Show MORE "RECIPROCITY" Older voters of Delta can remember when one of the two great political parties made a great to do about "reciprocity"'. In this day one seldom hears it mentioned, and yet we believe nothing no-thing better was ever designed as a stimulant to business. ,We don't mean the reciprocity between nations, as the politicians used to argue for and against. But we mean reciprocity recipro-city right here at home. It means reciprocating, and reciprocating1 reciproca-ting1 means that when the other fellow patronizes you it is up to you to reciprocate to patronize him . If you need something that is sold here at home, buy it here, and the man you buy it from, if he is the right sort of man, will turn right around when he needs what you have to sell and buy it from you. That is reciprocity re-ciprocity in its fullest sense, and it means that it won't be long before our dollars are circulating at a rapid rate, and yet not leaving the community. For there's mighty few things a human being can need or desire that can't be had right here from our home merchants. And our farmers can supply most everything that the merchant doesn't keep in stock, or cannot order. Another thing, buying from each other and trading with each other enables all of us to pay each other with a greater degree de-gree of promptness and that makes for progress and prosprity. Money thus kept in circulation stimulates outside interest, and pretty soon trade from other communities commences to finn its way here. Let's try a little more reciprocity right here , at home a little more trading with each other and less with the strangers whose only interest in us is to get all the money out of us he possibly can . |
