With improved roads and the advent of the motor profiled vehicle the farmers and their families seek the town where their wants ean be best met and where they are sure of a courteous reception. No town in the State has mode modern stores, or better stocked emporiums, than Concord. In fact, a visitor can com pletely equip his farm, outfit his home and dress his family at prices which are in line with those of the larger cities Even during the period of inflation following the cessation of hostilities in Europe. Concord merchants were free from tlie prevailing spirit of profiteering and such a thing as hiking prices to fit the occasion was unheard of in this community. i The strength of the town as a eomroer iial center Jins rested in the spirit of fairness which its* merchants have fos tered.
