BUSINESS MEN TO BOOST
TRADE AT HOME" WEEK


Linking together a series of local
campaigns in statewide movement,
chambers of commerce of Arizona
will Join in fifth annual "Trade at
Home-Use Arizona Products" week
to be observed March Is to 20.
Following the lines of the four
previous weeks" the campaign will
be. a local movement in each of the
| larger cities of the state, conducted
| by its chamber of commerce and other
civic bodies, with the Arizona Indus
trial congress serving as a point Of
contact for exchange of ideas and
obtaining of statewide observance.
According to the plans outlined in
consultation between number of the
chambers which have put on marked
~ successful campaigns in the past
four years, the purposes of Trade at
Home Week" will fall into four head
ings:
First: To help merchants and busi-
ness and professional men of each
community show the public that their
services, including price and quality,
equal those Of outside firms and out
side men.
Second: To show the buying public
generally that it is to the interest Of
every citizen to deal with home peo-
pie, other factors being equal, because
every citizen shares in increased de-
velopment and prosperity of the COM
munity, which can result only from
increased business.
Third To help Arizona manufac-
turers and distributors show the pub
lie that Arizona products, in price and
quality, compare with the best that
can be imported.
Fourth: To show the buying public
Of the state that it is to the interest
of every Arizonan to use Arizona
products in all possible cases, because
every Arizonan will derive direct or
indirect benefit from the greater in
dustrial development that will result.
The "Trade at Home" and ''Use
Arizona Products" movements have
been credited, rightly, with contri
buting very materially to the states
progress and prosperity by keeping
Within the state millions of dollars
