OF INTEREST TO US ALL
Perhaps you have read some of Radio Ray’s ideas in making
‘ a better community which have appeared weekly in this news
paper. We think Ray is on the right track in his appeal for the
local merchants to stock a greater variety of merchandise,
thereby eliminating some of the excuses' for shopping in other
centerp. A community approaching 5.000 population ought to be
*able to offer its customers anything from a spool of thread
^to a monkey wrench. In a trading center of this size, a customer
.^has a right to expect to have his or her needs filled, but should
not be unreasonable enough to expect the variety that larger
».centers have to offer.
The mistake in merchandising that has been made in the
«past is that store windows might be full of popular items, while
< the slow moving items could not be found. Nor according to
some prospective buyers have merchants always shown a
¡^willingness to get what they did not have. We know of at least
«a few instances where shoppers have taken time off from their
jobs to go elsewhere to try and find something they needed and
»•they did this after searching the business district over. When
lithis is done the entire community loses because the shopper
•■usually buys other things too.
The smaller shopping centers may Ait I m - able to offer the
“variety, but they usually can offer a parking place within a few
¿blocks and with the present traffic situation, this is worth a
•great deal to busy people. This to our minds and to the minds of
• many offers the small town merchant an unusual opportunity,
*whi$h ought to be considered.
So when the talk of trade at home is revived as it may be
^soon, the above suggestions are made with the hope that if
' carried out, we won’t have to do so much to get results.
BUT THINGS ARE NOT THAT WAY NOW
We noted from a pres« dispatch tl\e other day that the
’ American coal miner is drawing an average wage of around
*$75.00 weekly now as compared witn an average wage of $23.40
prior to World War 11. The same story could be told of a num-
. ber of other industries. There is hardly a business enterprise in
our own community, whose receipts are not twice what they
''were before the last war. And yet when it comes to voting addi-
’'tional funds for the support of oui4*a-hools, the city and other
’tax supported institutions, some can’t get away from the fact
that government expense was just Iialf the present cost eight
/ or nine years ago.
As long as we have public schools, paved streets, roads and
, other modern day necessities, we either have our choice of pay
ing for them or going back to the horse and buggy. The only
advantage we would think x>f is that in going back, the horse
'.fly wouldn’t worry us quite so much. We could at least thin
his numbers with DDT. That is if the control method was not
too expensive.
