MERCHANTS
ATTRIBUTE TRADE
INCREASE TO NRA
Columbia, S. C "Merchants re
alize that -it is the NRA that is
building up buying power and put
ting more and more money in the
hands of the people who patronize
i-etailers," said C. S. Lemon presi
dent of the South Carolina Mer
chants' Association in describing his
personal survey; just completed.
"I have come into intimate contact
with business conditions in all parts
of the state, and I can truthfully
say that the average gain during the
last . 9 months has been from 29 to
60 per cent and in some cases more.
The way me-rehants have backed the
NRA has been a revelation. So ar
as I know, not one single South
Carolina retailer has had to be pen
alized for violation of his code. A
Wonderful spirit o? optimiism pre
vails among the merchants and the
people, and it is the sort of optim
ism which temporiiry setbacks can
not adversely affect."
