Show BUY AT HOME AND BUILD UP YOUR OWN COMMUNITY Moist Amercans are convinced of the fact that it is better to buy Ani- erican goods than those made in far-, far-, eign countries, where American made products can be obtained, and ic is well to remember that it is equally , as sound business sense to buy in one's home city, rather than in some nearby metropolis, vnt'n the goods i can be had at home.
