WHY "BUY-AT-HOME"

Chamber of Commerce
Mfldfnrd residents niul citizens of Hie ininiediiili-ly sur
rounding territory nre being urged to ptilroniJ-.c their local
business houses. There must he behind this appeal some
logical reason why such aetion should he tiiUen, fur people
flu not p.-itroiiize any part inula r instituliiii merely because
of a sense nf community loyalty.
Tako the items of price nnd service two of the, most im
portant factors involved in making a purchase of goods. You
will find that prices in local stores, considered as a general
price level, are ns reasonable as they are in other communi
ties of like size and with a like number of mercantile estab
lishments. It may be true that on some items a higher price
is demanded than in some of the larger stores in Portland
and S'nn Francisco, but our general price level is no higher,
on staple commodities, than it is in those cities.
Service the most- important factor in which the local
merchairt is far better able to compete Hum any other agency.
Arc your purchases unsatisfactory ? The local merchant is will
ing and ready to make good the guarantees on his product.
Do your mechanical appliances function properly,' If they
were bought in Mcdford, they can be speedily serviced. Were
the goods yon bought of the (iialily you thought you pur
chased ? If they were purchased out of town, adjustments
are slow and uncertain.
Mcdford has the best stocked stores ami shops between Ku
gene and Sacramento. Does this menu anything to the com
munity.? It menus that .Medfortl has n large and rapidly grow
ing trade territory, which means the upbuilding of this city
as a commercial center. Vnil have the advantages of erpial
price, superior servieo anil excellent stock when you buy al
home. Is it worth while! Think it over!
