r Spotlight on Improving Business ... |i Large Trade Centers May Be Asset To Nearby Small City. * > * - By ARCH BAUMGARTNER Publisher of THE MAIL-JOURNAL t. . —

Recent studies of economists indicate that a large metropolitan trade center may be an asset to the nearby small city. In fact, the merchant in the small city may take more business away from metropolitan competitors than he loses.

Such as: a Nearly everyone in a small city will give local retailers a chance to satisfy his needs before he looks elsewhere; b (nher things being equal, it is more convenient and less expensive to buy at home than elsewhere.

(c The consumer is fully aware that he can hold the local retailer accountable for faulty goods and unsatisfactory sendee. He feels less confident about his influence in dealing with large and distant stores. <d> Perhaps most important, the community newspaper provides an' advertising medium which reaches more people at less cost than any medium available to metropolitan retail advertisers. In the typical situation. it costs a metropolitan retailer ten times as much to contact a potential consumer in an out-lying city than it does the local- merchant. The local retailer who does not make full use of his advantages in advertising and promotion sacrifices his own business and the vitality of his whole community.
