Editorial Comment — Supporting Neighborhood Businesses

October 1983

Historical October 1983 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

As we were going to press in late August, Will Doctor Gourmet Foods at 5513 Pershing went out of business.

Not only did The Paper lose an advertiser, but the neighborhood lost a small, service-oriented business which, as well as providing luxury meats, also offered meat in bulk thereby attempting to serve the needs of an economically varied population. I point no fingers and make no allegations; however, I would like to stress that if we want — and in a way, expect — the amenities small shops and restaurants offer, we are going to have to support them. Almost all of our advertisers are small, independently owned operations.

Please support them, and tell them you saw their ad in The Paper.
