MONEY SPENT AT HOME IS THE LIFE
BLOOD OF THE COMMUNITY.

Whenever dollar is sent out of town it stays
out. Even the man who sent il away has no
chance of ever seeing part of it again. Not only
that, but it ultimately will force him TO expend
more money for taxes and local improvements
than would be the case if more persons lived in
town to foot the bills.
For land around town to be worth its maxi
mum Of value, IL must be near a live town. Land
around dead town is worth no more than If the
town didn't exist. And the only way to have
live town is to have people living in and around
1t who do their trading there.
Besides, If the people in and around town do
their trading in II, the merchants are encouraged
to keep better and more up-to-date stocks. Their
goods move more rapidly. The stores multiply
and all are able TO do their fill of business en-
ploy people and otherwise keep the money in cir
culation in town.
These merchants ever and anon employ mech
anics to improve their places of business They
employ men TO construct and improve property.
The persons they employ must spend part of
their wages in living expenses, and-the mer-
chants pay taxes, they help to maintain schools
and churches.
Farmers frequently move to town so that
their children may have the advantages Of good
schools and churches But these cannot develop
where there is no commercial life. IL is worth
money in comfort, convenience and satisfaction
to live comparatively near a live town-or in It.
Then why strange town by chasing your
lifeblood-away?
