HOME TRADE IS THE CHIEF
FACTOR IN TOWNS GROWTH.
Real Civic Spirit of Population Shown
In Extent to Which Local Stores
Are Patronized.

1t Is the ambition of every town
to grow and to keep on growing
These are the days in which things
move. Our largest cities We're nothing
more than villages in. their beginning.
Would they have ever amounted to
anything il the people who lived in
them had failed to patronize the men
who Invested their money In opening
stores to supply their wants? OF
course not. Nobody denies that home
trade is the backbone, the very life
and sinew, of towns prosperity And
yet the people living in a>whole lot OF
these villages and towns of bright
promise need sharp awakening to a
fact generally acknowledged and so
often demonstrated. Permit the local
merchant who is doing an honest bust
ness to meet with failure and leave
your town and you deal your town a
blow more deadly than you may real
ize. Support that local merchant by
paying him your money for necessities
instead of sending it to a thankless
mail order house that announces sha m
bargains, and you are doing your duty
as a citizen and at the same time help
ing to lay the foundation for a grow
ing community.
Unfortunately there are communi-
ties where the residents, misled by
advertisements of mail order concerns,
ignore the existence of the home
tradesmen and send their money into
this misdirected channel in the false
belief that they will receive good mer-
chandise at next to cost No success
full tradesman is selling his goods at
cost price. If he followed that rule he
would be nothing less than an imbe-
cile. The sham bargain advertised by
n dishonest mail order firm Is the
worst enemy the small town has to
combat, and 1t is the duty of the citi-
zens of the ambitious small town to
fight the octopus scheming to devour
them.
The man and woman with money to
spend owe a duty to the town they
call home Actions speak louder than
words. Money talks. A dollar spent
at home is action-action of the right
sort And that dollar will talk figura-
lively speaking. 1t will help to make
your town grow. Soon more stores
will come. new buildings will go up.
the railroad you use will quickly take
notice and give you more trains. and
finally you will feel about as proud of
your village as the American boy feels
when he first d0ns long trousers. Re
member those first long "pants''-strut
about and show 'em feeling? Well.
when q town gets to feel that way it's
surely growing too
