Their interests and yours a:e one. They pay taxes here, contribute to churches, schools, charities and other local institutions that are requisite to the welfare of any community, com-munity, not for any selfish gain or reason, but because these U)c)al institutions aie their own as well as yours and they are glad to do their share. Do mail order houses do that? Do peddler's ped-dler's or out of town business interests of any nature do it? No, they don't. They take but never put and you can't keep on taking frcm anything without eventually impoverishing it and having nothing left from which to take for either you or the merchant. Isn't it good logic and cfcmmort sense then, for ycu to patronize patron-ize these local merchants who have helped and will continue to help make this a finer comrniunity for ycu and your children and their children also? These local merchants do not ask charity. They offer a full treasure of value for every dollar received. Their goods are priced fairly, all cf them. You don't pay fifty cents for or.e dollar dol-lar article and then turn around and pay a dollar and fifty cents for another dollar article. They don't resort to such subterfuge. You get sixteen ounces to every pound, thirty-six inches to every yard, a hundred cents of value and service for every dollar With a smile wrapped in every bundle. LOCAL MERCHANTS ARE LOCAL ASSETS. HELP THEM THAT THEY MAY HELP YOU". One must remember that successful business houses are an absolute essential to the progress of any tewn. In fact a community com-munity cannot exist without them.
