Several store keepers patiently allowed their windows to be filled with "hor- sey things" but quiteunderstand- ably balked when a real horse was suggested) The floats were pre- pared in short notice by ener- getic and ingenious people. Many, many people are responsible for the outcome of the "Western Weekend". Mr. Editor, I would like to Present this letter, first as a letter of appreciation to you and your paper and to all those who helped in making such a success possible, and secondly as a chal- lenge for producing a bigger and better "Western Week" in Exeter next September when the Exeter Saddle Club will sponsor their annual godeo. A "rip-roaring Western Week" could put Exeter "on the Tourists' Map". Many people al- ready have ideas on how this could be done, I suggest, Sir, that your paper arrange a mass meeting immediately to "Saddle Up for a Western Weekend". Let's do something different to attract the tourist (and per- haps his dollar) to our fair town. Let's show Calgary what a real "Eastern Exeter Stampede" can be) Thank you D. A. Ecker Advertising Committee Exeter Saddle Club The editor: Last week I went into a local hardware store prepared to spend a considerable amount of money on a wedding present. I had the gift picked out and the money in hand. In spite of the fact that I wasn't greeted with an "Hello", "Good Morning" or "May I Help You", I expected fairly prompt service as I was the only customer in the store at the time. This wasn't to be. I waited and waited and waited while the three clerks carried on an aimless conversa- tion amongst themselves, com- pletely ignoring the paying cus- tomer. This shabby treatment made me realize that this store wasn't interested in my patron- age or offering me any assist- ance whatsoever. I took the hint and left, determined to take my business elsewhere—perhaps out of town. This indifferent attitude is surely not the best way to bolster Exeter's economy and encour- age people to shop locally. A newcomer or tourist would subject themselves to this kind of treatment only once.
