OUR LOCAL MERCHANTS

Did you ever give the subject Of the local
merchant any serious thought?
Perhaps you are loyal citizen and patro-
nize local stores as a matter of loyalty, but
as this is not lecture it will do you no harm
to read it,
If you are one of the misguided folks who
imagine you can do better elsewhere, by all
means read this!
Your local merchant is first citizen,
resident of your community, pays taxes along
with you for the upkeep and improvement Of
the community; he raises his family and sends
his children to school-schools which he helps
with you to maintain.
If he is in business he buys clothes and shoes
for his family from fellow merchant. No
matter what his line of business, he spends
money with other business men of the COM
munity.
He banks in local banks; he takes his family
of an evening to the local picture show.
Summed up, the money he makes IN the
community is spent in it.
Were it not for your local merhcant there
would be no schools, no street Improvements,
no public buildings, no progress nor prosper
shine, giving his time an energy and money
to whatever will benefit the district, taking
part in the administrations of the community
or aiding to regulate the administration for
the best interest of the community by his
vote
HE IS A CITIZEN!
Is he not entitled then to consideration?
But there is something more than call
for your loyalty to him as citizen to citizen
-neigbhor to neighbor.
Living here as he does he comes to know
his customers. They are to him not "just
customers but ''fellow citizens;'' "good
neighbors' AS he will be here tomorrow and
the next day and next year, meeting his Gus
toners face to face, day after day, his bust
ness gets his personal transaction between
him and the patron

He is your neighbor-your fellow citizen.
building for tomorrow and next year, and
fully cognizant that the only. way to build is
= to sell good goods at the right prices.
Your local merchant is in himself guaran-
tee Of his goods and prices. and services be-
cause he is always at the same stand meeting
largely the same customers
He connot exist upon the patronage of
transents livelihood comes from perma-
nent residents; his aim is to make permanent
residents regular cutomers He must do this
hence his wares, his prices and his service
are always arranged and held to this end.
You never heard your live-wire, wide awake
home merchant say, ooh, well, one customer
more OF less makes no difference Every
customer is eagerly sought, and a customer
less well, your local merchant will not let
it happen if anything just and reasonable
