Do Your Shopping
At Home Town Stores
The families of Perquimans County
are beginning their Christmas shop
ping, considering the purchases that
must be made for the holiday season.
We take this opportunity of sug
gesting to all buyers that they give
local merchants an opportunity to
supply their wants. The least that
can be expected is that those who live
in Hertford will inspect local stocks
before thinking about spending their
money elsewhere.
Trading at home is a form of civic
loyalty that pays dividends. It is one.
way for every citizen to make a con
tribution to the business interests that
support local institutions, and give
employment to local people. If all of
us would resolve to buy at home, so
far as possible, the result would be
noticeable. '
The lure of buying something cheap
often fools buyers but price is not the
only guide to intelligent spending. Of
course, given equal values, the buyer
is naturally going to spend his or her
money where the price is cheaper.
That is the rule followed by success
ful merchants in purchasing the goods
they sell and there is nothing against
it
However, local merchants are en
titled to a chance tor sell you what
you want at a price you can afford.
They are not entitled to charge you
more for the same goods than reli
able merchants elsewhere. We feel
sure that our merchants can meet
competition and that their stocks are
ample to offer you variety in selec
tion. Buyers should never forget the
saying that no matter how chraD you
make an ' article, there is always
somebody else who can make an in
ferior product and sell it for less. Jn
fact, beware of "just as good" mer
chandise. It is economy to buyrec
ognized values, that stand up under
use and have behind them the guar
antees that none but local
