leiis Mailer ofi Buying And Selling LQcally Barrie is relatively prosperous commun ity at the present time and deal of that prosperity is dependent on trading within the community Merchants in the town can only stay in business if the community trades with them professional men are dependent on their services being required locally The value of thlsconununity trade seems only too obvious yet from time to time there is evidence that distant fields appear greener to the buyer The fault lies both with the man who hassomething to sell be he merchant of professional standing and with the yer Inthe case of the merchant we love the majority of the community uld prefer to buy iocaiiybut some exam pl of lack of service and courtesy and in some instances comparative prices has drl en them to seek their purchases else wh hree examples of this may bring home to point to the merchant housewife we as new customer to local store to rep enish her freezer The order was small but the salesman promised it would be deliv ered at her address When the goods did not arrive she called the shop only to be told that small orders were not delivered but she could come and collect it Another housewife wanted small article fixed for her on storm window by nearby firm Over the telephone the firm promised that the matter would be dealt with forth with Three days later she went to get the article but the salesman did not know the type she would require He would com municate with the man who knew about such things and have him see to it at once daylater still she did collect the article paid for it and put it on herself And the last example is that of house wife who asked store near her address to send someone to give an opinion whether piece of furniture was worth renovating and rough estimate as to cost The store ad vised that the article should be brought in but it was explained that it was too big to carryaround and the housewifes address benefit to the community public bodies should give chry consideration to using the services they offer Where it is necessary to go out of town for theseserviccs then as matter of courtesy to the community some reason for the choice shmlld be given Such action would go far to dispel any ill will which might be felt wm Grocers Sell Beer Thercs arresh battle brewing in Ontario to make legal the sale of beerln grocery stores reports
