way to a bigger and better Williamsibn
is through the growth and development
of its commercial organizations. To be
able to offer you bigger stocks of mer
chandise, merchants must have your
trade. They can not hire more help nor
can they put more money into circula

buildings if their stores are to be used
only as emergency shops. Think this
over. ' v
