A hypothetical Fremantle mayor pledges to protect ratepayer funds by directing council to upgrade verandahs and awnings, reform transport fares, centralize services, and extend tramways. He prioritizes property values, road improvements within town limits, and beautifying South Beach and City Beach while keeping taxes and fares low. The piece ends with a wry note on personal costs of such public duties.
A proclamation argues birth control elevates races and helps the poor by enabling families to be supported. It asserts that quality over quantity of children matters, condemns indiscriminate procreation, and predicts a brighter future once the public understands birth control.
The note lists pricing for subscriptions with 13 for quarterly, 26 for half yearly, and 5 for yearly. It presents a concise rate card without additional context or dates.
The chief aim of a shop window is to reflect the store’s order and value while attracting eyes. For a drapery store two windows should display feminine and masculine attire with exclusiveness over quantity, using a few garments in distinct, attractive settings to highlight design and selling power.
A Fremantle editorial urges local shopkeepers to form a traders association to improve lighting, ticket design, and overall storefront appeal. It cautions that currency limits and competition require brighter, more attractive pricing strategies and collective action to lift trade and profits.
The Fremantle Mercury calls residents to back district shopkeepers who supply needs in good faith. It urges loyalty to local business and emphasizes that higher local trade turnover enables lower prices, warning against buying outside Fremantle and promising exposure of offenders this year.
