Nothing brings prosperity to com
munity more quickly than operating
! home Industries. A record OF pay
/ rolls is the best advertisement any
community can send out.
/ The Bakery. the Laundry, the Bot
/ Ting Works and the Printing Office
! are the only institutions In ShoShone
/ in the nature OF manufacturing in
dustries Each Of these Institutions
exists by selling To the public the dir
rect product OF labor performed In
/ their respective places Each must
maintain a pay roll in proportion to
the business done The business done
depends entirely upon how well the
citizens az Shoshone viii stand Loyalty
bv their own home industries Do you
pafronize the Shoshone Laundry or
Do YOU send your laundry out of town.
10 you demand of your grocer the
nroaucts OF the Shoshonc Bakery. or
do YOU send your money out OF town?
10 you ask for the products or the
Shoshone Botting works or do YOU
send your money out Of town?
no YOU have your printing done at
the Journal office or do YOU send your
money out Of town?
Shoshone are entitled To the loyal
support Of every citizen OF the town.
that they do not have this support is
not due 70 any prejudice the people
have against tic institutions or their
respective owners or managers. but
Is due mostly to thoughtlessness and
habit. Mostly TO the habit of listen
ing 10 the solicitor for the outside in
try. Scarcely week passes but that
some citizen does not come to the
Journal office with copy for rush" /
job and in asking if we can do 1t for
him Immediately WIFI apologize for (
asking that his work must be hurried
hx saving that he had only just dis 1
covered that he must have that work
done that very day and so did not have
time to send it to Boise or Salt Lake
or some outside shop and wants us
to do just enough to last him until
he can send for il to some regular
print shop, The sucker who gets off
that spiel TO US every week is not I'M
friendly 10 the journal shop or its
owner He has simply had that spiel
drilled into him by representatives of
the outside shops until he repeats 1t
from force of habit. and
never stops to think whether it is
true or false. Just imagine. win you
what would happen il an employee of
the journal We're to go to the BUSH
ness man who puts up that opology
and say to him Il wish to buy some
81 your merchandise. | need IL today
md for that reason | don't have time
10 send to a mail order house for it.?''
Not having traded experience with
the managers OF the other Shoshone
Industries we can't speak from the
card for them but we imagine they
nach are called upon for this "emer-
gency" work.
There is enough of the products of
these Shoshone institutions used in
shoshone that IL these local in
iustries were given the loyal support
O which thew are entitled 1t would
equire the services of not less than
wenty new families in Shoshone to
iandle II. These families would
pend enough money among the other
usiness enterprises of the town to
ay hundred per cent dividend TO
very consumer OF the products of
hese Shoshone Industries, even though
higher price were charged. But as
matter OF fact II these industries
eceived this .sort OF support the
rices OF laundry and bakery and
rinf shop products could be reduced.
