DE SOTO TRAI
ARROW . . . S'
. RESTAURANT
RIKES AGAIN
If the person the DE SOTO TRAIL ARROW points to will
stop by the restaurant by Sunday a free meal is theirs. Who will
the arrow point to next week? It may be you! (Advertisement).
. . because you deal with
folks you know!
# The moment you enter one of your local stores,
you feel right at home. "Good Morning, Mrs. Jones,"
"Hi Bill," "How are you doing, Junior?", the friendly
sales clerk sings out.
Everybody likes this. We all like to be recognized
and mad? to feel at home and to know that our
patronage is really appreciated. Shopping at home
can give you that inner satisfaction that you can
never get out-of-town.
But there is, more to it than just the friendly feel
ing. By knowing you well, the local stores get to
know your tastes and preferences. There's no end
to the personal touches that the local stores include
in their service without extra charge.
Get that sort of service in some other community?
Positively, no ! It's strictly a home-town deal.
? " ? I
and besides you get an
EXTRA dividend
The money you spend in your home town stores
is the only thing that makes their growth possible.
With your patronage they can improve and expand
their services ? with all that these services mean to
your every-day existence. Without your patronage,
they could lose out, and so could you.
