“NO FOOTBALL FOR MY BOY, TOO DANGEROUS
“Pa” and “Ma” Stribling, of Macon, Ga., are seen wishing luck to their
son, “Young” Stribling, high school student and professional boxer, just
before his bout at the First Regiment Armory, Newark, N. J., recently,
when the husky youngster won the popular and newspaper verdict by a wide
margin in his 12 round, no-decision bout with Dave Rosenberg, the rug
ged veteran Brooklyn middlewieght. He is 19 years old. “Pa” and “Baby”
“Young’s” 16-year-old brother, were seconds; and “Ma,” who trains her
son and boxes him all over the ring, sat quietly at the ringside. She feels
“no pity,” she says, because “they can’t injure each other seriously”—but
“no football for my boy, it’s too dangerous.” She fails to understand why
women should shudder at a boxing bout, and then go to a football game,
where “players kick each other with their shoes and get internal injuries.”

With Home Town Buying
You live here. You make use of the public benefits of this
city. Then help pay for them—and make it possible to increase
municipal improvements.
You can't do it by sending your dollars out of town. Every
cent you send away to mail order concerns represents so much dead
loss to the community—and no gain whatever to you on good purchased.
Your dealer sells standard goods of the highest quality—
and sells them at honest prices. Merchandise of greater merit can
not be had for any amount of money—and certainly not for less
money. You can inspect the goods before purchasing—a big advantage
over mail order buying. You can see what you are getting. You can
buy in small quantities if you wish, or you can purchase in large lots
and obtain price concessions granted bulk buyers. The goods you buy are
delivered within a few minutes after purchase is made—right into your home—
and free of delivery costs.
If you are not satisfied with purchases—or desire to
exchange goods for any reason whatever — you may do so quickly
and conveniently.
These are a few of the buying advantages to be had
right here at home that can not be offered by any mail order concern
in creation. You benefit yourself—then you benefit the dealer.
You enable him to continue in business. By giving him
bigger business you enable him to give you better bargains.
The profit he makes—a legitimate one—is spent right here
cfhome. Some of it is fumed over to other dealers. Some of it goes
for rent. Some of it for clerks’ salaries. Some of it for taxes. It assists in
building up the entire town. It helps advance property values. It contributes
to the betterment of schools—which your children or your neighbors children
attend. It helps put down better side-walks—and put up better public build
ings. It pays you actual dividends in development of the town your town.
It makes the town in which you live a better town for you to live in.
It invites outsiders to settle here. It booms prosperity—and you share in
that prosperity. .
It is your plain duty-to yourself — your family— your friends
—your town—to spend your dollar^ with local dealers. Vo it.
