Notes About Our Business Men Who Have
the Goods end Are Not Afraid to
vouch For Them Publicly.

I'm this issue of The TRIBUNE the
last issue before Christmas our adver-
Users are making their browning effort
to secure Il share Of the meritcd patron
age of the people of st. Lucie county.
These columns are eloquent opponents
of the energy and up.tO.dateness of our
merchants. They have, first Of all,
made a careful selection Of holiday
gifts of every description, ransacklng
the markets of the country for the very
best. Next these merchants have
made a very attractive display of their
goods, decorating their windows in
such a manner as to compel the atten-
ton and admiration of even the most
Indifferent passers by. And last of all,
inasmuch as only small percentage of
the people of st. Lucie county live in
Fort Pierce and have daily access to
these displays, these modern merchants
have selected the columns of the most
widely circulated newspaper in the
county through which to make known
the variety and quality and prices OF
their goods. AS nearly as possible
they have placed a show window in
front of every citizen in st. Lucie cOun-
ty. This they have done at no small
expense. Every move they have made
to provide a suitable stock for the h0ll-
day shoppers has cost them money.
As far as possible they are meeting the
prices of the great department stores.
And now it is up to the holiday trade
to see that these efforts are not fruit
less. Trade with the merchants who
help pay your taxes and keep up your
roads and educate your children; who
spend their money with you; who ex-
tend to you the courtesy of credit IN
time of need courtesy that the mail
order houses deny. The more trade
YOU give your home merchants the larg.
err stocks they are enabled to carry ana
consequently the smaller margin they
will be enabled to charge: In your
hands, Mr.. Consumer, lies the solution
in a great measure, of reasonable prices
in st. Lucie county. -,
