''The social sciences have not been
as completely developed as the nat

and consequently we have not made

Buy at Home.

Creates More Work.
By Robert S. Boyns
President Seattle Chamber Of
Commerce


My attention has been directed to
an editorial In The Seattle Star "
Saturday. September 10. entitled,
Wanted. Jobs--Seattle's Most Vital
Problem Today" In the course OF
this editorial you point out that a
serious unemployment situation ex-
lsts. and that jobs are necessary.
You call upon the business interests
70 supply jobs for the winter
months.
The Seattle Chamber Of Commerce
and Commercial club 10 earnestly
interested In assisting you with the
solution OF this problem. and desires
10 make this suggestion:
For some time we have been en-
gaged In an intensive campaign TO
stimulate interest In the manufac-
tured products Of Seattle and the
Pacific Northwest This campaign
has met with success. but there are
stu a great many Of our people
who do not realize the value Of
supporting home Industries. II the
buying public of Seattle will insist
upon being supplied with the manu-
factursd products Of the Pacific
Northwest whenever the quality and
price OF those products are equal to
80 oz products manufactured else.
where. tfsis demand WIN necrssitate
Increased production on the part Of
the manufacturers; and Increased
Production will require additional
esnployes-thus creating Jobs for
which you so earnestly appeal.
II The St.< will encourage women
OF this community TO Immediately
take a kitchen and household in
yentory Of commodities used to the
exclusion OF like articles OF at least
equal price and quality manufac-
fured In Seattle and the Pacific
Northwest. you will be doing a ser
vice for the unemployed of our city.
Likewise. you should urge business
men 10 buy stocks and supplies
from our own factories.
II our people could realize that In
supporting home manufacturers
they are providing the capital with
which these manufacturers enlarge
their business and increase their
payrolls and employ men and wo-
men, they would be more than
willing to throw the community's
purchasing power back OF our own
products.
