CHEYENNE WELLS, CHEYENNE COUNTY, COLORADO, THURSDAY, DECEMDER 14, 1922
A Real Christmas Spirit
Probably not for several years
have the Cheyenne Wells mer
chants had such an array of
seasonably merchandise on dis
play in readiness for the Christ
mas trade as they have this year.
A walk along Fenner avenue
convinces one that every retail
dealer in town must have had a
desire early in the season to
supply his store with the best
line of Christmas goods he could
secure from the wholesalers, and
that but little if any difficulty
was experienced in getting all
orders filled. The entire town
has an enterprising appearance
at the beginning of the holiday
season, and the individual mer
chants by their timely window
displays and interior decorations
will surely create a good Christ
mas trade this year, and add
materially to the general holiday
atmosphere by their enterprising
preparations. All the grocery
stores in town have a wonderful
line of Christmas goods for the
Christmas trade, and the finest
fruits and other articles in this
line that can be found any place
in the world are on the shelves
of the Cheyenne Wells groceries.
Bead the big Christmas ads in
this weeks issue of the Record
of the enterprising merchants of
our city.

Esther B. Weir Co. Supt
School Installs Radio
Professor Graves, of the Chey
enne County H. S., informs us
this week the school has installed
a high class radio outfit during
the past ten days and that the
machine is giving great satisfac
tion. The professor is contem
plating the idea of selling tickets
for concerts being received each
Friday evening, which he declar
es are of the very best. We be
lieve the professor’s idea is a
good one. and think that the
people of our city would be pleas
ed to give a fair price for an
evenings entertainment along
this line as it would be clean,
benificial and instructive.
Doing Big Things
Men do big things in dilettante
fashion-they put their whole
selves in their work, making all
else subordinate. They unflinch
|y accept martyrdom. They are
willing to be jeered at—stoned
with words-to suffer with words
to the utmost if thereby they
can spread their ideas. _
The cheap man thinks of busi
ness as an affair of making money
The fine man thinks of it as a
service that demands his all.
If he succeds in establishing his
cause, he gets money, but by
that time the money has become
meaningless to him.
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Jull have
moved into their beautiful new
home in the east part of town.
