.Clarksburg men have won the same
proud distinction. All OF this 10 made
possible because Clarksburg NOR
chants have kept abreast or q little
ahead of the times. A few days after
the latest fashion creations are shown
In New York. they are on display In
tho 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 first 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
business man is benefited, more em-
ployment Is provided and more money

Mail Order Houses Take Money.
The mail order houses tend to take
away from community money that
rightly belongs to the upbuiidlng Of
such community. Every dollar sent
away from home 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. andino CONF
munity improvements are made pos
slble because OF the expenditure Of
that dollar. In case Of disaster or
epidemic. whether Individual or com \
munity-wide, these mai order houses
are too remote to render aid. Local
merchants hayc been deprived Of the
ability to give aid merely because the
mail order patron has persisted In
sending his or her money away from
home,
All VIII Buy Here.
These patent ki.cts have been maze
more than apparent to the people sof
Clarksburg during the past eight
weeks through the intensified buy in
Clarksburg campaign waged by the
Telegram. They have been driven so
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. 81, \ !, Z
In passing the final wordiin connec-
ton with the campaign. the Tele-
gram desires to impress upon all per
sons who have signed cards, as well
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
q sincere and voluntary pledge and
needs must receive that serious con
sideration that any sincere pledge
made is given.
