young man of independent means
is the young man who can best af-

that is just the kind of young man
which the public can least afford
to have in charge of it's affairs.
The young man without means

A Sermon on Home Trading


Suppose A wants a new suit Of
clothes and has 500 with which to
buy it. He goes to his friend B,
the local clothing man. and makes
the trade. B needs some furniture.
so he takes the $50 across the
street to C's furniture store and
buys the desired articles. Perhaps
O wants to order some. groceries
80 he takes the money to D's gro!
oery store next door. And so it
passes from one hand to another.
Each merchant who gets il is bene-
fited. Each makes profit ON his
goods and each is satisfied. for he
is little wealthier than before.
And the money is still in town,
doing good for somebody else. ~
But suppose A gets hold Of a
catalogue from mail order house
in some distant city and reads of
the wonderful suits that can be
had for $40. He sends his money
away and gets his clothes. He
hasn't seen them before buying;
perhaps they are satisfactory, per-
haps they are not. At any rate
the $40 is gone. No home mer-
chant will get a chance to handle
it and nobody in the home town
will be benefited by it. Instead it
is working for the far-oft city of
the mail order house. rs
Now every $40 which A may
spend "a representing almost any
resident of this or any other small
oity) may not follow exactly either
of these courses, but az a general
proposition it holds.good. Money
spent at home builds up the oity
because it helps to build up the
business of every. concern that re.
ceives it.
Leaving out of consideration
this principle of civic pride and
mutual benefit, there are especial
reasons why the people of Point
Pleasant should patronize the To-
oAl merohants. In every line the

as carefully selected and up-to-date
as are those of other cities which
