On This Day | No Knocking Advertisers Wanted

The town knocker gets this well deserved rap from an exchange: “It takes a sharp knock to break an egg from the outside, while a weak little chick with its soft bill can break out from the inside. It’s the same with the town. The knocks from the outside have little effect—it’s the blows at home of the damphool knocker that hurt a town.

Why We Chose It
Again with the brilliant spelling of damphool, and again the point of made in favor the the one who builds rather than the one who tears down. In the parlance of our time, we’re looking at the “whiners” in the room. Also, local businesses shouldn’t be afraid to spread the word about what their doing — and the local newspaper was ready to help 😉
