HOW 1T MAY BE MADE TO
DO DOUBLE DUTY
Ask for Colorado Made Goods
and Keep All Your Money
at Home and Add to
Colorado's Growth

Did you ever stop to consider how
much more good Colorado earned
dollar can do for Colorado If it re-
mains at home instead Of gadding
about the country at large and risk
ing oblivion in some eastern strong
box?
1t is to demonstrate the multiplicity
of benefits to accrue to the state
through retaining its dollars within
the boundaries of the commonwealth
that the Colorado Manufacturers as
sociation has undertaken to inform
the people of Colorado about the won
derful, and possibly, unsuspected, pur-
chasing possibilities of their dollars
here. 1t is only by keeping our
money at home to freely circulate
in our own channels of trade that
Colorado's prosperity can continue as
it is today, in the face of general
financial uneasiness.
You can buy almost anything in
Colorado that necessity demands or
luxury seeks. What cannot be
found today in the Colorado market
will soon be Forthcoming, but over
nine-tenths of the daily needs of Colo
RADIOS Inhabitants can now be supplied
from the products of the states var
led industries.
And these Colorado products are
now standing, and will always stand.
the test of quality. They are as
good, if not better, than similar goods
made in other states. Being pro-
duced at home, they must perforce be
sold here as cheaply, quality for quail
ity, as those manufactured elsewhere.
Although their loyalty should justify
the payment by Colorado people of
even an advanced price for Colorado
products, or the price being equal.
should encourage them to overlook
possible deficiencies of Colorado
made goods, the manufacturers of the
state have never asked the people to
make any such concessions. The
manufacturers are willing to let their
goods stand on their merits, but at
the same time they advance the ques-
tion, why shouldn't the consumers Of
Colorado, if they can get an article
made in Colorado as good and as
cheap as one made elsewhere, prefer
10 purchase the product of home in
dustry?
1t is not difficult to get Colorado
made merchandise All you have to
do is to ask for it. If the dealer you
patroniZe has not had the patriotism
or the forethought to secure his stock
from Colorado factories, he will soon
do so if demand becomes apparent.
For instance, when you go to buy q
can of paint, or a can of peas, or any
one of the host of things you might
inquire for, how much better and how
easy it would be for you to call for
and insist upon getting Colorado
made paint or Colorado canned
peas. Your purchase would increase
the demand for that particular ar
ticle; the money that you and such
other public spirited citizens would
pay for it, would go into more stock;
the manufacturer would in turn use
it to employ more workmen! that
would mean more families would 10
cate in the state, and Colorado's
growth would be given fresh impetus
and the glory of its future would bo
painted in even brighter colors.
Now, what do you intend to do, Mr..
Colorado Citizen? Will you keep
your dollars at home or will you In
vest them in foreign made goods and
probably bid goodby to them for
ever?
