NEARLY 70% OF OUR TAXES Port Perry Business-men pay nearly 70% of our annual taxes. This contribution to the life of our town can only be made by a prosperous group of businesses. If, for example, our merchants were reduced by half: The share of taxes now paid by them. would have to be "absorbed by we the people in the residential areas. The pressure of modern ONE-STOP shopping Centre attraction is threatening more every month to draw business away irom towns that do not have ALL legal shopping facilities available under the law. There are six empty stores in Port Pemry now. Four have announced their closing in the past few months. All bowing to the pressure from a town that has ALL facilities for one-stop shopping. Vie LIKEWISE these same Business-men contribute nearly 70% of charitable donations collected in Port Perry during a year. These donations are cheerfully made. In fact no charitable call ever goes out that is not generously answered by our community of Business-men. NOW YOUR HELP WANTED Over 90% of our business men are now asking for YOUR HELP in permitting establishment of goverrnment operated legally controlled stores in Port Perry. Stores hat, hey added to our present group of busi- nesses will make Port Perry a modern COMPLETE FACILITY, ONE-STOP shopping Centre, A shopping cen- tre for the entire surrounding community, plus thousands of annual summer residents.
