IT PAYS TO TRADE WITH HOME
MERCHANTS

1t pays to trade at home. We
are so accustomed to reading that
statement that it makes little I'M
preston, but is still true as ever.
Foreign concerns selling directly to
local customers take just that much
away from the wealth of the COM
munity never to return it. II the
same thing costs little more to buy
from the local merchant, which IL
rarely does, you are still making d
good trade to buy from him, for the
money stays at home and eventually
some of it returns to you in your
business There are many things OF
course, which are not enough III
demand to justify the home mer-
chant in carrying them and THESE
can be bought elsewhere with no dls-
advantage to anyone. But it taxes
a spirit of each for all to make
community prosperous in a business
way, and buying your goods away
from home is not in accord Wilh
that spirit.
