Notes About Our Busir ess Men Who Have
the Goods and Are Not Afraid to
VOuch For Them Publicly


In this issue of THE TRIBUNE our
advertisers are making their browning
effort to secure share of the merited
patronage of the people of St. Luce
county. These columns are eloquent
opponents of the energy. and up.to-date-
ness of our merchants. They have,
! first of all, made careful selection of
holiday gifts of every description, ran
sacking the markets of the country for
the very best. Next, these merchants
have made very attractive display of
goods, decorating their windows in such
manner as to compel the attention
and admiration of even the most in
different 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 TRI-
BUNE 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 suitable stock for the holi-
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 fruitless.
Trade with the merchants who help
pay your taxes and keep up your roads
and educate your children; who spend
their money with yOu;S who extend to
you the courtesy of credit in time of
need-a courtesy that the mail order
houses deny. The more trade you give
your home merchants the larger stocks
they are enabled to carry and conse-
quently 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.
