often as possible Is one Of the ways
to help your city. It scarcely ever
pays to be lured by the special sales
advertised so often in the big dailies.
While one or two articles may be re-
duced for the time being, the defic-
iency is always made up on any other
article you may purchase. Help your
home merchant and he will help you.
