IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of Mrs. Georgia
Hines, who passed away March 8,
1884.
Her suffering ended with the day;
Yet lived she at it's close and
breathed the long night away
In statute like repose.
But when the Sun in all his state
illuminated the eastern skies
she passed thru glories
Morning gate, and walkde into
paradise.

YOUR HOROSCOPE

Pisces is the sign of persons born
from February Goth to March goth.
These people are very loyal, espe-
cially so to their friends, and are
apt to defend them whether right or
wrong. It is not an usual thing for
Pisces people to sacrifice comforts
and even the necessities of life in
order that they may help others.

ton to cultivation of mind and per-

SMALL MERCHANTS AND CHAIN STORES

The steadily increasing power of the chain stores is
proving formidable handicap to the small Independent
retail merchants The chain store forms type of compe
tton which not easy for the operators of small retail
shops to meet
Yet the place of the independent merchant in the
munity vital Such stores usually operated bv
local business who know the people in their neigh
borhoods personally and often accomodate them with
credit, when they lack ready cash with which to pur
chase their groceries other provisions. Independent
merchants also keep money they in circulation in
the cities in which they preside.
Such conditions for the most part do not obtain with
chain stores In first place, these owned
by powerful financial corporations with headquarters

clerks they employ have not authority to extend credit to
customers also the large of taken daily
by the chain stores sent of town to headquarters
of the corporation
Tie main argument in favor of the chain is that
is usually in the position to sell some of its goods bit
cheaper than the independent merchant, because the
cooperation buys in wholesale and carload lots while the
small dealer is forced to buy from iobbers.
The only effective way for the independent retail
chants to meet this competitor is by uniting as individual
units of powerful organization which buy whole
sale quantities.

made by many local independent merchants who are af
