EVERY REASON TO TRADE WITH
There Is ": continuous effort to
f centralise merchandising in the cities.
r Merchants and mail order houses are
. seeking the trade of tbe country peo-
the farms. ; That they are' succeeding
to too great an extent in those -towns
where the home town merchant is not
on the job is undeniable, t "'; ;
There is little reason why Ferqui-
mans County folks should spend their
money with mail, "order houses, and
wi. tw-dhMiMT-'-'tfe i-
fact that thr shops and stores in
Hertford are, for the most part, far,
better than those s in the average
small town. The matter is .mea
of frequent comment by visitors
who express surprise that there are
such shop, in a town of the size of i
HertfordT. .
There is a reason for this. It is,
not Just an accident that Hertford ,
- merchants nave been aoie to rnain- ;flus Mane Anderson,? Hemby Chap
tain this reputation. The stores of pell 'and Fentress" Winslow attended
Hertford could not have been stocked the Young Friends Conference at
with the quality of merchandise that Guilford College Saturday and Sun-
they. carry if the merchants had not
had the support of tlia jwopto ol the,
business, which riveathem advant-
ages. I Mrs. E. Li Chappell returned home

of the larger towns at a distance,
which ia one of the contributing fac

For there is more to this question
than simply maintaining good shops
