-wA I k it 11 IWr* UMr 'IUW IN DECATUR IN 1933 Welcome Legionnaires OF course we could say, welcome to the finest city in the world. We might believe it, think it, but know that you feel your city is the finest and greatest of ’em all. That’s true patriotism. ANYWAY no city is happier to have you as its guest or more anxious to make your visit enjoyable, than Decatur and Adams Post of the American Legion. /A UR City was named for a great naval hero, Vz Commodore Stephen Decatur, in 1836, and if we interpret his life correctly he did not know defeat. THAT’S the spirit of the Legion. They showed it in ’l7 and ’lB and have not failed in 1933. Ww DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT A COUNTY SEAT DAILY NEWSPAPER FOR THE FAMILY.
