Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?
w HEN a new bridge is

w HEN a new bridge is
needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it2
Hardly. They will not even
send a contribution to help
buy a bell for the new chur-
ch or to help a Fourth Of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned IN
its prosperity.
This town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in tile i'm
mediate vicinity. If they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kill their town.
and they are making it
harder for them to ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to
yourself. and you owe some
thing to your neighbors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't injure your nei-
ghbors without injuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.
SPEND YOUR MONEY
