YOUR DUTY TO HOME MERCHANTS
They Have Holiday Goods of Every Description.
Build Up Home.
The Christmas holidays will soon be upon us. Our merchants have put in splendid stocks of goods in all lines, which are generally sought during the holiday season. It is nothing more than right and just that our people should give them their trade and thereby help sustain them in business. The trade this fall has not been all that was expected. Farmers have done but little trading in comparison with what they have done formerly, and every well wisher of our town and county should see to it that their trade this season should be given to home merchants. Don't go to Atlanta, but patronize home people, who help pay the taxes and make contributions to all your enterprises, and who afford you accommodations when you need it The way to build up Marietta is to contribute your good words when you can, and your money, when you have trading to do, to home merchants and business men. You will find in Marietta stores articles of every description and sold as reasonable as any Atlanta house. So place your patronage at home, and thereby keep your money at home, so it may come back to you again. If you send it off to other towns, it is gone forever, and you hurt those who are disposed to help you if you will enable them to do so by your trade. Trade at home.
