GASTONIA GIRL Willie
MISS MYRTLE WARREN GETS $5IN GOLD
Second Prize of 62.50 in Gold for
Second Bewt Article on "Why Gas
ton People Should Trade at
Home" Won by Miss Alma Wil
liams of Ileflsemer City High
Kchool Ten Excellent KeaHons
for Trading at Home.
A few weeks ago The Gazette of
fered a prize of $5 in gold for the
best ten reasons on the subject
"Why Gaston People Should Trade
at. Home" submitted by any high
school pupil In the county. A sec
ond prize of $2.50 In gold for the
next best article on the same sub
ject was offered. The publishers are
frank to say that they were a little
disappointed because more did not
enter the contest. The lack of inter
est, however, is attributable, we
think, to the fact that for weeks
prior to the first of April the high
scbool pupils were busily engaged in
making preparations for the county
commencement and for the triangu
lar debates and since' that time have
been engaged in making prepara
tions for the several commence
ments. Quite a number entered the
contest and the publishers only re
gret that a prize was not forthcom
ing for each and every one of the
contestants. In the nature of the
case, however, this could not be.
Miss Myrtle Warren, of Gastonla,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. War
ren and one of the Gastonia high
school's brightest pupils, won the
first prize while the second went to
Miss Alma Williams, a popular stud
ent in the Bessemer City high
schools.
Below the prize-winning articles
are reprinted and others entered in
the contest will be published later:

pull together. . ' -;
,In the first place 'we. must be
united people. - "In union there Is
strength." We must stand united
commercially, If we would grow.
Fecond: We should have town
pride enough to want to see our mer
chants succeed in their businesses.
It will be Impossible for them to do
so if we don't give them our trade.
Third: We should want to trade
where we know the merchants and
have confidence in them.
Fourth: It is easier and cheaper
to do our trading at home and there
by help home industries. '
Fifth: We should trade at home
because the merchants help us in all
financial affairs. When we want help
on charity, schools or any public
work, we do not run to another town
to get it. I believe in feeding the
horse that pulls' the' load.
Sixth: Tou get the worth of your
money and keep your money at home
at the same time.
Seventh: It is a reflection on our
merchants' tastes and ability to buy
the right things to be running to an
other town to trade.
Eighth: If we ever ask credit, it
is at home.
Ninth: Because we have nice
stores and up-to-date goods, polite
and efficient clerks.
Tenth: If we trade at home it
will increase business and thereby
give employment to more people.
One class cannot prosper, without
benefitting some one else.
Then let's trade at home, the
place where we are treated the best
and have the privilege of grumbling
the most.
WHY WE SHOULD TRADE AT
HOME.
By Alma Williams, Bessemer City,
Winner of Second Prize
To receive Justice yourself and to
help in the prosperity of your town,
qne of the most essential things is to
do your trading at home.
No one will go into the mercan
tile business in your town if the peo
ple go to some other place to trade.
Thus the town doesn't prosper.
You say you cannot get the class
of goods you want at home. This is
because you go elsewhere to trade.
If you would always trade at. home,
and the merchant was aware of this,
he could afford to keep every class
of &pods; otherwise be cannot do
this...
To trade at home is in keeping
with the golden rule.
Help the home merchant, then
you help one that helps you. He
must pay tax for carrying on busi
ness, so his money is used for the
benefit of the citizens.
He owns personal property, is in
terested in the public welfare and
the growth of the town, because
your town is his town.
He keeps his goods on display;
you don't buy before you see, and he
is ever ready to tell you what is best
and will always take back unsatisfac
tory goods. He will not have you
buy anything to his knowledge which
is a fake. Why? Because he expects
to live in the community and must
depend on the citizens for patronage.
If you want to see your town
prosper, then spend your dollar at
home.
When you get your merchandise
from mail order houses you can't see
what you get until it arrives; then,
if some article is unsatisfactory, you
must have the trouble of returning
It. This is a waste of time and also
a great disadvantage.
When a merchant has an excellent
sale for his goods, he can afford to
sell cheaper; therefore trade at
honje, and by doing bo. help mer
chant, town and yourself.
