WHY YOU SHOULD
PATRONIZE YOUR
HOME MERCHANT

Continued from Page Five)
like sum representing the other mail
order houses are being spent daily
with the merchants of this section.
What would it mean? 1t would mean
that these merchants could and would
double their present working force
and that a great volume Of money
would at once go into the improving
of their stores and to raising the
standard of living Of each individual
merchant. a move which would have
beneficial effect on business in
general,
Such an increase in the business of
the merchants of Snohomish County
would require the services of more
teamsters. more clerks, more eXecu-
ives. Thus, besides keeping a por-
ton of this S115 600 per week at home,
this patronage of the home merchant
would furnish employment for hun
dreds Of working people and thus
greatly increase the pay roll of the
district.
The bringing about of this condi-
ton would at once take up the slack
in the unemployed of the district, and
it is well known and fully realized
that once the supply of surplus labor
is employed that wages automatically
rise in response TO the increased de

To every reader of this paper, be

which the industry of the community
calls into being, within the com

that is buttressed by a policy that IS
as enduring as the everlasting hills,
the slogan of which is: "Patronize
your local merchant, and by so doing

distance which signal indications could be
distinguished, was one of the proximate
causes OF this accident
1T is clearly shown the report says.
that the operating officers charged with
the responsibility of knowing that safety
rules and requirements are observed, were
perfectly familiar with the fact that trains
not only run at normal speed, but make

Accidents such as this may be expect
