Ripping Rhymes
Making A Hit.
BY WALT MASON

A friend whose name 1 do not
mention had tried for years to
gain renown: he tried all ways to
win attention, and set folks talk.
Ing In the town. But all the chan
ces seemed against him. mono
yielded to his smile or lure; the
pent-up Uticas, they fenced him,
and kept him painfully obscure.H He
wrote fine odes ana none would
read them. men only laughed to
see him soar; he made high talks
and none would heed them, and
people voted him q bore. And
when he'd failed in projects TWEEN
ty, and was to humble walks re-
signed. fame came his way, and
came a-plenty. and 10Y he's In the
Public Mind. He is the pride of
every voter, and men discuss him
near and far-the man who does
not W a motor, the guy who has
no choo-choo al When strang-
ers visit In II city, we show the
pesthouse and the jail, We editor
so wise and witty, the banker
with his bunch Of kale. We view
the local legislature, the court
house, with its doors aJar, and
then produce that freak of nature,
h man who doesn't own a car.

BUY I'm X ANYBODY

We wonder If many people in this city realize what o
great shopping center Perth Amboy has become. Very often
we fail to appreciate the thing that is nearest at hand no mat
ter how attractive or how advantageous it may be. 1t is hui
man nature to look upon as commonplace the things we are
most familiar with and which we can sec and use every day.
1t is well, therefore, to pause md consider actual conditions
once in n while and allow the truth to be brought home to us.
Tho statement has often been made that one can do just
as well in Perth Amboy stores as can be done in the great de-
partment stores of Newark and New York. By this it is not
meant to imply that the stores of Perth Amboy are as large or
carry such an enormous stock as tho big department stores
of the metropolis; but, after all, there are just so many pat
terms, a limited number of styles and a comparatively small
variety to choose from no matter where one goes.
How many shoppers have worn themselves out rushing
from store to store in New York looking for something that
may suit L little better only, late in tho afternoon. to return
TO the first store visited and buy the first suit that was tried ont
Again it not infrequently occurs that one has travelled all
day IN New York to buy Il suit and finally come home to meet a
person on the street who has bought a suit exactly like it right
here III a Perth Amboy store and at a price equally as low.
Many persons fail to realize how the Perth Amboy stores
have developed In recent years. AS the development has gone
on under our very eyes we have not been impressed with it,
perhaps, as the ont of town shopper has. But the development
has taken place, all right and Perth Amboy today has st. ores
second to none for values and attractiveness.
1t is well, therefore, that we get behind the movement
started by the merchants bureau of the Chamber of Commerce
TO conduct a Buy in Perth Amboy'' campaign early in March.
we nave no doubt about the people of our n~eighboring towns
taking advantage of this opportunity; it is for the people of
Perth Amboy to realize for themselves what great advantages
laey nave right at their home-no tiresome railroad trip-no
detays-no carfare-no restaurant uncheons-everything right
at home. 1t is well to get really acquainted with Perth Am.
boy stores for once. Enter them with your eyes omen and look
ABOUT just as you would npon entering a new store for the
hrst time and you will see things you never realized before.
Buy IN Perth Amboy" is going to be a big success. Perth
Amooy shoppers can reap the benefit by a full realization Of
what it means.
