THE CUNTON CHRONICLE Clinton, S. C„ View* Of Our Readeri Dear Fellow Merchants: The following letter is only one person’s opinion and does not come from a group of per sons or organisation. Being in business myself, I see the po- tenitality of Clinton and sur rounding areas from which we draw our trade. Unless we get busy and do something to keep our custom ers coming to our fair town, we will lose a large part to our ever - growing cities. I am greatly disappointed in the suc cess of our "May Value Days” that we are offering to our shopping areas. Unless each merchant, re gardless of how small you might be does a little promot ing, there might not be an op portunity to expand or offer such values later as you have today. You are the fellow who has to decide whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the fellow who will make up your mind whether you’ll lead, or linger behind; whether you’ll try for a goal that’s afar, or just be content to stay where you are. Take it or leave it, it’s your choice. Just think it over—it s up to you. (Signed) J. C.
