Hurting the Home DruKgihts
A 'feminine feature writer of a
South Carolina newspaper devotes a
coluin.m and nt half advising women to
buy their cosmetics from concerns,
outride the state and thus avoid the
-tate tax on this kind of merchandise.
A story from Jltemdersonvillc indi
cates that some South Carolina vvo
.men are following her suggestion,
tills is adding insult to Injury. The
drug stoves and department store
fif the state are being penalised se
verely enough by the imposition oi
this absurd tax without the women
coming to the aid of the general as*j
-envtyiy in helping to destroy their
business. The tax is desired least
of all by the stores .?diing cosmetic
They fought against ;its pasage,
Now) if the women want to protest
the tax hy buying cosmetics in other
states, they will make it far harder
for the concerns to evist and conse
quently wreak further .injury to tin
p<f?ypcrity of the state.
Kvery dollar that is withdrawn
from the state and handed to dealers
in other states means one dijilar less
that is likely to come back t<> tin1
wonU'ii who pursue this shoHrsightid.
policy.
When they patronize outside c<?n
. . rns they are making it more dif
t.cult fur their husbands and fathers

Sill added.
"It won't bo long, besides 'tis UO
