MR. EDITOR In passing down Main street
yesterday my attention was called to a sign
in window of one Of those catch-peuny
concerns with which this town seems to be
urscd with more than any other town in the
ate. IL really does seem strange that with
al the legitimate business houses that we
have here, that this place should be made the
dumping ground of all this cheap east-of'
trash. They announce their business in
Great flaming placards and labels to catch the
ignorant and unwary by promising to give
tHem something for almost nothing. What
Is the result2 After running of their sEoddy
stock and gathering in the shekels from the
uuwary, Arab like, they silently fold their
tents and steal away The dupes are fooled
and the borough, in most cases, is cheated out
of its just licenses. 1t is but few weeks
ago that a town in neighbouug county
made the license so high for these fake con-
Germs that they now give it a wide berth. In
justice to our legitimate business men, cam
not our Borough Council go and do likewise 2
Having been a resident of this town for the
last 27 years, have seen a great deal Of this
"Cheap John" business practced upon our
people, and it is a singular fact that, not
withstanding their past experience, they
still allow themselves to be humbugged.
l am aware that many OF them think they
are getting bargains but find out their error
when too late, and when they go to look for
an explanation or redress what do they
ind-the bird has flown and the place that
knew them once knows them no more"
How is it with our home merchants Many
of them have been in business here for up
wards Of 20 or 25 years, have invested their
savings here, have given their assistance and
their money for the welfare and advance
ment Of the town; when subscriptions are
taken up for the injured and the poor and
the needy they contribute literally. Why
Because they have something at stake.
What have those travelling concerns got
Nothing; they pay no taxes they contribute
nothing 20 charity, they are no material aid
to the town in any form, but, vampire like,
they live upon the life blood of an over
confding and easily fooled public. Fellow
citizens, stick to the true and tried, hold fast
that which is good, and eschew evil, is the
advice of your friend an
MERCHANT.
