The Christmas season NAV now be
said to be on. and for the next three
weeks the merchants will be very
husy showing the people what they
have to sell. And we desire to say
right here that Feirmont merchants
ought to furnish Christmas goods to
FaIFmont people. Nothing hurts q.
town SO much as for large numbers Of
people to get the habit of doing their
holiday shopping away from home.
Whenever goods are purchased at
home the money is left in the comman-
ity and we all have chance to get
hold Of it again. the home merchant
is entitled to profit on the goods he
sells, and that remains Among us, too.
Let us all be patriotic this year and
buy our Christmas presents at Fair
mont stores. 1t will please the mer-
chants, help the town and do us all
good. Let lis try it.
