Show THE MURRAY Why Not Shop At Home? Wherever you go throughout this nation, a problem common to almost all communities, regardless of their size, is that of keeping their residents at home when it comes to buying. Businessmen from San Diego, Calif, to Bangor, Me. have wrestled with this weighty struggle for years 'n years. Some have made progress. Others, either tired of the fight or convinced they couldn't win, just gave up and let nature take its course, so to speak. Actually, there are two sides to the problem, regardless of what community you refer to. Here in Murray, we've a complex situation because we've not only the competition of a nearby metropolis but also that of several thriving small shopping areas. All are stepping in for a share of the dollar spent by our residents. The people themselves, accustomed to nothing but the best in products and service, complain ofttimes that they 'can't get the things thev want in Murray." Theirs' is not a groundless argument. Murray docs lack some services and needs expansion of some others. Bv and large, though, you can buy pretty well in our community. Yet, a great many people have at sonic past time convinced themselves otherwise and( they're not willing to change their minds. Of course, the obligation lies with the businessman himself. If he is seeking business, he must prepare himself to handle ft. If he has competition, he must either compete on an equal basis, or figure out some method of bridging the gap between what he has to offer and what the competitor offers. Needless to say, it's mighty difficult for a small businessman in Murray to shop-at-ho- Thursday, May 3, 1956 (UTAH) EAGLE Entered as second class matter at the postoffice of Salt Lake City, Utah, under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879 and published every Thursday at 155 Court Avenue by the Murray Printing Company. equip himself equally with the big businessman of Salt Lake City. But if he wants to scrap for his share of the shopping dollar, he must. On the other hand, too many residents of our community are prone to forget the the revenue other aspects of business from tax dollars which supoprts the many things most folks take for granted. The average residential valuation in Murray is not high enough to really pay its way. Few residents are actually buying their share of such services as police protection, fire protection, adequate schools, street lighting and the myriad other things that are important to all of us but too often accepted without thought. The dollars which are making these things possible in Murray are, in the main, taken from the coffers of business. Consequently, that grocer downtown is helping to pay for your child's education; the druggist is shouldering a big share of the burden of providing you with police protection. Is he doing it without your business? He is if you never patronize him, for it goes without saying that your dollars spent in Salt Lake, Sugar House, Midvale or somewhere else never make their way back to Murray where they can be directly beneficial to you. So one tiling the average citizen might consider is that perhaps you owe it to your local businessman to give him a chance. If he can't furnish what you need at a price comparable to what you'll pay elsewhere, then you certainly do not owe him further loyalty. But why not give him an opportunity to continue doing business in and his? your home town J. M. Cornwell, Editor Don I. Cowley, Advertising Manager Charles O. Wight, Sr., Mechanical Foreman R. R.
