Why some people are continue
ally bowling about patronizing
home industry when they them
selves does not practice what they
preach is beyond our compre-
hension. The town cannot pro-
gress any or the business men
prosper if the people are contin-
ually crying it down and sending
their trade elsewhere just because
they can save few cents. Any
faker may come along and charge
them twice the amount that it is
really worth for his work and they
are perfectly satisfied, but should
any one permanently located here
and spend his money among US
was employed to do the same
work, maybe better, they would
expect him to do it for almost
nothing and the chances are he
gets stood off for his pay. If the
people of Franklin would employ
their home people and do their
trading and buying here they
would help themselves and the
town. Patronize home people and
you will be better thought of by
everyone.
