Show Vol.5. No.31. TRADE AT HOt~E TO BE SLOGAN USE LOCAL STORES AS A RADING MEDIUM AND SHOP EARLY. Midvale, recognized as the leading trading center in this section of the state, again comes to the front with a '?Shop Early Campaign." Nearly every line of merchandise is included in the special price offerings and the buying public is receiving a great opportunity in making Christmas purchases as well as for present and future needs. Local merchants e.re not here today and gone tomorrow. Not rushing into town, grabbing all business to be had, and out again; not by extravagant talk and over-statements , forcing- inferior merchandise upon you; not dodging taxes, civic responsibility and all duUas of citizeDBhip. Such only is the peddler, the canvasser, the self-styled traveling representative, the field manager, who comes at any hour, rings your doorbell, takes your money-and once around the corner--is gone forever. Compare that type with your local me1·chants and business men. 1 our local business men are here 365 days a year, to serve you at your convenience; to ba<..k up the merchandise they sell to you; to share taxes; to help marl:e comnlUnity lift> happier and more prG.-:perous; to rejoiq in your joys; to be neighborly; to :>orrow with ) ou when trouble comes and to stand by you when in need. 'When merchandis, cannot be obta,ined at home under normal and fair trading conditions, buyers are then justified in going to other markets. Local stores are atocked with all that is needed and desirable in seasonable merchandise. Comparison of prices with other towns will convince you that it is always just as cheap, and in many instances cheaper to buy right at home. Why do people travel 25 or possibly 50 miles to save a few cents'! It's met·ely the lure of a bargain and the feeling that you are receivinh som thing for nothing. The majorit) of people will tlavel a long ways tL purchase a single article that wa::c originally priced at ;;;2.00 and .marke<i down to ~1.8~, when they can get tllt. same article from home merchants at a po:>:>ible price of $2.00. The cost ol the mileage would no doubt in most case., oe more than the differenc<c you woa!d save on the price of tht: article purchased. At this tate it would be a great deal chaper to bu) the same art cle at home and spend the difference on something else. Local business men are making a sincere effort to give you good service and the rig·ht merchandise at tht right price. They expect to enjO) yotlr tr-ade on merit alone. When you patronize home merchants you can be quite positive tha.l ~ou will get the very be:;t in qualit:>and service at the very least in cost. Trade at home. Shop and Mail Now Advice of P. 0. Dept. "Shop and mail now" is the slogan which the postoffice department has placed before the mailing public in regard to the annual Christmas rush period. The importance of following the advice set forth by the slogan, is well known to every postal official, clerk and carrier. They realize the importance of the best and quickest service, with the least chance of loss or damage to the public's gifts. A; parcel mailed now is certain of delivery by Christmas and a notice fOOld be placed on the package instructing the receiver ,"Do not open until Christmas." Wrap parcels well with strong paper, and be sure to have your address on only one side. Fragile articles shall be well pack~d agl'-inst breakage. The cooperation of the public is greatly desired to avoid ~ongestion and delay of mail matter, so mail now. COMMUNITY CLUB PLANS ,.
