(Tbs trtiolP published herewith,
"Why It Paya to Trade With Local
Merchanta," was written hjr . JfU*
Dorothy Vernon Batter, a teacher in
one of the public school* of Sherman,
and was entered in a National contest
conducted by he Butterick Publishing
Company, publishers of he nationally*
kfaown magazine, "The Delineator."
Among thousands of similar articles
entered In the contest, many of which
were written by sales managsrs and
experienced ' trade paper writers, Miss
Baxter's article was adjudged one qf
the best, and ahe had recently been
notified that her aricle was one of
the prise winners. v "The Delineator"
is one of the ^ natlonally-cl related
and known' maftaaftiea which will uot
accept advertisefents from mall order
houses, as It believes in the principle
'-'Rgtronlge your home merchant."
The contest was in line with this poll*
<*.)
Alias Baxter's Article.
You make your town. - Like true
Americans you "want what you want"
and whatever the demand then, the
supply. Increase the volume of trade
for .vonr local merchant and note the
result. Better goods, njore goods,
for less money.
You expqw yourself by what yon
buy, by your preference and selective
ability. Let your dealer know you.
No concern, no matter what its limi-
tations can afford not to cultivate new
customers. Their slogan is to' please.
Yours to be pleased.
The idea that yoa must leave home
or use tb^j mall-order house in order
to get "better bargains" is disloyalty
to your home town as good cltiaep*.
You owe a certain ataonnt of loyalty
to your community for its wrifare and
progress. Boost your home merchants
and note the pride they take in serving
you. There is no better way of being
served than to serve.
We are twentieth century products.
We want not only what we want 1 Ut
when wc want it. The delay In ship-
ments caused by eongestiln, strikes,
wrecks and etc., is certainly not to lie
compared with siK-h home service as
"Phone your order to 23—and count
" the minutes while you wait." )
Study Bit op Windows.
Study your own shop windows and
"ads" in the newspapers as dlllgently
as you do the mail order "$1 down $1
monthly," and see If you aren't really
paying more than at home. If you
are not, then it is your fault because
you withhold yonr help. Take the
Ford car for example. Why can they
afford to sell them so cheaply? Bo-
cause of the numlior of ears sold. In
crease the volume of trade of your lo-
cal merchants and yon decrease the
cost to you. The reason the mall-
order houses have sueeceded is be-
lions were caught In the maelstrom
i >i i*i
of attractive a
to offer. They
aid tried to please them as
dealers do you. i ^
There sre no non-sdvertislaf houses
of today, it is your fault If you are
csuae people supported them. Mil
not able to buy what you prefer at
home because the local dealer la more
than willing to get it for you. He ap-
preciate* the value of a specialised
system. He knows how volume ot
sales works out tor him. It ehables
him to give better value for , less
money, making s dose margin to nay
a fair profit. That is why it pays to
trad* st home.
You sre helping to keep s good psrt
of yonr money in circulstion st homo
when you spend your dollar with the
locsl merchant. ' This dollar brings
about twenty per oant to him, half of
which la his margin of profit, the oth
er halt goes toward the up-keep of his
store, clerk hire, delivery service, ^etc.
The more dollars spent with him, the
more money he will have to equip hfs
store for better aervlct and quality for
you.
But if you send your dollar swsy
to the Mail OrdAr House, you , are-
helping to support a business outside
of job dty. A huslaitt thait does
not psy taxes in you# city or do one
single thing towsrd msklng it a bet-
ter city In which to live. The dollar
is gone sad you, alone, receive" the
benefit of It as far a* your town Is
concerned. Whenear the local Dry
Goods Merchant with whom you spend
your dollar, will In turn spend it with
the Grocer, who will in turn spend It
with the Butcher, who will In turn
probably «p*nd It with the Drug Man
and so on until just that one dollar
has been used six or seveft times.
This would bring only a small total of
about sixty or seventy cents, but think
what a per cent It would mean on
hundreds of dollars which ought to be
spent at home!
What Is a fair Indication in the fi-
nancial world that business is on the
up-grade? When the volume of checks
passing through the banks la increas-
ing day by day, Instead of decreasing.
Bo it is with your local merchants.
More trade means good business
Good business moan a the circulation of
money. The circulation of mohey
means more brick building, paved
streets, good roads and better
schools. Then more satisfied and hap-
py we become because we feel we sre
an active, helpful factor In the growth,
upbuilding and success of our Home
Town. We are like the plants and anl-
mala of the earth, each dependent up-
on the other for existence; and that is
why it pays to trade at home, If we
have a home, that is a comfortable,
modern, convenient home. For after
all, the Town Is You.

LEGRANDE WOODS GOES
TO McALLEN TO LOCATE
AND PRACTICE PROFESSION
Negro Wanted For Murder.
LeGrande Woods left today for Mc-
Allen, Texas, one of the fast growing
towns in the Itio Orande Valley, to
practice hh profession, the law. Mr.
Woods has lived In this community all
of Ills life, with the exception of the
time he «pent in school and In military
service. He graduated at Virginia
Military Institute In iflll and received
his It. L. degree at the State Univer-
sity in 1015. He was admitted to the
Crayson County bar and became asso-
ciiited with Judge J. A. L. Wolfe In
1910. When our flag was unfurled to
the breeres inid war declared in the
pprlng of 1017, Mr. Woods entered the
firit officers' training camp at Leon
Springs, wlfero he rejnslned three
months until transferred to llattery E,
1Mrd F. A., with rank of Second Lieu-
tenant. He wa« later transferred to
miother lottery, same regiment, and
promoted to First Lieutenant, and in
July following went to France in ad-
vance of the feglment where he serv-
ed with the 1311th F. A. and Second
French Army Corps until the armis-
tice was signed. Returning home he
resumed his prnetlce with the firm,
then to Ik- known as Wolfe, Freeman,
Buster and Woqds. For about a year
Mr. Woods has not been associated
with any one. He believes that the
rapidly growing country on the bor-
der, now that the Mexican situation is
brighter, offers a great field for a
young man. and Mr. Woods will go
there well equipped for a career that
looks very bright. He Is the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. LeGrande Woods, the
father having passed on n year ago,
and I* a grandson of the late Judge J.
1>. Woods, who served Ids county and
*itate in official posltiona and also
served in the Confederacy during the
civil war. Judge Woods passed away
quite a number of years sgo, having
lived an Grayson County nearly sll of
his life. *
The many friends of LeGrande
Woods in Sherman and throughout
Grayson County, wish for him much
success in his new home.
After trailing the negro from Tom
Bean, where he fitat stopped, to a
house on West Washington avenue In
Sherman, Deputy Sheriffs Lee Cant-*
well of Sherman and George Brinkley
of Howe Monday afternoon closed in
on Leo Cravens, wanted* in Dallas on
a murder charge, and 4o°k the negro
into custody.

other negro in a cutting scrape in
Dallas, and when arrested still had In

ter making the arrest, the local county

force, who left at once for Dallas
