Boones shopping district has TAX
en- on a most festive atmosphere. The
show windows are packed with the
choicest of Christmas goods, and an
inspection of the prices proves that
values to be obtained here are equal
ly as good as those to be found in
the larger cities.
A stroll through downtown Boone
is just like trip to Fairyland. Dolls,
toys, gift haberdashery, gift candies
and sweetmeats, choice ladies' gar
ments and mems clothing with hol-
iday note greet you on every hand.
Extreme taste has been used in win
dow decorations, and the scene pre-
sented by some of them just makes
you know that there is Santa
Claus. Your walk continues and you
see choice holiday books on display,
toilet goods in gift boxes, Kodaks,
flashlights, mechanical toys, shaving
sets, monographs, radios, gift lin
gerie, late-model shoes for the Yule
season, and hundreds of other sug
gestions for gift buyers. You pause
at this window and that, wondering
just what you will pick for Her or
Him from such wide varieties.
And then there is furniture for the
home, automobiles for the family,
tires for the family car, and dozens
of useful automobile accessories.
And jewelry-say, there's plenty of
it, for father, mother, sister, brother
and sweetheart, each piece of il fair
ly radiating the Christmas spirit.
The more you look the more YOU
know that Boone is the ideal shop
ping center; that slections here are
the widest ever carried in North
western North Carolina, and that
the merchants of the Watauga me-
tropolis are offering you prices that
will gladden. the heart and leave the
old bankroll in fairly good" condi-
ton after the Christmas season has
passed.
Boone merchants are due the pat
ronage of Boone and Watauga peo-
pie. They have invested money in
our town, our schools, our churches
and every other enterprise that goes
to make up the model community.
The money spent with them enriches
Boone banks, helps build and main
tain Boone's streets and sidewalks,
and regularly is returned into local
trade channels.
Money spent in other towns is
gone forever. Its value is absolutely
lost. 1t helps to build up foreign cen
ters of trade and drains, continually,
the enterprises of the home town.
Boone business men support Boone
charities and extend the helping hand
to Boone people in need. After TAX
ing all these things into considera-
ton, any fair-minded citizen will
readily agree that Boone people
should trade in Boone.
A careful pcrusal CT the aGveytis-
ing columns will greatly aid the
thrifty shopper. Suggestions ranging
from the lowly yo-yo to building and
loan stock and Christmas savings ac-
counts are included in the lists. You
can't go wrong when you deal with
local business men, for they are right
here with us to back up the mer-
chanoise they SELL make refunds and
adjustments, and see to it, personally,
that every piece of goods sold stands
the test of time and wear. Money
expended in mail order buying pur-
chases, oftentimes, inferior goods at
prices very little smaller than those
found in local stores.
Remember, there are only eleven
more shopping days till Christmas.
You still have plenty of time to Sc
lect your gifts, and make every prep
aration for the Yule season. Boone
merchants insist that you make early
choices while the stocks are fresh
and time unlimited. And, by all
means SPEND YOUR NEY
WITH LOCAL MERCHANTS!
