GETTING THE HOME TOWN DOLLAR

The trading at home fever breaks out
time and again in every town and city. 1t
has done so repeatedly in Key West and
unless all signs fail will do so in the
future.
No one is more interested in support
ing home industries and businesses than
The Citizen and so, we wonder, just why
the many previous campaigns have failed
to produce lasting impressions and per-
manent effect. Why the necessity for the
revival of the Campaign so often?
Merchants, interested in winning the
home town dollar, might ponder the query.
Buyers, as any one admits, seek bargains.
They will go to the places where they
think that they can get the most for their
money Does the home merchant always
bear this in mind? Does he not, some
times, expect to get the home town dollar
without deserving it?
We can hear at once, as some local
merchants read this far, the snort of
superiority, as the thought goes down that
The Citizen is criticising the local mer-
chants. Well, boys, to be honest, some of
you need just bit of reform. Some of
you have been careless in the appearance
of your store, backward in the display of
your goods and chary about extending
courteous, prompt and dependable service
to back up what you sell.
There are, of course, in Key West ex-
emplary local merchants They are the
pace settlers. Others, who are tempted to
complain of the mail order businesses and
the chain stores, might cast their eyes
around the community and see what the
successful Independents are doing and
figure out for themselves why they seem
to get along in the face of modern COM
petition.
The answer is not so hard to find.
These alert, local merchants are on their
toes, know their business, manage it them
selves, serve the public and give more for
the money than their competitors. They
are pleasing their public through personal
service, and the people go back for more.
It is the only way to get, or to keep bust
ness. OF course, you will find that most
of them are believers in advertising, recog-
nizing its service to modern merchandis-
ing.
There is no reason that we know of
why a merchant in Key West can't meet
competition. He can do it, if he will If
he does he will get the vast majority of
the home town dollars

LAND SINKS IT'S FEET

News dispatches from Idaho tell of a
striking sinking canyon" caused by the
slow settling of farm lands, marked by
the appearance of huge holes that are
widening the earth and threatening TO I'M
dermine the beds of the Salmon river.
Biologists say that the cracks APP
pearing over a tract Of ten acres of land
are due to the collapse of lava tube
created two or three million years ago,
which has been fastened by the softenine
of the earth through irrigation.
Whatever the cause it certainly is ar.
resting TO read of mans farm suddenly
beginning to move downward as some Of
his lard sinks as much as IT'S feet. While
the same thing has happened elsewhere it
always amazes individuals who have for
many years admired terra fIrma. "

SCIENCE MIGHT AID MARRIAGE

Human beings have undertaken about
every form of investigation and study that
their imagination suggests, with perhaps
an exception in regards to the science OF
successful family life
Why the church or the state should
expect two young people to get married
and stay happy as a matter of course, is
beyond our feeble brain. That there is
much to be learned in the habits of living
and that the experience of older married
couples is valuable to younger mates if
available, ought not to be subject to dis
pute.
Somebody ought to attempt to write
book on the subject of marriage, its dutieg
and responsibilities, with advice and aids
of sensible and practical nature. Love
may be miracle, and we incline to be
lieve that it is, but unless backed up by
some intelligent cultivation it will die, like
any other plant
