TOWN” — Everyone delight;: in s •< i. g and talk- j ing with the man who i proud of tin* town in which he lives. He is the man to whom HOMK really no an someth up. He is tii<* man who live a happy, con tented life both under hi* own root and outside. He i-. the sort of iru*: who will In found consistently doing hi* trading In his home tow i. H< i ntisfie I and | h: ppy in the 'bought that he is deal ng with friends and neighbors and that in so doing he is doing his bit toward the r«>ni| letif.n oj a foundation .ueh as every solid, substantial, prog es ive town should have. t»rdi larily, th‘ man who consistently patronizes home trade is the thrifty, dependable and successful cit'zcn. He i known as a civic loo ter and he grows up with hi* town and prospers a* it pro; per*. He buy* at home, not only because he lik.s to throw his trade to the home merchant, but also because, being a tn.cful man, he knows what he want and wants to se>- what he i; buy ing. He doe ; not believe in buying goods .unsight, unseen ” and he isn't going to take unnecessary chances by buying from a picture or a printed description In n Mai! Order Catalog. | The fly-by night citizen, the unsettled, tl dissatisfied individu:!, is usually the one III wi ii buy away trom home, front Mail | 0. der Houses und stori a in the big |[ cities. He buys elsewhere because his 1. u ie u>.vn m'^att* little to him. He i* a drift r through life, no matter whether he l.o « town mun or n former, a mere moth attracted hr a far awr.y flame. He has no ‘vident prosperity of his own be cause he ha not joined forces with p*o*perty. In other words he has not ideef.feid himself with those thing* that build up the community :*nd help *o make 'or wealth, pro/re** and content ment. It i a well known fact that th. Mail Order Catalog is one of the most dan gerous competitors the local merchant has to contend with and loyal citizens of the Valley shot Id how a solid front by refusing to send or spend their money away front home and with strangers. There is no denying the fact that the big Catalog Houses know their stuff. They hrnadca t their wondetful works of art with keen foresight and pre cision. Knowing just how to work upon tin* minds of the buying public they show up the V wares so beautifully, and make their pric.-s look so attractive, that many a dollar is -ent away to them and thus lost forever to the Valley, when. -j a natter of • et, th* buyer could probably have found a lo ttcr grade o‘‘ goods right here at home and at even lower prices. \ STOP AND THlNlC A MOMENT. FOLKS, before you send away that check or Mottey Orde . WHO PAYS FOR THAT TREMENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE < AT AI.OCi? Who pays for that terrific overhead expen -e included in rental*, salaries, postage, insurance and general upkeep? YOU PAY IT FOLKS, and in so doing you h Ip to support the Rig Store in another city to the loss and detriment of Valley Firm, who really deserve your patronage. DO A LITTLE FIGURING ON YOUR OWN HOOK. Take the above into con sult ration then add the cost of tratis- j portation to your out-of-town purchase and take into consideration the fact that the class of goods you it i apt to be what is called “seconds.*” Also con sider the trouble you may have in secur ing an equitable sdju tine t n case the goods prove of inferior quality and hence unsatisfactory. Just siz.e i* all up from a fair common Sense point of view and you will not be so teiuly to send out ide dealers your trade. Hy the way, do you realize just what is meant by the teim “seconds"?
