 An exchange has the following to say "We cannot keep this fact before the public too promi- nently. Everything considered, it is cheaper and better in every way to buy goods of home merchants. If you go away to buy, your expenses make the cost more in every case. If you buy from travel ing salesmen. who come from other cities, their travelling expenses must be figured in their prices and profits. But, strongest reason of all, If you buy at home, your money Is kept at home, in circulation among your own people. who pay the taxes which protect and care for your own municipal interests and vel fare. Build up your own city as you would foster your own family"
