members of the organization through
out the United States in making their
purchases to demand only American
made goods and not to accept any
imported goods if American made
goods can be obtained.
In adopting the resolutions 1t was
pointed out that by demanding only
American made goods by the pur-
chaser will increase the demand from
the merchant; this will increase Il
greater demand from the manufac-
turer, and that in order to meet the
demand it will be necessary for the
manufacturer to double or possibly
triple the output. This means en-
Dloyment for thousands of eN-Seryice
men and women in our country who
are now walking the streets of our
cities out of work and will keep the
trade in our country.
