WHERE is YOUR MONEY WORKING

Every day more or less expressions
are heard on the streets and throughout
the community on the part of good
citizens to the effect that they would
like to see new industry located here
something to afford employment to
many men and bring more real money
into the community. That long looked
for industry may come knocking at our
door any day. Will we be in position
to take care of it? One of the first
questions to come from the prospective
manufacturer will be "Can your local
people raise enough cash for a suitable
site and sidetrack to our plant?" And
the next question will be Are your
banks in position to take care OF our
business? On certain OCCASIONS we will
need accommodations to the extent of
several thousand dollars"
When such propositions as this come
to community the local business peo-
pie, and no others, are looked to take
care of the situation. If they have en-
JOyed the cooperation of the people
and are made prosperous it is an easy
matter to furnish the money which will
bring the new industry to the com
munity. If the money Is going out of
town and the merchant Is left to take
care Of the credit business and TO strug-
gle along with the small amount of
patronage the people care to give them
when they cannot wait long enough to
get it from the mail order house. they
will be found greatly handicapped as
public benefactors.
The ability of the local bank or banks
is controlled by the people just the
same as the local merchant With the
support of all the community the local
banking institutions can well be de.
pended upon to come to the front to en-
courage and welcome the new industry
and to foster any business enterprise
designed to improve the conditions in
the home community. But if the local
people persist in doing their banking
away from home and assisting some
other community the local institutions
will find it impossible to assist no matter
what their desires may be.
No matter what degree of prosp per-
ity may prevail IN this community it
needs every dollar produced here and
needs the cooperation of the local
banking institutions.

HIS SHOE BARGAIN.

At Cameron, w. Va, recently a
young man walked into the shoe store
of Frank P. Ross with pair of shoes
purchased from a Chicago mail order
house. They were entirely too small
and he asked Mr. Ross to stretch them
for him which he did to the limit of
safety for the shoes. The Young man
explained to Mr.. Ross that he had got
a bargain in the shoes, paying only
S398 for them. He and Mr. Ross
figured the cost Of getting them and /.
totaled 1925 Then the mail order
house customer was shown q pair Of
shoes which he admitted were superior
to his and the prlce mark, in plain
figures on the box, showing that Mr..
Ross was selling them for IS 80. Like
any other shoe man Mr.. Ross viii not
allow a customer to leave his store
without perfect fit.

LESSON IN SHOES.

A farmer living in central West
Virginia discovered that he was buying
three pair of shoes each winter for his
boys while his neighbor was buying but
one pair for boy of the same age. He
enquired of his neighbor as to the diff
ference and found that the good wear
ing shoes came from one of the leading
stores In the home town. Here was
where the big mail order houses lost a
customer because it set the farmer who
had been buying three pairs of shoes to
thinking. If he was getting bit that
way in shoes they were doing the same
thing in their goods. He is now keep
ing the money at home and patronizing
the merchants who stand back of every
piece of goods sold.

LESSON IN WATCHES.

A Garrett county citizen has just re-
ceived a lesson in the difference be-
tween mail order goods and those
handled by the local merchant. He
paid the neat sum of S2l for a watch
which was beautifully illustrated in the
catalogue and which appeared to be a
real bargain.
Soon after receiving the watch the
owner discovered that 1t was not
keeping good time and took the
time piece to the local jeweler. To
prove his assertion that the watch
was old the local jeweler sent it to the
factory for examination. The factory
replied that the watch was all of
twenty-five years of age and was com
pletely worn out. The local jeweler' s
price for a new watch of the same
class nine dollars.

That the presence of the First
National Bank of Kitzmiller is a great
convenience to all the people of that
community is readily agreed by every
body. In addition to giving fine bank
ing service to the people this institution
is taking the initiative in community
improvement and the building of a
greater business center. With the
money of the community going to the
metropolitan cities this bank is being
interferred with in its effort toward the
good of everybody in that section of the
county.
