Unemployment and decreased 'incom..- es have played havoc with every bus- iness. To balance the books at the end of the year is going to be a diff- icult task, for this .class, the largest taxpayers in the town, Throughput the years ` the merch- ants have stood behind, the town arid its activities. vtties. Baseball and hockey have been sponsored and the business men in general have been generous in their support of everything worth- while in the town. There is every reason therefore, for the general public to show their ap- preciation of these efforts by buying locally. this Christmas. . We do not suggest this purely on patriotic grounds alone, but because we are confident that the local merchant of- fers ffers you value that cannot be improv- ed upon elsewhere. We care not wliat you want in the way of a gift, for we are sure that the local merchants can supply it The old bug -bear about prices has been exploded long ago, and a glance through the advertise- ments in this issue of The Advance- Times will reveal to the careful ob- server that ,prices in Wingham are equal orlower than prices in city storess. Merchants are not afraid to make comparisons, they welcome them. It doesn't matter whether the gift you want is. a radio, refrigerator or washing machine, or a lowly celluloid doll' for some youngster, you can get it here. Be the lucky recipient of the gift, man, woman or child, there %s something in .a Wingham store that will make their hearts glad. This year as never before people have left their Christmas buying un- til the last minute, but Wingham mer- chants are well prepared. If you have not already made up your, list, do so now and shop in Wingharn with con- fidence. Church and Life Movement As part of the program of the Church and Life Movement of the various Protestant denominations, meetings will be held in ,Knox Col- lege, Toronto, on Tuesday and Wed- nesday of next week, Dec. 26 and 27.
