A lesson learned about local shopping

Barry Weisfeld of The Record Exchange of Princeton
I was amazed to read this article: “A window on holiday shopping” by Pam Hersh (LOOSE ENDS, Packet, Dec. 22).
   This article about an iPhone online scanner is educational to many of your readers and Hometown Princeton, local shopping AND for Packet advertisers.
   Independent merchants that are Packet advertisers like jaZams and Whole Earth can support and save your newspaper and local jobs far more than the companies that come up on the iPhone app like Amazon, eBay, Best Buy online, Walmart, etc.
   GO: “App-smashing droid known as The Grinch Who Stole the iPhone Scanning App.”
   Happy Holidays.
