Keep Your Eye On Dunn, It's Alive as a Hornet, Feb. 20, 1919

From the Harnett County News, as reprinted on the editorial page the Dunn Dispatch, Feb. 20, 1919

Dunn, In Harnett

In the little city of Dunn, Harnett County has a business center that is as alive as a hornet. Wide-awake and progressive, this busy town has its bithulitic streets and asphalt sidewalks, commodious business buildings, handsome dwellings, traders who trade, and banks that bank. Mingling with its business men, one cannot help being impressed with the spirit of progress that permeates the atmosphere. The live wires of the Harnett metropolis are not content to do business in old-fashion style. They have new ideas of the new business, and they are eternally after bigger and better business.

Dunn draws trade from the lower adjoining counties and is a sharp competitor of its near neighbor, Fayetteville. The energetic young business men of Dunn are eager to build their business upon the solid foundation of merit—square and honest dealing is their motto, and they live up to it. Talking with one of the most enterprising merchants of the town, a representative of the Harnett County News heard him make the extraordinary statement that he did not desire to make a trade with anyone unless both parties were benefited. This should not, perhaps, be considered such a remarkable thing, yet how many business houses build business that way?

That there is a bright future for Dunn is patent upon the face of things. The town is building in the right direction when it builds upon the foundation of merit. The progress of the past few years will be far exceeded by the strides that will be witnessed in the near future. No town will go backward when one it hits the trail toward better things.

We predict that a new introduction will be necessary to the person who fails to keep a watchful eye upon Dunn.
