Home My WebLink AboutThe Clinton News Record, 1919-12-25, Page 9PPS A POOR RUJ.,13 WON"t' WORK Bout WAYS Thies have changed and the change was strikingly emphasised Saturdax. last When a Guelph store avlr'ing. men's clothing had a :queries' page advertisement In„a Toronto paper pointing out the feet that values in Guo/ph were much better than, in Toronto, owing to the fact that the expense of operating their stores was much less in Guelph than in the lar- ger place, Toronto retailers have un- suceessfelly tried for many year's to place advertising in out -of -Toronto papers,. but this is one of the first instances of the smaller tewn mer- chants edvertising in the Toronto papers. And there aro a great many reasons why the statements made by the Guelph merchant are absolutely correct. Take Walkerton, for in- stance, The oyerhead expense here is not one tittle of what the Yonge street merchants have to meet, The purchasing public of Walkerton, or Guelph, undoubtedly get . a great advantage from the lower sales cost. The larger turnover of the city mer- chant does not begin to overcome the rural dealer's advantage at the pres- OneIola News -Record ent time. Many travollors iron the Toronto iirnis now purehaeo their elvtbing in the smaller towns and they would not do this unless they knew they ware gutting better value. here than hi the city, With good roada and autoruobilea, the city finer- chants have almost as much to fear from the eompotition of QUtMide rner, chants in the larger towns and cities es, the merchants of the towns have to worry over. the Unreasonable cone - petition of the mail order bonses. The times are surely changing --Walkerton Telescope, A GENEROUS COUNCIL AND A GENEROUS MAYOP, The town council of Qrillia at its final meeting' voted the mayor. an honorarium of $500 in recognition of his services during the year. Af- ter cordially thanking the council the. mayor asked that he be allowed to devote the money to .the erection in the town hall of ,a memorial tablet to the men from that town who had fallen in the war ancl consent Was given.

The request was refus- ed. In natters of this kind the East Simcoe town is not an exception. All over Ontario, in the towns especially, the schools are looked upon as holies of holies which must not be entered by the unclean, to wit, the ratepay- ers, who own them and supply the money necessary to keep them going. It is a wrong policy, Instead, as The Bulletin has urged again and again, they might, in fact, they should, be made community centres, places where the fathers and mothers and -elder brothers and sisters would be privil- eged to meet from time to time, Were this done, our belief is thbt the parents and others would be- come more interested in edu- cation, with corresponding benefits to the boys and 'girls. —Collingwood Bulletin.
