Why do the citizens of the Lower Hutt catch the bus or train and travel to Wellington.to buy their requirementsf Is it because there is a larger display of goods to choose from?

If so there would be juat as large or even a larger, display in their own town, if they would only • patronise it, instead of another town. The goods in the shops in Lower Hutt are the same as what are in the shops in Wellington,

Because Wellington is a city and the Lower Hutt only a little township it does not mean that the goods are better in the Wellington shops, The goods in the shops in the Lower Hutt come from the same warehouses as the goods in the shops in Wellington, therefore they are just as good in quality and value. .

When, we come to consider it, things are very much, dearer when you have to pay for the return fare from the Hutt to Wellington.

Do the citizens of Wellington come to the Lower Hutt especially to buy their goods? No! they make use of their own town for that.

Is there any reason why the people of Lower Hutt should not follow their ex-

ample,

Do not take the trade from your own town to another one miles and miles

away.

It would be a very wise plan, if the people living in and around the Lower Hutt did all their shopping there instead of going to "Wellington or any other town, so citizens open your eyes to the true facts, before it is too late, and do ' all your shopping and spend your money in the up-to-date little town of Lower Hutt.

If you take this advice you will be helping to support your own little township.
