Shop At Home Article Appreciated

AS a Penns Grove merchant l want
to thank you for your strong and con-
vincing appeal in last weeks issue of
the Record to the people of Penns
Grove to buy their holiday goods at
home. 1t was timely and to the point.
1t is not too late to further impress
this important matter upon the public
as much gift buying will be done to-
day and during the coming week. l
know L express the sentiments of all
our merchants in commencing you for
your earnest appeal to the people of
Penns Grove to support their local
stores by shopping at home.
There are many who travel great
distances at considerable inconvenience
to make their holiday purchases in
other towns and cities. There are few
persons who realize how detrimental
this is to Penns Grove or how discour-
aging it is to the local merchant. OF
course the window displays are not
quite so lavish here as in the great de-
partment stores of Philadelphia and
New York, but the quality of the mer-
chandise will be found to be equal and
in many cases superior. We all enjoy
to a certain extent the guided environ
ment of the stores in the large cities
and there is possibly a greater variety
to choose from, but the disadvantages
really offset the slight advantages if
we take the trouble to go into a care
full analysis of this situation.
Sound business institutions are an
essential part of every community. By
constant patronage and constructive
criticism they are bound to improve.
Penns Grove is at the present time
feeling the effects of a nationwide
business depression and it behooves us
all to p%atronize to the fullest possible
extent all local business institutions
for more reasons than one. First, our
civic pride. Second, their strength is
our strength. Third, they contribute
largely to the support of the commun-
ity by giving employment to clerks,
clerical assistants, expressmen, etc.,
and pay a substantial share of borough
taxes.
Think this ver before you board the
train or boat. Merchant.
