Evening journal., 1916-03-10

The editorial that appeared in the
Wilmington Evening Journal last Sat
urday, relative to the Eastern Shore
and Its Trade" should be read and
considered carefully by the shoppers
OF the entire Delmarvia Peninsula as
well as residents Of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and merchants of the
city OF Wilmington. The journal edi-
tor points out that while millions of
dollars are spent annually by the peo-
pie of the Eastern Shore Of Maryland,
and that this section of the Peninsula
is properly tributary TO Wilmington
in commercial sense, yet the mer-
chants OF Baltimore and Philadelphia
are the chief beneliciaries and the
Wilmington merchants secure but a
small percentage of the enormous
trade.
The Journal further points out that
probably not one in 100 of the East
ern Shore shoppers are aware of the
exceptional shopping facilities that
can be found I'm Wilmington. and de-
clares that If proper educational work
in this line were done among them
they could be induced 70 stop i'm Will
mington. and would save money by
shopping in that city.
There is only one fault we find with
the Journal editorial. and that IS the
fact that the editor should have in
cluded the State of Delaware with the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Surely
the trade Of Delaware is worth going
after as well as that of the Eastern
Shore. II is a sad fact that many of
lower Delaware residents have not
yet been educated to the advantages
Of shopping In Wilmington, and mail
order houses and Philadelphia mer-
/ chants reap a rich harvest throughout
! this section.
For some reason the merchants OF
/ Wilmington seem to be content to sit
sem anti watch their Philadelphia
contemporaries reach down into Del
aware and carry away the cream of
the trade. Philadelphia merchants
/ offer every inducement to lower Del
aware shoppers to trade with them

hand it seems almost impossible to

aud get them to realize what vast
field Of trade lies at their threshold
waiting to be grasped. Apparently
they are perfectly satisfied to see
the Philadelphia merchants reach
past them and pluck the lucrative
fruit
The State News firmly believes that
the mail order houses are a great
menace to a small community We
have repeatedly urged Dover shop
pers to deal with the Dover mer-
chants and again we declare that al
most every want can be satisfied in
the local stores, but if it is impossible
to buy it at home then it is our duty,
as Delawareans, to shop in Whining
ton rather than waste the extra time
and carfare to boost the receipts of
stores in another State.
The State News intends to wage an
active battle on behalf OF local mer-
chants and against the mail order
goblin" Each issue of the State News
from now on will contain interesting
articles and cartoons to illustrate the
importance of dealing with the local
merchants in order TO benefit the COM
munity We sincerely hope that this
campaign will open the eyes of those
persons who have been accustomed
to writing to a Philadelphia store for
even a dozen buttons or a hairbrush

that every dollar they spend at home

The most alarming news which has

nation that the Democratic politicians
of the State had selected the State
Highways Commission as one of the
political plums of the present admin

some appointments made to the State
Highways Commission which would
mean purely a political administra-

From its inception to the present

business basis. and not for the bene-
fit of politicians, and it has been said
to the good name of the State that
people of Maryland have gotten better

amount of money expended than any
other State in the Union. This has
been accomplished because Of the alb
sence of political pull or political

The people of the State are now
fearful that the blighting hand of the

our city officials should not act hastily in deciding
" what shall be done with the old City Hall building
the several departments housed therein have
been moved TO the rev Municipal Building at Tenth
and King streets.
Thatsthore a division of opinion with respect TO
it. no can truthfuy deny We called attention TO
that fact many months and emphasized it edi-
torially.
Those who measure all things by the rule of dollars
and cents think the Hall and the city land surrounding
it should be sold % he highest bidder or-bidders. and
that no attempt should be made to save the building
from the hands OF the house-wrecKers
Those who measure things by sentiment, and who
believe in the preservation Of historic landmarks, think
the old City Hall shouid be preserved; that the old
tower should be restored that the whole structure
should be put through are-proohne process and that
subsequently, II should be used as an art gallery and
historic museum
