AS We should all he Interested
in each others welfare, it is meet
and proper that we again call
the attention Of many Of our
readers to the urgent necessity Of
buying as much at home
as possible, il we ever hope to see
New iberia take it's place in the
foreranks as other live towns. A
town is like a large family. If
we are not interested in one
another's welfare. we should be,
and it behooves our people to
stand together in all matters that
mean--not only prosperity to the
business men-bt.t the bringing
back to real values, the real estate
holdings in this City and Parish.
A cut-thrOat, every for him
self policy means ruin and retro
gressi0n. and if needs be, failure.
TO be mt all successful there must
be unity in the community. This
applies to the business life of a
town. and the more generally it
is observed by every one Of us,
the more abundant will be the
towns prosperity. We should
all stand together and get every
thing at home by patronizing the
home merchants. and they in turn
should set the example. which
we believe they do, by lending
every encouragement possible for
New 1beria's advancement. Re-
member that enormous taxes, as
well as employment to our people
is annually paid by the business
men. and outside concerns who
are sapping the life-blood of this
community, care nothing for our

we send our money to the large
department stores Of the East for
