I am writing in reference to the article on local beer sales in Martin.

Let me start off by saying that I am not advocating for or against local beer sales, but I couldn’t help but be upset in the lack of support for the locally owned proprietor, Hollis Suiter.
Instead of showing support for businesses who are not locally owned and/or operated, we as a community should support our own.

Suiter’s Service has much more to offer than the “best beer prices” in town; they offer the coldest soft drinks, very competitive fuel prices and a warm atmosphere for making your purchases.

And, as a bit of FYI, they have the cleanest restroom in town! Shop where you will for beer or otherwise, but don’t say you haven't been warned when it comes to supporting your town locals!

P.S. Hang in there, Hollis! You’ll come out on top in the end!
