expression of opinion in many countries there would not be an opportunity to say yes no r maybe on any topical question make use of your ballot next monday a good place to shop seerris hard to believe that christmas is so near again but calendars dont lie and neither do the store windows and from the looks of the wiridows along main street georgetown merchants have outdone them- selves this year in providing just about every gift item one can think of there is always some temptation to shop but of town at christmas time far fields look green and there the anticipation of wider choice bargains and die excitement of joining the hordes of shoppers in the downtown city stores 7 people are finding out nowadays however just as one lady told us yesterday that shopping at home is much more satisfactory wider choice is just an illu- ion for it is surprising just what variety there is here in town after all most products which are worth their salt are nationally advertised and no city store ihas an option on them and being so close to the whole saler if a georgetown store hasnt the exact item any merchant can get it for you in evday or two bargains a few perhaps land theyd have to qe for it costs money to spend a nay in the city here again any wellknown brand sells at a fixed price and things that look like bargains have a habit of turning out to be a cheaper product masquerading in a fancy package it takes about fifteen minutes for the thrill of being one in a big crowd to wear off and the city shopping trip usually ends up in a headache literally and figur atively j your friendly georgetown merchants deserve your patronage and you dont go wrong in any local tore local trade had to be built on quality and price and georgetown stores dont depend on transient trade they have to deliver the goods or they dont stay in bnsinrss follow the advertisements in the herald for die next three weeks you will get some tips on what to hoy potpourri walt hyde
