CAMPAIGN PRINCIPLES
ARE AGAIN RECALLED
Duty Of All to Praise City and
Patronize the CIarksburg
Merchants.

With the closing Of the active buy
In Clarksburg campaign, the Tele-
gram desires to Gull attention once
more to tho all Important principals
OF the campaign. which has extended {.
over the last eight weeks, with such
great success. II wishes to remind,
each and every one residing in Clarks.
burg trade territory Of his duty to
this prosperous city and Of his duty
to praise Clarksburg to everyone and
to do everything within his power to
mako 1t even a greater and better
city In which to live, and his duty to
give preference In all purchases to
the Clarksburg business men and
merchants.
Up-to-Date Merchants.
Clnrksburg has az up-to-date mer-
chants and business men us are to be I
found anywhere in tho country. Their
stocks arc us complete as can be
found In many cities much larger
than Clarksburg. Their stocks are 4
new and of tho latest style and !
fashions.
Because OF the up-to-dateness of 4
the Clarksburg merchants. Clarks-
burg women long ago earned the
properly placed designation OF the
best dressed women In West Virginia.
Clarksburg men hnve won the same
proud distinction. All Of this ID made 4
possible because Clarksburg iner-9
chants have kept abreast or q little
ahead of the times. few days after
the latest fashion creations are shown
in New York. they are on display in
the show windows Of Clarksburg pro-
gressive dealers.
Consideration Deserved.
These facts deserve the commend
alton Of Clarksburg buyers. They
entitle the progressive merchants TO
the tirst consideration. Investigation
shows that the prices OF Clarksburg
business men are consistently as low /.
as can be secured elsewhere, and the
added advantage Is given OF personal (
inspection and guaranteed At.
As the Clarksburg merchant and 4
business man Is benefited, more etn-
ployment Is provided and more money
put into local circulation through the
payment OF salaries. As men and wo-
men are provided with greater earn
Ing capacity. 30 they are provided
with greater buying capacity.
Every dollar earned in Clarksburg
should be spent In Clarksburg, LETT
ting clarksburg people reap the bene-
at thereof. If
, Mail Order Houses Take Money.
The mail order houseB tend to take
away from u community money that
rightly belongs to- the upbuilding Of 4
such community. Every dollar sent
away from homo to buy from the mail
order houses Is just another dollar
that never finds Its way back TO the
point of origin. No community taxes
are paid by that dollar. and NO COM
munity improvements arc made po1-
slble because Of the expenditure Of
that dollar. In case Of disaster or
epidemic, whether Individual or COM
munity-wide, these man order houseB
are too remote to render aid. Local
merchants have been deprived Of the
ability to give aid merely because the
mall order patron has persisted IN
sending His or her, money away from
home. {.
All Will Buy Here.
These patent tucY have been maze
more than apparent to the people OF
Clarksburg during the past eight
weeks through the intensified buy IN
Clarksburg campaign waged by the
Telegram. They have been driven 80
persistently and consistently to the
attention Of the loyal resident OF
Clarksburg that mail order purchases
heretofore made, perhaps through
thoughtlessness Of the real conse
quences. are purchases that shall not
be repeated. s's
In passing the final word In connec7
ton with the campaign. the Tele-
gram desires to impress upon all per-
sons who have signed cards. a. we'll
as those other thousands who have
mentally resolved to buy at home.
that their pledges are accepted at full
value by the Clarksburg merchants
and business men, and full reliance
Is being placed In them! These pledges
have not been made lightly they are
sincere and voluntary pledge and
needs must recetve that serious con
slderation that any sincere, pledge
made is given.
