Will people ever stop and ask them
selves this question land it is worth con-
sideringl about sending money away to
departmental stores? What benefit did
YOU ever receive from the Portland or
Boston departmental stores? Did they
ever require your services as a mechanic !!
Do they help to pay you salary? Do
they need you as a professionally man? Do
they buy your produce as tarmer' Do
they pay taxes, or support schools,
churches, or help build your town in
any way? OF course not. Then why
send your money away and expect credit
from the local stores? Leave your money
where it will most beneft-in your own
stores and town.
