Why Richm ond is the
Best Place In Which
to Live

Each day Palladium reporter
will interview persons at random
to find out why they like to live
here.
Il like Richmond because of
the soundness of the rank and
file OF it's citizens" said COM
parative newcomer in the city,
to a Palladium reporter in To-.
cal office Friday.
Here and there there may be
a man who is not pulling his
share of the load, an official
who may be lax in the execution
of his duty but from what
have seen of Richmond people,
The fathers and mothers, the
boys and girls, they are a clean
cut lot.
IF one could map out in his
mind the ideal small town. one
in which he would want to
bring up a boy or a girl, there
are many features about Rich
mond which would demand a
part in his ideal.
Passing over the business
advantages of it's splendid rail-
roads and central location in a
prosperous farming community,
l believe Richmond is a clean,
normal community in which TO
spend ones life.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA delega-
ton of railroad executives appealed to
the house commerce committee for
legislation to permit the treasury to
make partial payments under the
transportation act of amounts due the
roads for losses sustained during the
first six months after government
operation ended. sr... s -- --s
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, said the financial
status of most railroads was deplor-
able, as they were short of cash, !"
and unable to pay current bills.
Chairman Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, of
the association of railway executives,
said that with vast amounts coming
to them from the government, under
the guaranty provision, railroads were
unable to borrow and could not pay
dividends. The partial payment sought
he said, would restore credit"

CHAIRMAN FOR HEAD
OF CITY REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE LACKING

Candidates for the office Of Repub-
lican city chairman during the mayor
atty campaign this year are scarce, ac-
cording to political leaders of the
city. The probability that the hardest
fought part of the campaign will come
prior to the primaries in May is sup.
posed to be keeping several men from
accepting the position as leader of
the party.
Acceptance of the office as city
chairman would prevent this person
taking very active part in the pri
maries. Nearly every man that has
been mentioned for the position has
some particular candidate for the
mayorship and as a result will not be.
come chairman.

times as well as in good. We
mean by cooperation that instead
Of buying cataiog merchandise
much of which is of doubtless
merit and seldom cheaper than
local stores can sell for, that you
spend your money here where
you make it.
The merchants will do their
part they have committed
themselves to a constructive pro-
gram that will if your loyal sup
port is secured, produce perfect
place to shop in.
We want you to help induce as
many people as possible to come
to Bennington and do their shop
ping here-ever realizing that
few country towns are as we'll
equipped with up-to-date stores
as is this village.
Now it is pertinent for you
Benningtonians to ask what we
merchants have done, are doing
and expect to do to perform our
part in this proposed program of
reconstruction.
This is a pertinent question.
and we answer with truthful en-
thusiasm:
We have by almost continu-
Gus sales nearly liquidated our
stocks of high price war mer-
chandise.
We have marked the balance
down to replacement values
which in general terms is a re-
duction from the peak of prices
of nearly forty per cent.
We have bought liberal stocks
of spring merchandise and mark
cd at very attractive prices
which show the full wholesale
price reduction.
You can now buy with conf
dence that the bottom has been
reached, at least for this season.
We are going to keep you post
ed and in turn we want you to
believe US when we say this Ben
nington Merchants Association
is going to work for your inter
est realizing that what is for
your interest is ultimately for
ours.

After several months of unit
ed study and deliberation, are
now ready to announce their par
ticular plans for the betterment
of business in Bennington.
They have carefully consid-
cred every suggestion from ev-
cry source and have eliminated
every idea that could in the least
be considered selfish from class
standpoint.
Broadly speaking, the mer-
chants are united on a definite
plan to make Bennington a big
ger and better place to live in
and buy from.
The interest of every class Of
people is to be carefully consid-
cred with the ultimate eXpecta-
ton that one hundred per cent.
OF the needs of local people will
be provided for and that great
numbers from surrounding terri
tory will be attracted to Ben
nington to sell their products and
procure from local merchants
and business men merchandise to
supply their needs,
1t is expected that the farmer
viii enjoy a perfect market for
his products and when we speak
Of perfect market we mean
that for every dollars worth he
leaves he will be able to secure
d real dollars worth of any kind
Of merchandise he requires for
his own needs. This perfect
equation may develop fast as the
spirit is active among us all to
quickly BRING this about and so
retain all the trade of our farm
ing community.
Wages of workers will be
watched that prices in the stores
may not overbalance them be-
cause it is realized that in this
reconstruction period no one
class in a community can bene-
fit to the detriment of any other
class.
We invite the cooperation of
every person in the community,
promising to provide as perfect
stores as possible and prices as
low as any place in the country.
When we speak of cooperation
we mean cooperation in the sense
OF booming Bennington at every
opportunity; we mean by word
OF mouth and by conscientious
