WHY I TRADE AT HOME

trade at home and never roam
Seeking bargains elsewhere.
| love the town in which / live,
For all my interests are there
And then again, buy from friends
We all need one another.
When ! run short l can approach
My dealer as a brother.
When buying here with conscience clear.
| put my money down,
| know it stays right here and works
For the welfare Of my town.
Another thing, right here / bring
The produce that | raise
And always get an honest deal
I've found out that it pays.
And then | know when buying here
IL helps things TO relax,
And helps the man who pays
His portion Of the tax.
And when I'm sick or in hard luck
The man | buy from's here
With the pocketbook, if need be,
And kindly words Of cheer;
So that is why | trade at home;
I'm booster through and through,
For town that's good TO live in
Is good TO buy in, too.

The Model Press Shop is modern;
They'll order your clothes for you,
Then clean them when they're dirty,
And steam and press them too.
And when your clothes are wearing out
They'll make them look like new
With their expert alteration,
And then they'll dye for you.
