Thîis situat- ion had to corne with the great expan- sion which has already taken place, an d wl 1 I surel y continue due to our enviable geographical location. This does not mean that there is no room f or the small1 in d ependent retail1or. Thousands of them are thriving t hr o ug9h out Toronto and Montreal, where the same changes we experi- encehere, are taking place annuallye A T OAST TO THE SMALL MERCHANT That personal contact between the own- ers and emp loyees and their loyal., regular patrons is the one irreplace- a bl1e factor wh i chdoes not exist in the large chain and department stores. T he small1 independent merchant wil11 nat long survive without it. R e t u r n ing again to "lthat genuine s p iri1t of local ism"; where it exists, it will immediately be recognized. Few places in this changing world may in this age, be truly cal led "lutop- hia". This young newspaper is making a courageous attempt to give back to this h i s torical County Town of Whitby, a wor thy succe ssor ta our "Whitby Chronicle"l, which served this town for 56 years beginning ten years before Confederation. It soon became the of- ficiaI voice of our town, reaching out to regular subscribers in Brooklin, Ashburn, Claremont, Myrtle, Man- chester, Port Perry, Uxbridge, Beav- erton, Atherley etc. REVIVAL 0FF'LOCALISIM' Since the demnise of the Chronicle in. 1912, se v e r a attempts have been made without success due entirely to thediminishing support of advertising revenue, principally lackingfrom local municipal and caunty government ann- u a space contracts.
