buying away from home
Consistency is surely a jewel, but
it ia not possessed by several of Ath
ens’ citizens who talk loudest about
building up the city and patronizing
home industries and buy more goods
away from Athens tbau any other
dues of citizens. It is is an element
of progressiveneas and public spirit
to stand up firmly in suppert of all
the business interests of a city and
nothing will aid more in establish
ing those interests than the patron
age of the people. With the undivi
ded support and patronage of the
citizens they thrive, without this
united support, they necessarily can
not attain t j the highest degree of
prosperity.
Now Athens, probably like all olh
er places, is afflicted with a custom
among certain citizens that is very
detrimental to the business interests
of the city. There is no reason on
earth why this matter should not be
remedied if the people who practice
this thing would only stop and think
the matter over. _
The practice referred to is sending
off to other places for things that
can bo bought right here in Athens.
It is hurtful to the city’s business
interests, and helps not even the
person who thinks he is a making a
little profit by the transaction* for
instance, here is the wife of a lawyer,
who sends to Atlanta or to New
York for different articles of apparel
when they coaid be purchased here
in Athens at a bargain from our
merchants. Suppose one of our
merchants has a law case to be plead
before the jury, does he send off to
Atlanta or New York for an attorney ?
No, he goes straightway and enga
ges that lady’s husband, pays him a
fee and the money pai 1 finds its way
to Atlanta or New York for articles
that could be bought at the mer-
chant’s store. This is a fair sample
of the way in which things are going
ou with some of our people here in
Athens. . " .
Not only is suck_a practice wrong
in principle bat it 1b wrong when
viewed in the light of economy. The
goods purchased away from home
cost just as much when express
charges are added, and additional
charges for sending them back and
forth are to ,be considered. And
again, even if goods are cheaper in
New York than in Athens, it pays to
keep the money here at home and
keep it in circulation. The loud
talker is always orating about send
ing money North for everything, but
be doesn’t practice what he preaches
when it oomes to articles that he
conld buy right here at homd.
The ladles may not stop to think
what they are doing, bat they dis
crimnate against the Athens mer
chants terribly by sending off to
New York and Philadelphia for
goods that they could buy here. Not
only the ladies but the gentlemen
also are always ready to edict the
aid of the merchants for any enter
prise they may be getting up, and
they always get a generous and
hearty response to their solicitations.
And yet the very citizens who de
pend upon the merchants to make
fieir enterprises and undertakings
successful do not hesitate to turn
right around and send off after vat>
rions articles of merchandise that
M
could be b >ught here at h>tse. We
inaiat that such treatment is not
“ toting fair.”
Now some may say that all this is
idle talk and that it is not praotised
to a* y extent in Athena. Then they
are simply rang the uninform ad.
There are numbers of people in Ath
ens who do this thing and their
names are known to the merchants.
The merchants of Athens are
among the most progressive citizens
of the community- In tact, they
bear npon their shoulders the greater
proportion of the bnrdends of all
public enterprises that look to the
advancement and upbuilding of the
city. They have responded in the
past to all solicitations made in
behalf of any worthy undertaking,
but they have a right to expect that
the people will likewise act in their
interests and Leip their business
along.
The merchants of Athens sell their
goods as cheap as any merchant in
Atlanta can dare sell them and
make any profit whatever on them,
and there is no reason whatever in
anyone sending iff for artioles that
could be bought here.
