Greater Cleveland has become Valuetown,
U.S.A, to show the rest of the country that we
believe there’s even greater prosperity ahead.
You can do your part by buying things you
want and need now’.
Merchants and businessmen in this area are
striving to do their part. They realize that
VALUE for you means VITALITY for our town.
Business and civic leaders feel confident that
our town can lead the way out of this slump we
are in at present.
It can be done if everyone who is regularly
employed, buys NOW those things that they have
been thinking about buying not “holding off
until we see how things turn out.”
To stimulate buying, merchants here are go
ing all out to offer you real values in return
for your investment in bringing vitality to our
town.
The talk of the town is “now is the time to
buy.”
Whatever you have in mind, home furnish
ings, appliances, clothes for all members of the
family, a car, gardening tools—most anything
you can think of—they all can be had now, close
to home.
As we have often mentioned in the past—
your neighborhood merchant is in position to
offer you values, personal service, and plenty of
free parking close to where you do your shopping.
Neighborhood shopping districts throughout
Greater Cleveland are stepping up their efforts to
stimulate “Buy Now.”
In some sectors—pennies are being given out
with a slogan “If you have cents—buy now.”
There is actually no limit to what can be done
by the merchant to stimulate buying interest.
For the next several weeks, our advertisers
will put extra effort into bringing their value
attractions to you through the pages of our paper.
Plan your trips through “Valuetown”—close
to home, by checking the ads.
Save time. Save money.
And we’ll do all we can through our pages to
be of assistance to you and the neighborhood
merchants.
