Too often we hear the phrase, "I owe nothing to the merchant." This fact is even prevalent among the business family of our communities. But, can one merchant justify purchase outside the area, while expecting support by local consumers? Again, let's take an example. Can furniture, appliances, carpeting and other household items be purchased cheaper elsewhere? Evidently so, since delivery trucks from the metropolitan area are in the county almost daily. Does this apparent difference in price justify the expenditure of funds in some other community (even though most legitimate dealers even in the metropolitan areas carry price tags similar to local merchants)? Or what about automobiles? Can they be purchased cheaper somewhere else? Or take lumber and building materials, printing, auto supplies, tires, groceries, or the many other items that are on the market locally. Are they cheaper elsewhere? Sure they are somewhere? Theres nothing that cant be purchased cheaper somewhere. Our communities, our counand our area depend on the ty economic lifeblood that can be provided by the consumers. Without this continuous feeding, a business will first stop growing, and then begin to wither and die. Each time you spend one dollar of your income, you are voting in favor of one business as opposed to his competitor. A business future is continually on the ballot. Only consumers can vote to maintain a business or re- ; (Editorss Note: If anyone has Information that might he helpful to this Individual, would you please forward same to him.)

Not only are our dollars votes cast in favor of one business or another, they are also cast in favor of, or against our own communities. Every dollar spent within our area is a vote of confidence for our economic future. A dollar taken elsewhere is a vote in favor of some other community, and a vote against our own. As a consumer, only you have the power of life or death of a business. If you feel that our communities can get along without a particular business, vote against it. But, if it appears that the business performs a useful service, by providing employment, taxes, commodities, community support and other economically favorable activities, your vote in their favor will give them the opportunity of continued growth. Before you cast your vote, ask yourself the following questions about the candidate (business): Does it pay taxes locally? Does it employ local people? Does it contribute to the 101 odd projects each year that help to build our commuities? Does it have an interest in building a healthy business community? If the answer to these questions is "no," add the value these services might have to our to the supposedly "cheap" price offered, and see if it is still a "bargain."

Like it or not, the Christmas buying season is upon us. Toy and gift departments are now being stocked in most stores, and already a good deal of shopping is being done by persons preparing for the annual yule season. Since the period of time from now until Christmas is one of high expenditure by most families, it might be well to make a few observations along the line of consumer buying power. Most people, including residents of our own area, do not realize the power they w e i 1 d through expenditures of funds each year. Each one feels that the small amount he adds to the economy has little or no bearing on the overall functioning of a community. This, according to consumer experts, is far from the truth. Those controlling the expenditure of funds in a community (consumers) have the capabilities of building or destroying any type of economic structure within the community. As an example, if the consumers feel that a grocery store is feasible in their community, they can, through their unity and efforts see that one is established. And through their continued support, providing the necessary volume for an adequate profit, they can build the business to any point that is warranted by the demands of the market. On the other hand, if consumers do not feel the need of a particular grocery store (or any other) in their community, they can destroy it just as easily, by merely diverting their buying power to some other outlet. It is as simple as that. We have the power to build or destroy a business. Let's study a hypothetical case. Suppose as small community felt the need of a store to supply grocery and other staple items for their needs. Through encouragement, they are able to help a small merchant establish a business. With the support of the community, he is able to provide a good service and make a fair profit, even though the volume is small. As the store becomes established, it is able to provide a center of activity, offer some wages to townspeople, and provide a basis for pride in accomplishment. Things continued in this satisfactory economic atmosphere until it was found by consumers that in a neighboring town, much larger than theirs, was a store that offered identical items at a price lower than that offered by their local merchant. Since travel is easy, consumers began making frequent "shopping" visits to the larger store to purchase their supplies. As the volume in the large store rose, and the volume in the small store diminished, the spread between the prices of the two businesses became even greater, and the small merchant was forced to close his doors. Sure, the residents of this small community were saving money or were they? Sure, they were adding to the economic stability of a town but was it their own? This brings up the old ad me locate to give coopr ration for the eucc-eof our program.
