Show THE DOLLARS spent with the home merchant are the dollars dol-lars that help to build up the community. Nobody ever heard of a mail order house in a distant city making contribution contribu-tion for the improvement of this city. The merchant in the city pays nothing towards the support of the school in which our children are educated, nor for the support of the churches in which our people worship. In fact, the dollar sent to the merchant in the big city i.-s gone forever, so far as any good to your community is concerned. Is it fair to deprive the home merchant of your cash trade and thus deprive the community communi-ty of the benefits to be derived from keeping this mmey at home? Civic pride is a virtue to which the citizen can not i :;;.tfully lay claim wo makes a practice of sending away from home fci Lis purchases just for the sake of saving a few pennies on each. Let's all band together in an effort to build up tw community by patronizing pat-ronizing home merchants. TT |
