Show "Shop at Home" Gaining Impetus In City Checking with a few of the local retail merchants, it has been emphatically em-phatically proven that the "shop at home" campaign recently conducted con-ducted through the news columns of this paper h;is been effective. One local merchant stated that last Saturday's business at his store was the largest single day's business busi-ness in the history of the establishment, establish-ment, and he has been in operation for more than 25 years. Quoting this merchant, "I am positive pos-itive that the "shop at home" stories in your paper, earlier this spring, coupled with the fact that car owners own-ers are taking rubber shortage seriously seri-ously has resulted in a big increase in business in local stores I remember re-member distinctly that your articles emphasized that a two-way savins would result from patronizing your home town stores. It's a certainty local prices are on a parity with big city prices, in many instances much lower, and your suburban shopper does save tire wear and gas consumption, con-sumption, which is today a paramount para-mount item. Keep the good woik up." |
