Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-04-04
WHY TRADE IN COLUMBUS?

Unfortunately some people in New
ark are possessed of the erroneous
idea that in neighboring cities, more
especially Columbus, merchandise OF
all kinds is sold at lower prices than
prevail here, and accordingly waste
a whole day, pay railroad fare, buy
one or two meals and in the end pay
actually more for their goods than
the same articles could be bought for
right here at home. An incident
proving the truth of this statement
came to the attention of the Leader
last week. A resident of Columbus,
after visiting a number Of stores in
that city. came to Newark, bought
nearly $400 worth of goods and act
ually saved between $55 and $50,
there being that difference in prices
between the two cities.
The Newark merchant pays his
taxes and spends his money at home,
his interests are here and he gladly
joins in every enterprise to promote
and advance the general good of the
community by generous donations OF
time and money. He is entitled to
and should receive the entire patron
age of every citizen. Read our adj
vertisements, every business in the
city is represented, and rest assured
you can save money by trading IN
Newark. Try it, if you are in the
habit of going elsewhere, and be con-
vinced Of your error.

NEWARK LEADER
(By John Bush)

"For I have given you an example,
that you should do as | have done to
you."- XIII:15.
We are living in a time in which
principle tells, when men with red
blood in their veins and loyal to a
righteous cause dare to do and die
for a principle that other men may
enjoy Gods earth and it's fruits in
full freedom, to work out their polit-
ical, religious and industrial saliva
ton. Let US, as trade unionists of the
city of Newark, be true to our cause,
and we too will leave a heritage of
freedom and good will to those who
come after us that will gladden. their
hearts and brighten their pathway
in life.
The Newark Leader, since its first
isuue Nov. "a, 1917 has advocated and
been sincere and untiring in its efforts
to promote these principles. The
furtherance of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the labor movement has at
all times been the paramount aim of
the publisher and his staff. The or
ganized wage earners of Newark
have in the Leader a labor paper
which, when compared with many
other papers of its kind throughout
Ohio, is found to be unsurpassed.
Organized labor in Newark should
feel proud of a paper that stands
ready at all times to champion the
cause of labor. 1t is issued under the
management of the Newark Trades
and Labor Assembly and is free from
religious or political affiliation, which
is most gratifying in view of the fact
that many similar propositions have
been torn asunder because of their
connection with other than labor ele-
ments. Too much credit cannot be
given to the labor paper of our city
for its loyalty to labors cause.
The labor movement today is the
greatest school in the world. 1t
teaches more branches than any in
stitute or college. To keep up with

The U. S. Department Of Labor IS
advocating the advisability and wis
dom of all those who have in contem-
plation the erection of building OF

at once, and is sending out literature
to that effect. Secretary of Labor
w. B. Wilson says: During the war
it was patriotice not to build, now we
can best show our patriotism by build
ing. l want to see every wageworker
own his own home"
There are evidences of general ac-
tivity in the building line in Newark
this spring, work has been commenced
on several new structures and many
more are in contemplation; a great
deal is being done in alterations and
additions, both in business rooms and
private residences.
The attention of all who are inter
ested in this direction is called to the
page in this weeks issue devoted to
announcements of various lines OF
business bearing directly upon the
building industry. Read what the ad-
vertisers have to say, they are your
friends and have the interest of the
working men at heart. Watch the
center of the page each week, as live
and instructive articles will appear
we'll worth your attention.
