Who Pays The Bills? I
This page is addressed to you, Mr. Farmer. We, the merchants of Camden, take this oppor- II
tunity to thank you for your increasing patronage and at the same time point out a few things
which will show that we are very closely related and entirely dependent on each other. 1 I
' A. town has often been referred to as the hub of a large wheel, and the spokes the many farms ||
that surround it. It has been said that "A chain can be no stronger than its weakest link"? I
and we believe we can aptly say that "The Hub can be no stronger than its weakest Spoke." 11
We often feel that we are as much farmers as you are. While we do not till the soil and |
harvest the crops directy?yet our duties in serving you and supplying your needs bring us I
into close relationship with you and impress on us that we are in a sense farmers, and proud of it. I
No doubt you at times feel the same way as we do and rightly so, because, while you do not |
hand goods over the counter or give service such as only we in a town can give, yet your business, I
that of; farming, makes it possible for a live town like Camden to exist, and you are in a sense, I
, business men the same as we are. I
We want you at all times to find it a pleasure to visit and do business in Camden with Camden- |
