CASH OR CREDIT
Town of ReynO and Community

The business, firms of Reyno
present to their town and COM
munity this week this page,
which will be run in the Star
Herald for four weeks. In this
page will be presented each
week news and advertising con-
corning the town of Reyno and
community. The business men
of Reyno are interested in their
home town of course. It is
here their business interests
are centered. 1t is here they
have built their homes. 1t is
here they have reared their
families and most of their earn
ings in business are spent.
Does it pay to trade at home e?
If you tell some people that it
does they may question the ac-
curacy of your statement, or
content themselves with a care
less, "well perhaps it does" but
have a right to spend my
money where l please" Now
for the benefit of those who
think this way we desire to
present a few of the why's
people should patronize their
home town."
In modern days the prosperi-
ty of a community depends up
on the amount of money in cir
/culation in that community.
If a man goes to a nearby
city to buy a suit of clothes the
Pocahontas star herald., 1923-04-20

money he pays for the suit is
ALL taken out of the town. 1t
is gone, and the town doesn't
see it again.
But if he buys the suit from
a home dealer the wholesale
cost only goes out of town. The
merchants profit and overhead
expense remains in the home
town.
Figured on the basis of a
single suit for a single individ-
ual, it amounts to nothing of
importance, but if multiplied in
to hundreds and thousands of
suits, and other articles of
wearing apparel, and shoes,
and hardware and millinery,
and farm implements, and
building supplies, and all of
the other articles that enter in
to our daily life, it can readily
be seen that the two items of
overhead expense and profits, if
all kept at home by the patron
izing of home dealers, would
mean an enormous amount of
money kept in circulation right
here in our community.
And YOU would get a part
of the money.
It's>worth thinking over, be-
cause it pays to trade at home.
Again, does it pay to trade
at home? OF course it does.
