BUY IT IN WILMINGTON IF
Your Home Merchants Cannot For Any
Reason Furnish L..

A number of Wilmington's leading
merchants use space in to-day's edi-
tion Of this paper to make a broad ap-
peal for the trade of this territory g..
They ask that one support their home
merchants whenever possible but if
for any reason you cannot buy what
you want at home, then buy it in
Wilmington.
Most everyone will agree that this
is a perfectly reasonable appeal. The
home merchants always come first in
every community, a fact which the
Wilmington merchants readily recog-
nize and appreciate but what they ask
is that when the people of this COM
munity are for any reason Obliged to
shop away from home then shop in
Wilmington.
Wilmington has made wonderful
progress the past few years, and its
retail stores have easily kept pace
with the progress of the city. There
are a great many excellent reasons
why Wilmington merchants should
have the trade of the people Of this
community, instead of its going fur
ther, and Wilmington merchants are
taking a step forward when they com
bine in the way they have in a broad
appeal to the people Of this oommun-
ity.
when you cannot buy it at home,
buy 1t in Wilmington.
