merchant suffers. One thing a person must realize. During the 12 months of the year, it is these same h« al merchants who help "foot the bill' in their communities. They arc the ones that get hit 1 r the donations. Maybe it is school function, the yearbook, magazine soles, or other community functions. It could be theh* money that helped to buy the summer and winter decorntions, the park programs for recreation, and the summer and winter decorations, and the events of the season that eve-y* one enjoys. Yes. a small town is usually no more than a convenience to many people. The fact that often they have as much or more than certain stores or shopping areas aw iy from h<>me offer Is overlooked. Wha’ they ask is a chan< e to prove this to you. To help make a Merry Christmas in your home town, please give your hometown merchants a choose to make your holiday season a happy one.
