KEEP PROSPERITY HERE

What better slogan could have for pro- gressive community?
 Buy it at home this year! Keep prosperity in this town!
 Everybody should want to see McCrory prosper, and we all want to share in the fruits of that pros perity Even the fellow who habitualy sends out ot town for his goods wants his full quota of the riches that are accumulated by the thrift and husbandry of his fellow citizens
 Producing and selling the surplus abroad and then keeping money at home by buying from home dealers will add many thousand dollars to the money in circulation in this community. It is the way of meeting prosperity and gathering in our share and little more for good luck. Let other communities support themselves Our interests and our duty are at home. Let's keep prosperity in McCrory
