The first ques tion is much more easily answere< than the second. It is true, howevei that for some people there is a fas cination for taking risks, particularl; i if the risk has a gilt edge. A Lauren ma!ni ans wezied an advertisement in reputable l'aper, enclosing a few (101 lars of hard earied money for a watel which was sutiposedly being sold at a'reatly reu(ieed price. A few day after it came it refused to keep t imc The local jeweler made it clear tha he could have su pplied a better watel for less money. and that if it had no 'pt good tile he would have repaire, it without cest. Why buy ill Laurens Hecau :e the element of risk is elimi natc-d and whlen meirchandise is not a ire presen ted the dealer gladly make matters iialit. We should buy in Laurens for tw, reao-ons, for ;'ersonal and civie rea sons. From a selfish standpoint w should bily her'. In our stores it i an easy matter to find what we want miercants are very obliging and the try in wvery way to Mlease. In pur 'hasing here the buyer feels that ther s a personal element in the transac tion which doe. no., prevail when on 'laces a mail order or buys where h is an entire stranger. Local buyin! inotlrages h-a leis to eater to person al xaints. Fromi any nagle the 'itles tion is viewed i: is clear that it pay '.'-ii selfishly to buy in l.al urns. 'h i w shouhl bly in Laurens fo civil- rca.ols. .\ny town woii SOO] eease to live if all the I1o;ule 'did thei buying ul sewhet. I'nder such condi tions it would b diflirlilt to suppor churche s, banks, ebaritable institu tions, raise taxes for maintenance o scloolc and (ivi( purposes. It's bet tor to boost than to knock. We ma; boost our city by atronizing its busi ness men, or we may knock our cit; by patronizing 'husiness men of othe cities. We ought to be loyal to on own enterprises because the pros perLty of the city of Laaurens ver; largely determiines the prosperity 0 its people individually. *4* * * 4, * * * *1 * S * * * MT.
