B.C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9th. 1937 N o. 36 SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MERCHANT"̂ Just at this time, when everybody is busy with th6ir ('lii'i.sUnas shopping, we woultl ask our residents, and particu­ lar) v tlio«o who have lately come here to live and, are, there- foiv, not so well posted on local business conditions, to call in iiiid examine the' goods in our loqal stores before going to ' Viuic'ouver. • W'e knovv the tendency in every suburb to shop in the Ijiv city, all the lure of the large stores and the blazing Christ­ mas sign.s and th a t Christmas feeling in the air, which seems to Ik* much stronger when one is aniong the rnilling crowds on tiic sidewalks there than in the quieter residential suburbs. if, however, we have the real spirit of the season, we. shall consider our own .first and buy. locally whenever we canr Willi t h e .exception of a few articles we shall find the West V ancouver stores can supply all bur needs a t the same prices or c h e a p e r than those ruling in the city. The local merchants buy from the same wholesalers as their city, brethren;™and-- they have this year a large assortment of Christmas goods aw aiting your custom. ■ ' - Throughout the .year <a^d niuch more so a t this season, ' calls are made for donations In cash Or kind.on behalf of some organizations, who are sponsoring certain .worthy objects-® which will benefit the community or some persons resident there. And it is the local merchant who does most of th e giving, because he is always the first to be approaohed gind is in a position where he can hardly refuse such requests. .But in the course of the year it is a serious drain on his pocket- book, as any one of them will tell you;, West Vancouver is Well known fbr its community spirit, but it can be and ought to be m uch stronger than i t is, if the- niunicipality is to make the progress 'we all hope and expect. With that object in view the West Vancouver Busines^M en's Association are sponsoring a series, of conoefts b y 'th e West ' Vancouver Sohool Band, the first to take place tomorrow night, . with the two-fold object of collecting enough funds to 'send the band to'lhe Torontp Exhibition for the contests there and of making our residents more West Vancouver conscious. All the money collected comes from the local, merchants and will be .used for the purpose speoified* less a few necessary expensed Admission to the public is free,, which means th a t those who go to these concerts will be their guests. .They have chosen as the ir .-slogan, the caption a t the head of this article; "Support ybur local m erchant." . , . . . * .....
