beyond doubt, the truth q
their claim.
s.We NOTE, with ..satisfac-
ton, that they are advel'tls-
ing the Style Show in the
weekly papers Of the adja-
cent towns. From what We
have gathered, we think
they could even advertise If
the Washington newspapers,
and not begrudge a co1pPa-
rison Of their prices with
those Of the capitals ller-
chants. There is no reason
Why they should not sell az
cheaply, and many reasons
why they should sell at even
lower figures. 1t is a fac'
that people come up the
Maryland side Of the Poto-
mae, pass through Washing
ton, and arrive at Alexan-
dria to do their. shopping.
This is a most eloquent fact.
and if it were studied in Il
its hearings~would result in
certain efforts on the part Of
Alexandria to reVolutionize
present travel conditions.
But these efforts are now
crystallizing, and we can al
READY see uayllSlt giiillulei-
ing on the horizon.
We congratulate the Re-
tail Merchants Bureau OF
their vision and enterprise
and are glad to say this good
word for their courage and
energy in thus awarding ;to
Alexandria its true status az
the commercial metropolis
Of northern Virginia.
