0 For You?
If you buy a new suit of clothes or some hard-
ware or groceries, from an out of town dealer or
the mail order man, do you think that those mer=
chants will help pave the streets of Naples or con-
tribute money in which to make this a better place
to live?
You Know They
Will Not
'Vid you know that the money that you give them
can never be used for the benefit of yourself and
home. But do you know that the money spent in
& Naples remains F ere and is used for your own
good ?
The rierchants of Naples are here as vital parts
and factors in the development of the city.
