AN EFFECTIVE ARGUMENT.
A printer’s traveller entered one of the local business establishments this week, and after offering to undercut the Argus price for a certain job was surprised that he did not get it. He was met with this effective style of argument : “The local newspaper office distributes a considerable sum of money r annually in this town, almost every penny of which is spent locally. The proprietor is a fair patroniser of my shop and when he does not patronise me he patronises other local shops, so the money remains in F.ltham. You offer to do the work 3s Od cheaper than the Argus. Well, the local newspaper is always ready to give me a little local when I have anything special worth drawing attention to. Those locals are worth pounds sterling to me in a year, and wouldn’t I be*a fool to risk losing them for the sake of saving 5s (id ? lam going to stick to our local office !’ ’ This conversation was overheard in a local business establishment, and we thank the proprietor for his loyalty to the town —we could not have put the argument in belter form ourselves, Eltham Argus.
