The re- strictions in the sale of gasoline and tires will automatically mean that people will not do so much travelling and they will be forced to stay at home. This may be the dawn of a new era for the small- town merchant and he should be preparing for it now. Those who have been accustomed to trading in city stores will probably not be able to obtain the same variety and merchants should see that they have the best merchandise possible to offer in every line. No one cares to do business in a store which is not clean and bright and displays obsolete merchandise. This new sit- uation is a challenge to the small town merchant who, for years dur- ing more prosperous times, has been complaining about the loss of bus- iness to city shops. If exhorbitant prices are charged, the customer will save sufficient gasoline to make an occasional trip to those city shops which he may have been patroniz- ing for years. We have constantly supported the local merchant, but sometimes we are inclined to think it is due to his own carelessness that his business has slipped away from him. This is his opportunity to recoup much of the trade which has been diverted through other channels. He should plan now to take care of this potential business. Away back in the days when mo- tor cnrs were freaks and a train trip was a memorable event, when highways were non-existent and roads were chiefly composed of pitch holes and ruts, the small town had a life unto itself. Villagers* traded at their own stores, patron- ized amateur concerts and took a healthy interest in the natural (pleasures of the place and its sur- roundings. Then came the automobile, fol- . lowing in rapid succession ~y new highways, buses and improved rail service. City chain storos, particu- larly those in the grocery line, took a grip on the small town trade and distances to the city were shortened and smoothed. The village found itself slipping into the background, its people making more and more trips to the city. Within a year there may be very few cars on the road. Tires will be rationed only to those in the pre- ferred classes. People will be forc- ed to restrict travel to the emerg- ency level. Stores and amusement spots will have to be patronized at i home. There won't be any excuse for vis'tng the city. The result should be n better era for the small town, but if merchants are wise they will e that their stocks are adequate to take care of the needs o f the townsfolk and far- mers in the vicinity. The small- town merchant will welcome this business, but }\e must be prepared to give greatly improved service. Incidentally, merchants in the cities are not going t surrender this trade without a fight. The city papers will still bring their adver- tising message into this community and they are going to use every method they can to hold that trade. Preaching the doctrine of "Trade At Homo" isn't, enough. You've got to show them why trading! at home moans money in their pockets. This car and tire crisis offers you n new opportunity. Tweed "ewa.
