decidedly more notice able this year as our cousins from south of the line visit canada funny but they come hoping to buy at lower prices than at home in many cases while canadians by the thousands trip south and hope to buy in the us lower than at home it is just one of those things there is an inherent liking for buying away from home by some people and it seems the farther from home the more one prizes what they buy if one took in the cost of transportation no doubt everybody could save money by patronizing home trade but that isnt all of it one just has to have an excuse for going away
