Your Home Merchant.

The industries of town are the
spokes in its wheel OF progress. Every
time yon take dollar away from your
home merchants and spend it with ont.
siders you are just doing 20 much to
weaken those spokes. A good many
knocks Of that sort will break the spoke
and several spokes missing will break
the wheel down. II your home mer.
chant keeps honest goods at fair prices,
patronize him. Don't think that the
goods IN the home stores are not as sty-
lish nor desirable as those you buy at
other cities. II the home merchant
keeps shopworn goods, maybe it is your
own fault, because you let his goods lie
idle on the shelyes. 1fhe does not han
die the best quality Of goods, perhaps 1t
Is because you buy from outsiders and
the small amount of good quality goods
that the home merchant sells would not
Offset the losses ne would experience IL
he bought expensive goods and was
forced to keep them on hand till they
lost their value. Patronize your home
merchant. He is one of the upbuild.
ing influences of your town and in just
what measure he prospers, the town
will prosper and your PROPERTY increase
in value.
