In the following paragraph the
Mer Rouge Democrat describes
the situation here The express
Office is filled with packages from
various large city concerns for To-
cal buyers. In many instances
the goods sent off for are sold at
the same or better figures by the
home merchants. But the city
houses send out gaudy catalogues
with catchy descriptions of the
articles enumerated and the aver
age buyer is easily led to believe
bargain is in store for him. He
buys money order, sends his
money out of his home town and
gets in return nothing more than
his home merchants would have
gladly sold him for the same
money. It is just such business
transactions as these that make
hard times in Louisiana and pros
porous times in st. Louis, Chica-
go and other big distributing
points. Every dollar Of money
in this section should be invested
here or spent with home people,
or as nearly so as could be, that the
money might remain in circula-
ton here. Money sent off never
returns, and Il section of country
that buys away from home can
never expect good times at home.
Keep your money at home and
