Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-07-14
By Benjamin Brick,
Director of Publicity of the Salem
Commercial Club

Last week | wrote my first article
relative to impressing on the folks of
Salem and nearby towns the import
ance of patronizing the home markets
whether in wholesale or retail form.
The article was headed "The Ideal
Home. " Today l will speak of
Loyalty.
"Loyalty," what is loyalty ? 1t
means faithful TO duty, and what is
your duty to the community in which
you reside, does not the community
prosperity mean your prosperity, the
community health means your health ;
when an epidemic strikes your com
munity remember you are not exempt,
whether it be an epidemic of disease or
hard times, and if it strikes in a com.
munity you as resident thereof will
be effected, 80 for this reason it is
wise for all of us to do all we can to
prevent epidemics whether il be Of i'll
ness of body or illness of commerce.
And what is the best way to prevent
an epidemic is by the community
standing together and fighting fear
lessly and, loyaly for the general inter
est of the community, and to erase for
all time all selfish interest.
Can | impress on you that the very
life of this community depends upon
your loyalty to it, and can't | make it
plain to you that if you purchase your
necessities no matter what they be,
whether in food stuffs or wearing ap-
parel away from home that this condi-
,,n l,nY
this that your neighbOrs prosperity
spells prosperity for you, and both your
prosperity spell the same for the whole
community, and the same can be said
of hard times and panicy conditions.
SO remember be loyal to yourself and
the community. by giving the first
chance to the local dealer or manufac
turer, and buy at home where your
money stays and multiplies, instead of
allowing it to roam from the COM
munity.
Do Something for Your Community
Start in today and resolve to become
loyal citizen. You would fight for
your flag and country, and community,
why not then in a peaceful manner put
your shoulder to the hub of Community
interest and stand by your home city
and help to do your share in making 1t
Il prosperous and happy place to live.
Don't Send Your Money Away.
You must not send your money away,
you can buy just as cheap at home for
all merchants in the nation must pay
practically the same price for goods,
whether he be in New York, Chicago,
Denver. San Francisco or Salem. 1t
is true that sometimes one merchant
is cheaper on an article than his COM
petitor but right in return his competi-
tor may be cheaper on theo ther article,
and it is the same thing whether you
send away out of your community, or
purchase at home, the dollar at home
does YOU more good, than the dollar in
Chicago or elsewhere.
