The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1927-09-13


When it comes to values-you can bet
ON Pleasantville every time. 1t is always
in the lead in the race to give you more for
your money-whether the article you buy
costs SOC or several hundred dollars
You want to see Pleasantville grow
prosper. You want to see it forge ahead
One sure way to do this is to do all your
buying right here 4in your own back
yard"
But your merchants don't ask you to
buy here just because you are proud of
your community They ask you to buy
know they can give you more for. your
dollar-in quality, in service, in style.
There isn't more alert group of mer-
chants in the country than the Pleasant
vile merchants. They have their "eye
on the ball" always. They are in con-
slant touch with the style centers. They
study your wants and needs carefully and
see to it that you get the latest and best
merchandise at the lowest possible prices.
It's human nature, of course, to think
that the grass is always greenest on the
other side of the road. But ninety-nine
times out of a hundred this turns out
to be an optical illusion
It's the same way with going outside
of Pleasantville to do your buying. After
all your time and effort you usually find
that you could have done better in Pleas
antville. *
Remember that the more you concen-
trate your purchases here the better yal-
ues you are guaranteed. Every dollar
that you spend paves the way for bigger
and better things for yourself and your
fellow townsmen. Keep the Home Fires
Burning" your buying in Pleasant
.ille
This is your opportunity to buy the
many things you have wanted but could
not afford You may buy without stint,
lay aside for fall and winter at this great
ASale.
The merchants have donated thous-
ands of dollars to make it success. They
are awarding prizes, giving band concerts,
free moving picture tickets and doing ev-
erything possible to make this one gala
event fer the people of Atlantic County.

Car Owning in India.

According to the United States De.
partment of Commerce automobile
shipments to India have SHOWN an
increase. This will be good news to
a missionary who has just left Ameri-
ca for the East and who soon will
be taking his car out of storage for
use again over the Hindu highways.
He has taken along with him a
steel barrel full of good engine oil.
He SHE'D at balloon tires, however,
fearing he would have trouble with
the wheel size Wheels are going to
be a problem for him anyway. for he
expects to find them dry as a bone
and has made plans to soak them in
water for a few days before trying to
run the car.
While in America he was enterpris-
ing enough to spend week working
In a service station that specializes on
his make of car. Now he can do his
own repair work, an absolute neces-
sity in some parts Of India. About
so miles from his station, however.
there is big automobile repair shop,
but so miles is a long walk.
