Why Buy Local: Virtue #6
With two weeks left before Christmas (!), it's time to remind the community of the many virtues of buying locally. Each week, we'll highlight a different incentive. Please keep all of these in mind as you make your buying decisions.
Virtue #6: Feel it . . . see it . . . smell it . . . There's no substitute for the five senses when choosing items for purchase. How many times did you mail order an item only to find: It doesn’t fit . . . it isn't flattering . . . the dimensions aren't what they seemed . . . the colors don't match the décor/wardrobe . . . the shoes are uncomfortable . . . the material is flimsy . . . . When you shop right here in Bronxville, you get to handle the item in question and know exactly what you're getting, reducing the need for returns. But if you do need to return something, there's no need for bubble wrap and waiting in line at the post office--just pop into town and go straight to the source.
Special thanks go to the McGrath family for their annual purchase of the Christmas tree that we light up on Kraft Avenue! We thank them for infusing some extra spirit into our holiday season!
