IF THE BUSINESS MEN of Milford are not quickly
aroused to fact that the concrete roads OF Della

of their very best trade away Milford to Salisbury
Wilmington and other places where merchants are arous-
ed and working for increased business touch with the
people in Sussex county who have been heretofore with
out access the large stores merchants in Salisbury es-
peciay reaching out for trade and are using the COL
of every paper of considerable circulation to
inform all the people of their opportunities There is
steady growth demand space in the columns of The
Milford Chronicle by the large stores Of Salisbury to
reach people of eastern Sussex county, also that part
of central western Sussex from Greenwood Delaware
down Seaford and sections intervening We have called
attention this fact and asked the business men OF Mil
ford to look after future welfare Of all trade enter
prse which they have drawn for from these
sections without the advantage of the concrete high
ways Since the Of splendid roads, it is common for
people all parts of eastern Sussex and the central
and western part of this county WELL to travel by auto
almost daily to Salisbury and Wilmington to look
over the advantages shopping where larger stocks are
available for selection The new roads will work two ways
to bring to- or to carry them valuable trade the
merchants Milford maintain their hold on this spen-
did trade from Sussex Kent they will have to get
after the business nOw-for when it is once diverted II
will be difficult to turn to former customs Larger

ing Of the advantages to gained by trading with NIL

highways opened they should gather additional trade
but it will respond solicitation of the other stores in

their own interests and go after the business The Mil
ford Chronicle has sounded the warning it up to the
merchants themselves to do the rest Wilmington and
Salisbury after the trade and they know how to go
getting it, for that they are dangerous COM
pettors for local merchants It is and always should
be the slogan for Milford live to- that the people Of
Kent and Sussex should buy it in Milford; but if it can
not be had here get it in Wilmington Salisbury
Go get this business for Milford but Milford

President Coolidge after collecting all the data has

War Finance Corporation, and former Representative
Frank W. Monde to proceed to the Northwest to give

setbacks in price were numerous the
market was at a decidedly higher lev
