TRADE AT HOME

Communities grow in proportion
to the support given them by theil
residnts. You cannot your town by
trading elsewhere or placing bus
mess in other localities that could be
placed at home.
Folks who try to save pennies Of
tentimes lose dollars. The home
merchant is generally honest and Of
fers honest values for your money.
He can't afford to be otherwise. He
depends for his living from the com
munity and must give the commun-
ity what it wants at fair price
When you are tempted to trade
outside and purchase Just as good
merchandise at greatly reduced
prices, you saoGll think twice be-
fore buying. If you are "stung" by
your home merchant he will no
doubt be glad to make an adjust
ment. The out-of-town is not per-
sonally interested in you. He is in
tent on selling you this once and
probably do not expect to sell you
again. He does not have to take
great care in preserving your good
will
More than owing it to your com
munity to trade at home, you should
give the home merchant first oppor-
tunity to serve you, from a sound
economic standpoint.

FIND RICHES IN SAND WASTE
Silica in What Had Been Considered
Worthless Heaps Means Much
to Two Towns.

The activity of the old lumber days
at Port Austin, Mich, and vicinity are
to be revived, but silica sand, and not
lumber, will furnish the motive power
for the active Industrial scenes. Port
Austin's industrial activity is rising
Phoenixlike from the ashes, and what
was considered a bleak, worthless
sand waste is to be converted into
golden dollars and give employment
to many men, according to the Detroit
News.
Summed up in brief lake shore
sand bank has been purchased by a
Detroit fuel and building supply COM
pany. Analytical tests show that this
waste sand, which is known in indus
trial circles as silica sand, is admira-
bly, adapted to foundry and casting
work.
Almost 200 men are now at work
constructing new docks, for it is
planned to ship the sand by water
from Port Austin to Detroit. The
lumber and timber for the 2,5OO-footI
dock, which is now under construc-
ton, is being purchased from farmers
In the vicinity of Port Austin, so that
the village will also benefit from the
item Of construction.
The new dock is near the old
wharves, which in the early lumber
ing days of the Thumb made Port
Austin and its suburb, Port Crescent,
thriving centers. The silica sand de-
post, it is stated, win not be exhaust
ed for 30 years.
What was considered a barren,
sandy waste promises to put Port
Austin and Port Crescent once more
on the map of the Thumb" as wide
awake industrial centers.
