TRADE AT HOME

When the booster club proposed a
trade at home campaign II placed fin
ger on very sore spot and was treated
to quite kick" The amount of busi-
ness done outside Of the city hy Deming
folks Is enormous and II isn't at all
confined TO cheaY mail order buying.
The members Of the booster club found
this out and much more besides that.
while discouraging, hasn't daunted the
determination to wage war against the
practice Among other things IL is APP
parent that II is not always possible TO
secure the goods needed at home that
prices are more or less erratic and
sometimes prohibitive; that selections
are frequently limited from necessity 4;
that SOME people will never buy at
home what can be had by motor eX-
cursim to neighboring points; that fire.
ouently thoughtlessness or habit deter
mines purchases outside the city. Then.
Of course, there are the limitations OF
demand that the local merchants must
deal with. determining whether or not
the call is great enough for some kinds
of goods to warrant placing II i'm stock.
All these factors must be considered
and study made Of methods 10 over
come difficulties.
But from any angle the matter Is
viewed a campaign Of home buying will
yield a large profit to the community.
When money is scarce, the more local
commerce there Is, the less cash IL
takes to finance buying and the more
freely purchases can he made. Outside
buying, of course. cannot be stopped,
but Deming should have some way Of
levying tribute on this commerce.
The booster club has appointed a
committee to plan n trade at home
campaign: the chamber Of commerce
should do the same, lending each home
Industry assistance In persistent ef-
fort 10 educate the public up to the vi
tai necessity Of keeping the money at
home, and suggesting 20 local dealers
better methods of meeting outside
competition through the production or
importation Of goods demanded. With
out Quitting in the affairs Of others,
a mutual effort along the line suggest
ell could not help but be productive uf
good.

Deming for our living and Il would
seem only sensible that we spend our
money where we expect TO make IL.

better credit association could be found

would k0nw exactly how each one Of
its members stood as TO ability To pay

credit requested. or In some other way
10 demonstrate his ability TO pay for
what he bought. Refusal 90 comply

mean that the stranger would get mo-
credit Inability TO make a deposit

business men would treat Il as such.

Favorable balances would go into a
