Says Local People
Paying 7 90 Much

On another page of this edition
the j. Neils Lumber Co. makes a
comparison in the prices which are
paid by citizens of Libby to out
side concerns for new roofs and
the price which the local company
asks for the same identical work.
Earl Switzer, head of the retail
department, has prepared actual
figures which he presents to the
public along with, THE J. Neils
Lumber Co can give you much
lower prices and at the same low
payment rate. If material is pur-
chased from us local labor will be
used to apply the new roof, thus
the money is kept in circulation in
our own vicinity and not put to
work in some town in another state.
They don't worry about helping us
along financially on our schools and
roads, so why should local people
patronize them when they do no.
thing more than take the money out
of the state and keep it out?"
Another argument which Mr.
Switzer puts up is the comparison
in costs. If the reader will turn to
the inside pages he will see the
proven difference in the costs OF
identical roofing jobs.
