Who is the Home Merchant

: The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives YOU credit
when YOU are financially broke. and
carries your account until you are
able to pay.
He is the chap who gives you
back your money or makes eN-
changes when you are not satisfied
with what YOU have bought.
He is the chap who meets you at
the door with handshake. and let's
you out with a message to the kids
and a real come again. goodby."
He is the chap whose clerks live
in the home town and spend their
money with you and other local
people.
He is the chap who helps support
our churches and charitable organ
izations and talks for the home
town and boosts for it every day in
the year.
He is the chap who visits YOU
when you are sick, sends flowers to
your family when you die, and fol-
lows your body out among the trees
as far as human feet may travel.
He is the home merchant-your
neighbor-your friend-your helper
in time of need:
Don't you think YOU ought to
trade with him. and be his friend
and his helper in time of need?
Don't you know that the growth
and prosperity of this town depend
very largely upon the success and
prosperity of the. home merchant?
Out of town people judge our city
by the appearance of our stores and
the degree of enterprise shown by
our merchants. And our home mer-
chants succeed when home folks
give them loyal support.--Adv.

Inc directors of the new Wateryille
BOYS Club which will be opened this
FRIDAY to the public for formal in
spection and Saturday Will start its
organizations as club, consider them
selves very fortunate in securing the
services of Frank Goodrich Of this
city as superintendent for the club.
Mr.. Goodrich has always been a
this city for number of years and
his standing in the community has al
ways been very high. He was born in
Maine but soon after his parents
moved TO Passaic, n. j., where he
passed his boyhood. He was married
in 1911 but his wife died In 1919 leav-
Ing him to care for their one child. a
boy who is now 10 years old. Mr..
Goodrich left school when he was mar
ried but after his wife's death he en-
tered Coburn Classical Institute and
completed the four year course there
in two years. Upon his graduation
from Coburn he entered Colby opllege
and he Is junior there this year.
Mr.. Goodrich has always been
leader in school athletic activities. He
played on the Coburn basketball and
football teams winning his letter in
both sports during his years there. He
played tackle and guard on the Colby
football team during his first two
years there and in the fall of 1923 he
was spoken of as one of the best col
lege players in the State.
This year Mr. Goodrich did not go out
for football due to the fact that he has
been spending all of his time preparing
for his new work as leader of the Wat
crville boys club. Mr.. Goodrich has
visited practically .all of the best boys
clubs in New England in order that he
may be fully verscd in the manner OF
taking charge of such an organization.
