Change your ways or die on the vine!

To the editor:
I do not understand the banner at the courthouse. Is it a plea or is it a threat?
People driving through town must think, “what losers the merchants must be to put up such a banner.”
We live in a capitalistic society. To succeed you must offer a good product or service at a fair price with good service.
When citizens get gouged by larcenous gas prices sooner or later they will go elsewhere and while there will go shopping.
There are some successful merchants in town. They sell good products and services and show the customer a pleasant experience.
Capitalism works when there is competition. When every gas station has the same price there is no competition.
Change your ways or die on the vine!
The writing is on the wall!
