Ik is only after pioneering days have' hew accom plished, after these towns afford a sure return that any of these outside Chains Will consent to go in. That Is why the Ural people in att commun ities should resent the uruspation of their business life by these outside stores which are really foreign to ev ery local good interest . ?- One reason for trading with our home gzeocers is to exchange value bfpMt; services with each other end the profits of all expended locally for the betterment of the community than to reaeh ?at supe '-efficiency which takes every thing that is the result of such efficiency away from us. Our local merchants help run and support our churches, schools and lo cal public organizations, therefore we should feel it our duty to support them by trading with them. Until proper and well organised efforts are made to educate the buy ing public, the independent grocer will continue to lose ground and the public to make the mistakes which will sooner or later mean their own downfall because they would not trade with the bp,me grocer, ;' * ELI JOYNERj JB.
