O nce ag ain I fin d it necessary
to g et on m y high horse, and it'-
ju s t possible I m ight try to g e t on
I th e horse on th e w ro n g side and
get kicked o ff. N ev erth less, some
o b serv atio n s should be clarified
to the b e n e fit o f m ost concerned.
I have h eard a lot a b o u t coop»'

we have h ere in the V alley. T h's
is as it should be. O nly, we d o n ’t
all p u t th e shoes on th e rig h t foot.
It m akes a w hale-of-a-lot of d if­
fe ren ce w hose shoe goes on whose
foot.
L e t’s call a spade a spade and
stop p u ssy -fo o tin g a ro u n d . A lot

valley to shop a t hom e. T his is all
rig h t too— B a t how m any m er
ch an ts do all th e ir shopping a:
hom e? R ate y o u rse lf, boys ami
g irls, ra te y o u rself. How m an y of
you do all th e b u y in g you possibly
can from y o u r valley m erchants'?
We know a lo t of you w ho <b

when th e sam e could have been
p u rch ased from a t least tw o Valley
m erch an ts.
would like to rem ind those who
kick at G ra n ts P ass ad v e rtise rs,
th at we like to eat and pay o u r
bills the sam e as you do, an d so
fa r the only way we have been able
to do it, is to accep t ads front the
county se a t m erch an ts. Som e of
them a re n o t co m p etitiv e — O f
course, th a t’s all rig h t — b u t
w here a re you going to draw the
line? W e've ‘g o t’ both shoes on
W e're try in g to look the s itu a tio ’
in the face front y o u r point of
view, but we also ex p ect you io
do the sam e— Look a t o u r point
of view.
W e’re going to ad v o cate front
now on— Buy ev e ry th in g you can
from y o u r home tow n m erch an ts.
If th ey h av en ’t got the a rtic le you
w ant, they will get it fo r you. Now
we will g e t th is throw n a t us —
W hen th e hom e tow n m e rc h a n t
charges excessive prices fo r the
-.ante a rtic le we can buy cheap er
in G ra n ts P ass, w h at do you e x ­
pect us to do? We d o n ’t m ake a
special trip to G ra n ts P ass p u r­
posely to tra d e , b u t w hen we have
to go th e re on business, we buy
m erchandise we can buy ch eap er
th ere th an we can in th e valley.

To th a t we w ant to say — N o.
all th e m e rc h a n ts in th e V alley
charge m ore th an G ra n ts P ass
stores. We know places th a t you
really can buy ch e a p e r in the
V alley th a n you can in G ran ts
Pass, and we know G ra n ts P ass
people who have looked aro u n d
h ere th a t will tell you th e sam e
thing.
L e t’s all put the shoes on. L et's
w ear them out. Q uit criticizin g
y o u r neighbor, and q u it th ro w in g
rocks. A nd if you c a n ’t c o o p erate, !
d o n 't yell a b o u t som eone else not I
coo p eratin g .
The philosophy of a d v ertisin g
“ T rad e a t H om e,” is th e b est way
to coax th e V alley resid en ts to
do th at very th in g. B ut we who yell
th e ‘m o ste st,” a re the ones who
buy in the ‘co u n ty s e a te s t.”
L e t’s all ta k e a good look at o u r­
selves and do a little home th in k ­

should tak e th e sam e m edicine as
we ex p ect o th e rs to do.
Now, w e’re g oing to p u t both
