By; EDWARD HEIMAN . iFfl There are a lot of advantages to being in business. For one thing, it gives us an opportunity to meet a lot of nice people. We talk a little . . . listen a little . . . and by and by we find our viewpoint broadening and our opinion Jess opinionated. We hear a lot of interesting things, too. Things we’d like to pass along to all of you because we kntow you’d enjoy hearing about them. So from now on. we’re going to appear in this newspaper every week and really start things buzzing. Don’t fret . . . we’re not going to be political analysts or news commentators. In fact, we’re going to make a point of staying away from such topics. This is going to be a friendly little column, concerned with only pleasant happenings . . . mostly of the “Main Street” variety . . . and with personal observations running the gamut from pathos to humor. . V 1 .Unfortunately, the newspaper is not paying for these literary efforts . . . YET. But we don’t mind that too much. We suppose there is buried deep within us all a desire to write : . . to express ideas and see them in print . . . .and that’s exactly what we’re going to do —regardless of pay. We also plan to take the opportunity to tell you about the lovely gifts we carry here at the DECATUR GIFT CENTER. For Young or Old, for Male or Female, for a Big v or Small occasion, we can suggest something appropriate, and within your budget too. Come to •- IGI S. Second Street today and you’ll be convinced that w r hat we have is what you want! \ ,
