Read This Carefully.

Few people realize how many debts
dollar can pay or how many articles
dollar can purchase when it is kept
going. You pay your doctor, he
pays his merchant. The merchant
pays his landlord, the landlord pays
his builder, the builder pays his la
borer or artisan and they in turn
pass it on to the grocer, and it goes
back around the circle.
In the cases enumerated above one
dollar has done the work of six.
Every dollar kept in Christian coun-
ty and kept in circulation can con-
tribute to the support, comfort and
happiness of from one to ten people
every day it crculates. Sent to a
distant city its purchasing and debt
paying power goes with it. and is
ended in so far as we are concerned.
OF course we realize that there are
certain articles which are not and
cannot be produced here and must
be purchased elsewhere. In cases
of this sort everyone knows that the
wholesale rates are the cheapest and
that less money leaves the county if
the goods are purchased wholesale.
1t is in the wholesale purchase of
goods that the merchants of Chris
tian county perform a useful and
necessary function. They make a
study of the market and of your
wants and they order at the lowest
wholesale prices. Competition holds
the profit of, the merchant to a rea-
sonable figure, and whatever the
profit is, itremains at home.
For every article bought away
from home the community loses the
cash represented in the retailers pro-
fit as we'll as the manufacturers first
cost. Again, when you are in hard
lines you call on the local dealer to
extend you credit. You wouldn't
think of asking the mail order man
to do this. Why should you or any
other man ask favors of his friends
and neighbors and send all his cash
favors away to strangers2
A prosperous community must
produce more than il consumes, and
the more home production and unit
ed efforts are encouraged the better
off a community will be. II an ar
ticle you need is made in Christian
county you ought TO buy it in prefer
ence TO foreign made article il the
price is right and the quality Is right.
Your home manufacturer has a
right to expect your business il he
can meethis competitors quality and
price.

Great DANGER IN BUYING
AWAY FROM HOME
Many Families Thoughtlessly
Make Their Purchases in
This Manner
A Word To The Wise.

Every good citizen of Hopkinsville
and of Christian county is directly or
indirectly working for the financial,
agricultural or civic development Of
this immediate section. Those of
you who have caught the broader
vision may have wiped out individual
lines, and your efforts may be direct
ed broadly for the good of all the
people, but the great majority of US
are looking for community advance
ment from purely personal and
individual standpoint.
But even from the purely selfish
standpoint of individual profit, it is
wise for us to consider whether or
not we can continue to send out of
this county to the mail order house
in Chicago or some other distant
lefty the large sums which we are an
nually sending and the bulk of which
could be profitably spent with the
home merchant.
Trade at Home" is a slogan which
should be Incorporated into every
home and every business. When
you spend dollar with the home
business man, it means in all proba-
bility he will spend that dollar back
with you Or your neighbor. When
you send dollar to the mail order
man you have put that dollar where
it will never come back to Christian
county to circulate. Our home mer-
chants are alive and they have fine
big stocks of merchandise in every
line. They do not ask, nor do they
expect to make an exorbitant profit
and they ought to get your patron
Iage. If you are not giving your
business to them you ought to begin
] to do it now. If all the,citizens of
Christian county would throw away
their mail order catalogues and
spend in this county the money they
have been sending away, there would,
at most conservative estimate, be
$50, 10000 more money per annum
left in circulation in this county.
Fifty thousand dollars that you have
been sending each year to people
whose interests do not touch yours,
who have no interest in you and who
sell no better goods than the mer-
chants of Christian county and whose
price is no better when all the cost
of getting the goods to you is taken
into consideration.
1t has been estimated by reliable
statistician that the state of Ken
lucky was annually spending with
the mail order houses the staggering
sum of $4,000, 100000 per annum.
Have you been contributing any part
of this sum to the prosperity of
distant section of the country? If
IyOu have it is time to stop. Do a
little thinking for yourself. Turn
over new leaf and TRADE AT
HOME.
