Why Kill Own
Town by Buying
From the City

We Inve heard a lot of discussion

“fof lute as to the exact funetion of ‘the

merchant in a village such as Terrace
Much of this tnlk has shown that lit-
tle ls known of the facts, and only too
often a grave injustice is done in siz-
ing up the situation.

Many people who inve a bad eaia-
logue complex rarely stop to consider
prices as set. by local merchants with
those offered in the gaily decorated
pages of a muil order volume. Were
such comparisons made it would usu-
nly be faund that after a buyer has
tmid freight or express, cost of money
order, postage, ete, the cast of aut of

town buying is more than that of
spending the money at home, Sueb

wis the result of a cheekup of a Christ
mas Tree committee of a local organi-
wition in T9332, when; after making all
their, purchases in town, they worked
it out to the last cent and found they
had intde money by buying at home

Yet, in spite of many people persis-
tently sending out for their goods, (he
sime folk expect the local merelinnts
to carry a large stock in case they mm
short of something needed in a hurry.
And it is a common thing for these
people to have the goods charged, and
save their cash for the mail order
house,....

Actually the inerchant fills a much
sreater funetion than that of selling
goods. Ile is the biggest contributor
of the tux moneys used for sehool up-
keep and operation. . .In the first
place his business place must be in a
section where the land values are the
highest: then at the end of each year
he has to supply the assessor with the
value of shis stock and he’s assesed on
thut. For 1933 ‘Terrace merchants
Wid a tax of £1.12 on every hundred
dolliys warth of stock they had on
thelr shelves, and it is a conservative
exthunte ta say that from this person-
al property tax on merchants stocks
at least $700 of the totul requisition
of 34700 tor Kitsumgallum school was
raisol—and this in addition to henvy
rel oxtiute taxes, |

Aside from taxes the merchant is
always at the beck. and call of the
various churches and organizations to

make contribations or Imy titkets and

the merchants ‘ustully come across,

‘but it is reported that one of those

eanyasos for funds was checked last
week when the merchants found that
a big onder had been sent to mail or-
der houses for Christmas roads. The
local merchants Lave taken the stand
that they would not be acting in their
hest interests to provide funds for the
toughest competitors to carry on their
war against the small towp store,

after they got by Matt turned back ta
the tree trunk. Kohne was anxious to
know where Matt was going, but the
latter said he was just going to pay a
Friendly call. When he reached the
hollow tree he called out—“Hello, are

came a big brown bear. Kohne was
Non-plused, and found it difficult to
realize that men actually made pals
