good enough to live in is good e
nough to buy in.
5. Because I want to see the
goods.
6. Because I want to get what I
pay for
Z. Because every dollar 1 spend
at home stays at home and works
for the development of the city.
8. Because the man I buy from
stands back Of the goods.
9. Because / sell what produce
