"One of the greatest movements
in local success Is the buy at home
movement which has gradually been
gaining impetus during the past few
years,’ says George E. Ash, man
ager of the J. C. Penney Co., store
in this city.
"It is the keynote to a successful
city or town, the expression of con
fidence in the town and its ability
to meet the competition of the rest
of the United States.
"The buy at home movement is a
co-operative one, requiring the in
terested help of the local merchant,
the local residents and the local
newspapers and other factors in
publicity.
“If the townspeople show confi
dence in the local merchant he can,
in turn repay their confidences by
carrying a line of merchandist
which will give them a range of se
lection and a standard of value
which will equal that to be found
in any city or town within trading

admitted to probate. It was

Lancashire, disposing of an
valued at more than $100,000.
“The local merchant owes it to
the townspeople to tell them what
he has in stock and what values he
is able to offer. Here Is where the
local newspaper becomes the means
of communication between the mer
chant and the customer.
“With modem methods of trans
portation .with modern buying fac

veniences, the local store In a city
or town is never more than a few
hours away from the very latest ma
terials, styles and values.
"The metropolitan city with mil
lions of people, or the average city
or town with 2 500 or 25.000 people
can be served equally well and to
the same advantage by the manu
facturers, producers end designers.
"The autombile has shown this to
be true. More and more .the live
merchant in other lines is coming
to the customer first.
"The customer reads the local
newspaper, sees that right at his or
her door there are selections in
clothing, footwear, furniture, the en
tire range of necessities and luxuries
which are metropolitan in their
scope.
"If right then, he or she goes to
the local store, the first step in in
creasing local prosperity is taken.
WitH increase in local patronage of
local stores come an Increase in

“Steps 'that the local merchant
