Richland Springs By M'ARIE How Much YOU TRADE at Home? Unnecessary out-of-town buying will' hurt this everyone of us. Our home merchants have invested their capital in carefully selected, reasonably-priced goods to meet our needs and approval. It is doubtful if there will be many cases in which we could get better values and better service and attention anywhere else. We must remember, too, that nothing freshens up a merchant's shelves like brisk home buying: It enables a store to show increasing variety for the benefit of customers. Our merchants are eager to supply the things we want.

Let's see them first before we send our dollars away to enrich other communities.
