Keep Money at Borne Aa Christmas shopping time is here we must onoe more admonish our home people to keep their money at home. Patronize home merchants, and patronize merchant* who use advertizing space in the Cape May HkhAMt, because they represent class, and carry the best line of goods. Do not weary yourself by rushing Philadelphia ot New York in search of only to be “stung” and added to this lose your car fare, Our merchant* have as complete stocks as anyone could desire, and we Mk that all those who may have toil to go to outside cities for barto pause, think It over and then spend their money right here at home. There is no reason why you should help some other city, or put your money into foreign channels when we tlsQ readily at home. You moat not forget that other periods in the year your home merchant* kindly cany your account* for you and allow credit. Then when ( hrislmas around yon have faint heart and would desert them for strangers. ae things must be weighed and thought over. Spend 1

buy home goods.
