A collage of business sayings and proverbs from Waco to Dallas appears, followed by local notes on football at De Leon and Comanche. The piece previews Thanksgiving games, including Texas and A&M matchups, and cites Brady scouts and a large Dallas crowd expected for SMU versus TCU.
The TCU club is cited as one of seven major football teams in the nation and is listed as the No 2 club in the United States behind Notre Dame. Gustine defeated the Brownwood B team 18-0 at Gustine last Friday.
The Putnam News editor visited Wayne Robertson of Shrum in his home and then inspected a nearby oil well on his land. Robertson said he had long dreamed of success and that the well had been placed on the pump the day before.
A garbled description links a warm day topcoat to an overcoat, mentions a raincoat with a $40 lining, and references jam bracelets marked with swing jargon. It then lists furniture, shoe polish, cosmetics, and rice bran oil as substitutes for waxes and vegetables.
The Comanche post office will close Thursday for Thanksgiving. There will be no rural delivery and office windows will be closed. Outgoing mail will be processed as usual and incoming mail for boxholders will be delivered to boxes when it arrives.
