acquisitive instincts.
If we knew when w'e w ere well off would there be any electric cur
rent, radios. automobiles, or anything that seems worth having1 We
climb and climb; a few of us fall and get up again; a few of us retire
only to find we want to get back into the game again; it is climbing
upward that has put America at the top.
Ingratitude!
The Beacon and News has observed with much pride the booths
donated to the women of Washington county by the merchants cf
Plymouth. 1'hese booths are used for the purpose of making the curb
market more accessable to the people of Plymouth also for the benefit
of the ladies who bring the produce from the farm and offer it for sale
every Saturday morning.
The merchants are due a rising vote of thanks by both the town
and country people, but the country people, or rather some of them,
are to be censured for the ingratitude that they have shown the
home merchants. These booths w/ere built and paid for by the
home merchants, yet, last Saturday, a young lady who had been of
fering produce for sale on the curb market, was seen coming out of a
certain chain store with groceries that her farm did not produce.
Some will say that the booths are not being used yet and the peo
ple are not obligated to trade with the home merchants who donated
them. No one is obligated to trade with anyone else, regardless of
the circumstances. That is. they are not legally obligated, but they
are morally obligated to trade with those who trade with them.
Now' Miss Farmers wife, lets don’t send our money out of Washing
ton county to never see it again. Trade with your home merchants
who are doing their bit towards keeping your taxes down and your
children in school Lets patronize those who patronize us!
