1t does not seem fair to the
local merchants to see these street
venders in fruits, green groceries,
etc, doing such a big business We
ought TO remember that our local
men have to live and pay rent and
taxes, in fact all their profits are
spent here in town to help support
the town and its institutions, and
We should consider this before
spending our money with these out
siders, whose prices are very little,
if any, lower and whose goods are
always inferior. The local mer-
chants are not getting exorbitant
prices as some people seem TO think,
in fact are barely able to exist at
the ruling prices, while these vend-
ers of course can sell a little cheap
er because they have no rent or taxes
to pay. PatTonize home industries
and boost your home town.
