A BUY in Perth Amboy" CAM
paigu has been started by the mer-
chants committee of the Chamber
of Commerce in order to stimulate
business here and to bring to the
attention of the citizens of this city
and surrounding towns the fact that
articles which one now goes to New
York or Newark to purchase, may
be obtained in this city at less
money.
At the present time, there is prob
ably no town or city in this section
of the state of New Jersey. outside
of Newark, with such a wide va
riety of merchandise of all kinds.
The Merchants of the city pride
themselves on the fine grade and
the style of goods they carry and
through the BUY in Perth AM
boy" campaign will endeavor to
bring these facts to the attention Of
the buyers.
A statement that is being sent
out by the merchants committee of
the Chamber of Commerce follows:
Buy in Perth Amboy.' This
slogan was brought forcibly to ev-
ery Perth Amboyan's attention, and
in the years that have followed 1t
has been presented in one way and
another to us all
1t is vitally important; 1t hits
everybody's pockethook one way or
another. BY trad ng in Perth Ant-
boy the merchants can afford to
handle more goods of greater va
riety. and can give better service.
The public can buy goods at less
money here if they will only give
this matter a little thought.
Residents of Perth Amboy are
making their money here. and
should keep it here as far as posi-
bic. The spirit of pride in the city
and it's institutions should make
us want to trade here. The more
trade there is here the more sue
cessful everyone will be. Be a
booster for your fellow merchant,
and you will be booster for your
self. We can build up the CITY, boil
ster up it's institutions and attract

new industries. But in doing this
we neglect the idea of buying in
Perth Amboy, we are taking one
step forward and another back
ward, and in the end accomplish
nothing.
We all know that there are hun
dreds of local people who go 10
New York and Newark regularly to
shop. With few exceptions, the
same goods which they purchase in
New York or Newark can be bought
here, and, while it may not be gen.
orally believed, the prices paid in
Newark and New York are often
times more than those asked by To-
cal merchants. AS a business prop
osition, it is cheaper to trade here.
Figuring out the cost Of getting to
New York or Newark and the money
that Is spent needlessly on the trip
and the time consumed. it is a
mighty poor deal after all; not for
getting the fact that oftentimes
more money is paid for the same
merchandise.
Many people buy goods in New
York and Newark and later dis
cover that they could have bought
the same thing in Perth Amboy at
the same OF less IilollSN ttiiu SAPietAA,
when they are approached in in
auiry: II didn't know you carried
it." They never bothered to in
quire.
When one figures that manufac-
turers establish a standard price
on their goods. New York and New
ark merchants have to pay as much
as the Perth Amboy merchants, the
a ri icles will have to bring more
money in New York and Newark be-
cause of higher overhead expense
Then again, by trading locally
there is the satisfaction of knowing
that il an article isn't right, it vii
be made right without a lot of trou'
BILE and expense.
1t is to the public's advantage tc
patronize local merchants who sup.
port community wide work. and not
only help the merchant, but help
themselves.

Proclamation in Keyport

lBy Evening News correspondent
KEYPORT. April 23:-In order
to be in line with New York City
and to simplify the commuters
service Keyport will adopt the day.
light saving plan. Mayor Mason has
issued a proclamation to this effect
after having ascertained the opin-
ions of the various members of the
council and leading business men of
the borough.
Considerable confusion will thus
be done away with. Had the bor-
ough not adopted the new time local
residents who go daily to New York
and the other large cities would
have experienced no end of confu-
sion.
1t is doubtful if the farmers IN
this vicinity will adopt the daylight
saving plan, as the majority are
against it.. Local sentiment has also
been against the new time, but after
due and careful consideration 1t has
been thought best for all concerned
to conform to the daylight saving
plan.

Owing to the fact that New York

tics, all should be cleaned out, the
rubbish and worthless articles placed
upon the gutter in front of the
homes and the garbage and extra

Come on, let's put things in order
Our whole city can and should bt

bition to have city clean and beau
tiful is soon to become a reality by
the cooperation of all the people.
Therefore, by virtue of the au-
thority vested in me as mayor, and
with the hearty approval of many
far-seeing and jealous citizens, we
