serving you in the most satisfactory
manner. Our many customers indorse
our merchandise and efficiency in
workmanship. We are one Of YOU and
right here where you can get quick
service. IT is not wise to procrasti-
nate, however, and we urge you to
send your order promptly SO we can
keep busy.
Everything being equal, is II rot
logical that you patronize home in
dustry? If for any reason you do not
understand our quotations we would
be only too glad to have you write
us. Let us get acquainted"
From the context Of the line which
preceded the portion of the letter
quoted we would infer that the Gus
toner was to have 30 days from in
voice date to pay for any envelopes
ordered. We wonder how many OF our
Island concerns would be able to stand
the shock Of the assurance that they
would receive their money thirty days
from date of delivery. Either there
would be number of merchants dead
from shock or else there would be a
jubilee that would startle the most
liberal.
Like practically all of us here in
business this envelope company finds
itself In straitened circumstances de-
spite the fact that 1t has many Gus
toners able to indorse its merchan-
disc and efficiency In workmanship
1t has nothing on the Island business
people for there is not one of them
who will not indorse every article they
sell. Those in the manufacturing end
can find any number of local GUS
toners willing to vouch for their effic-
iency in Workmanship. The News
Record, for instance, has the reputa-
ton Of turning out creditable job
work. In addition 1t enjoys reputa-
ton of being ready and willing to
print all Of the notices, and do Its
bit to boost every project of the Is
land organizations. Do we get all the
job printing? We suspect not, but we
get all of the notices to print free, and
funny as 1t may seem we don't hest
tate about printing them. In like
manner many of the local concerns
are entirely forgotten until a donation
is required or a ticket to be sold
then they all are Island concerns, re-
gardless of whether they have been
when there we're dollars to be spent.
This church envelope company also
stresses the fact that we are one OF
you. We wonder how many pounds
of coffee they would donate to the
church suppers coming up; If they
would wait for their money until the
next crop is harvested. They must
have work SO they can keep busy. Well
right here on the Island there are q
number of concerns in the same con-
dition.
But that closing paragraph is a
classic and full Of truth. Everything
being equal, is it not logical that you
patronize home industry?-Let us
get acquainted. Alright, let's. Let's
find out that we have number OF
fine professional men on the Island
Let's get acquainted with the pre-
scription druggist that we have and
not get our prescriptions filled in the
city. Let's remember that we have a
big concern manufacturing dairy and
poultry feed that pays hundreds OF
dollars to building up the Island. Let's
analyse the situation and awaken to
the fact that in the long run our
merchants are offering us mer-
chandise that is consistently as low as
we cen find elsewhere.
Let's not be misled by the few lost
leaders advertised in the city dailies.
When we come to build let us at least
give our local lumber dealers a chance
to quote prices, not just to have the
fun of carrying our accounts when we
need few dollars worth of lumber.
Let's get acquainted in fact as well as
theory, and even though times aren't
any too good let's try the system that
the church envelope company advo-
Gates and get and keep all of the bust
ness for the Island that is humanity
possible.
