City and county officials back the Rotary Club posterette effort to advertise San Antonio as every outgoing mail piece from city offices will bear six color stamps.

Thieves Try Front Door, Move to Grocery Back Door

A thief failed to force the Prest-O lite station rear door on Travis street and shifted to Nichols Grocery on Avenue C, where he was spotted by Patrolman Clark as a companion fled.
