Tho TIMES had several pages ol ad vertiaements from Philadelphia merchants who aie awake .o the opportunity presented by tl* antipathy ol the loepi merchants and attracted much local trade. We have been criticised for running this advertising, it being said that we encouraged out-of-town buying thereby. We assure our critics that we must depend upon just auch advertising or dose up shop and quit, for the amount spent by the bulk

of Sea Isle’s merchants in the

of a year for advertising n their local newspaper would not buy the Ink with

which the paper is printed

We are mi making this statement in tb« nature ol a complaint. Neither are we doing it to cajole our merchants Into advertising. We fortunately do not depc-nd upon their patronage. and If they are not luive eu-1 _ ough to sec the need of the use- of! printers’ Ink. we do not want their

business.

* But it’s a pity. i*n’t ft. that there is j so little progresslveness shown on the j part of the people who SHOULD form the real hick-bone of the town’s prosperity and development. Figuring very conservatively, there was between 125.000 and *30.000 spent thi* year locally and In the surrounding Tillages, over the Yoletide season, and the lion's share, as in every othe- j year, went to further enrich the mail [ QitjcT bouses and the retail establish- j meats of other ciUe*.
