Murphy. North Carolina, November 30, iui*4. Trade / v theco Wmu xm Recently tliere has been a movement in Murphy to increase floor space in several of the large department stores and others have been increasing facilities for a larger output. All of which means that Murphy is gradually becoming the purchasing renter of this county. Inc eased business is coming with better times and it i> particularly cheerful to notice that local merchants are enjoying some of the trade that heretofore has been going out of the county to the mail order houses. Hy centralizing the buying in the home town, the purchaser is not only boosting his own community but himself as well. Many people are misled into the fact that by purchasing from the mail order house, where sometimes an article may !?? bought for a rent or two cheaper, that lho\ a r savins money. That is not flic case. Tin* home merc hant pays taxes and in main other supports the community in which he l.\es. The mail order houses, generally situated in large northern cities, give nothing to the rural *" communities for schools and roads and improvements and it is in these sections that they do the most of their business. There the money is tied V l,P* The item of inferior quality mint also he eon idcied. Any merchant is due a legitimate profit off the mrecliandise he sells, lie must make a living and meet his expenses. When more people trade villi him. the volume of business will necessarily lower his prices and the community is % that much nearer prosperity. Once in a while there is an article that can not he purchased locally or the rareness and expense of which does not justify the merchant keeping it on his shelves. In that ease the article must be obtained from some other place. Usually these objects are pieces of mechanism that can be order from the factory. Otherwise there is no piece of go-vis, quality co i. idereil, that can not b? purc hased in the local community just as cheaply and -cw. mically as fr?.m the mail order houses. The local merchant has his goods on display. One wishing to make a purchase may go in the store and pick out the desired goods. Ordering * I Will lite tllj is UU) lllg LFllIIUi>. Furthermore when a purchase is made locally s, should the custom be dissatisfied the merchant, who has built his reputation through his customc , will refund the money or gladly exchange the goods. Ordei ing through the mail may cause delay and occasionally goods come to the purchaser of a different type and quality than the order called for. Much more time and delay and expense is cau.-ed in the exchange. Often the exchange is not worth the cost of the article and toavoid confusion the purchaser keeps the article when it docs not nearly serte the purpose. Low cost production and cheap labor allows the mail order houses to buy in large quantities and thus loner their price until other competitors can hardly meet it. If merchandise is ordered is not in stork, they send substitute goods, which the buyer has a perfect right to reject if he wants to. The home merchant wus born and raised in the community which he serves. All his life he has worked, lived and contributed to the welfare of home folks. He gives to the schools, he gives to the state, he gives to the church. He knows what his neighbors wanl.L Their needs are his first consideration. Aever would he think of passing off inferior quality. He has a personal interest in The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, North C A COl \TY GOLF COURSE The Scout was very much interested in a suggestion made last week that Federal Emergency Relief administration funds he obtained to build a golf course somewhere in Cherokee county. A committee will be formed soon to further investigate the possibilities of g'-tting tli appropriation and cho>"?ing a possible site. Ii has bi m suggested that the course l>e built - mewhere hetwr-n h?-re and Andrews. That, it seems. would be the mo?t logical location and would be convenient for everyone in the county. According to present plans the course would I?e open to anyone who wished to play for a small fee of. say. seventy-five cents. Club members would pay yearly dues for the upkeep of the club. Mr. T. A. Case, of Murphy, who represents the Champion Fibre Company in this section, first thought of the possibility of having the* course built through FKRA funds when he noticed that a 1 course had recnth hern completed near Blue Ridge. Ga. Since that time he has talked to a number of prominent persons in both Murphy and | Andrews and everyone seems greatly interested in J the move. It is said that Mr. R. \V. Gray, Cherokee couty relief administrator has been approached on the subject and believes the funds are available for such purposes. Such a course would naturally add a lot to Murphy and many of the people here with leisure time would find much ical enjoyment on the links as golf is a very fasc inating game when one learns to plav it. It would provide certain amounts of exercise and an outlet for leisure that is not available in this section now. We should consider, too, the bearing the course would have in drawing tourists to this section and offering an attraction that people of the tditrist class generally look for before spending the season. There is no doubt that the links would draw people from all over the country to this section that do not stay here now simply because the county has no adequate facilities for golfing. There is the possibility, too. of erecting a club house on the grounds and. if possible, build it close to a lake or stream that would certainly lend an attractive air to the club. Although the course would he open to anyone who wished to play, a ' club might he formed with the club house as headquart! rs and dances, meetings and social gatherings could he held there. It i< hoped that the funds are appropriated and work begun on the course as soon as possible. It would be a great thing to the county and would provide clean recreation for the people of Cherokee. DIG TRE.XCH SILOS Many farmers of (his section have been following the advice of Mr. A. Q. ketner. the Cherokee county agent, in digging trench silos as a cheap and economical means of storing feed for the winter. Such a method has been found profitable time and time again. While feed costs are up, live stock can be kept well fed through this means at a very small cost. With the addition of 15 trench silos this fall, the county agent is working hard to interest the local farmers and expects to have at least 10 in the county next year. Many ure following his advice and he takes great pains in planning the jnh so it will be to the farmer's best advantage. It was pointed out some time ago that an acre of silage is worth much more to a farmer than the price he will get if he sells the corn and fodder outright. Agricultural experts all ovet the country have been advising farmers and instructing county agents to dig more trench silos. the buyer. Go to him after his store has closed and he will gladly go to trouble to serve. And there are merchants in this section that have given with nothing hut a promise and good will in return?when there was no other way. Poverty can not be staved off with a post card. The large city business house credit system has won favor among many people. The reason . it goes ahead is because it is so profitable. A large piece of machinery is sold on terms. For this service a percentage fee is paid that greatly increases the profit on the article over a peri'-d ol time. Let something unforseen happen to the pur chaser so that he misses a few payments and the article goes back to the seller and the money that has l>een paid is lost. The community merchant is a friend as well as a business asso iate. All in all he serves his customers better than anyone else. Patronize him, and * patfon'ze yor self. 9 X ?
