F. Loyalty To Home Merchants Editor Citizen: Two or three days ago the press informed us that the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad company Is laying off, at least temporarily 500 men from their shops in Salt Lake City. Such things bring us face to face with the problem of keeping our people profitably employed. em-ployed. There is an old saying that "Charity begins at home" and the writer feels that "planning for the should begin at home. In what way can we do this? Let me say a few Words about our business institutions ln American Fork. We have a considerable number num-ber of our home people employed in these business houses. These people are endeavoring to supply our merchandise needs in a satisfactory manner. The number of people employed em-ployed is governed by the amount of business they do. Are we patronizing patron-izing them to the extent that we should? Or, are we buying a large part of our goods elsewhere? The writer has been rather ashamed, particularly around the holiday season, sea-son, to find himself along with many others coming back to our home town loaded down with bundles eon- talnlng goods purchased elsewhere, a goodly portion of which might have been purchased at home and at equally low prices. We have a number of fine stores in our city stocked with excellent merchandise. Don't you think if we want to build up our community and give more of our home people employment that it would be well to give them the preference and buy as much as we can at home. We realize in this connection that the merchant has the obligation to keep on hand a good assortment of mer- Heber Harrington Dies On Coast Word has been received here of the death of Heber Adelman Harrington, at his home in San Fernando, California, Cali-fornia, Tuesday.

We live in a day of keen competition and people are more or less acquainted ac-quainted with prices. Let me give an illustration. The writer stepped into a drug store some time ago to purchasft a gallon nf rmrip carbolic acid for disinfecting purposes. The clerk stated that he could supply it for $1.50. When informed that it could be bought elsewhere for less than half that amount, the clerk indignantly replied "I know it can, but do you think we are going to do business for nothing?" There is a strong temptation to do our trading in the large centers where goods can be seen ln almost endless variety. There seems to be a fascination ln looking into the shop windows in the larger cities, and it sometimes happens that to get what we want we have to go to tlwe- place, -but-the writer -i con vinced that if we want to help along prosperity right here fn our midst that it would be a wise thing, as far as we can, to patronize our home lastltutlons.

If every citizen andevery business house would make an ef fort to mail at least one letter by air mall during the week. American Fork could easily surpass Provo's quota of lOOO letters, Mr. Shelley pointed out. A special stamp advertising American Amer-ican Fork as the poultry center of Utah, and extending an invitation to attend the annual poultry day here, will be placed on all air mail letters leaving here. Going to all parts of the United States, this stamp should be valuable ln publicizing pub-licizing the community.
