Good Roads Are
Aid to Merchant

Good roads development, the
automobile, bus lines and other ele-
ments adding to the ease with
which people may travel is boon
for all local merchants, says A.
Y. Cazenave, manager Of the j. G.
Penny store in this city.
This is clearly shown in the vol
ume of business that is being done
at retail at the present time, espe-
cially in such necessities as dry
goods and other department store
merchandise.
The store keeper who is on the
watch for new customers can get
them in steadily increasing num-
bers. This is clearly shown by the
increase in business done by the J.
C. Penny stores in the past six
months over the same period of last
year. This increase amounts to
$l3,637 500 and is the largest in
crease shown by any large store OPP
Grating company.
New customers are coming into
every town in the country, brought
by motor ears and trains. They are
buying over the counter at a great
er rate than ever before and they
are showing excellent Judgment in
their selection of materials and
styles.
The constant migration of fami-
lies by motor car, the influx of tour
lists and the general movement of
the population of the country is also
affording the local merchants rare
chance for increasing sales volume.
Advertising, cooperation with
customers, attractive store fronts
and the faculty of being wide awake
to the new business conditions
which modern transportation has
created will serve to make any we'll
organized community a better place
in which to do business than ever
before.
The time is ripe for local business
clubs and organizations to popular
ize their respective cities by furn-
ishing attractions and conveniences
which will bring the travelling pop
ulation into the business districts. -
