PHELPS DODGE MERCANTILE co.
FIRM BELIEVER in TRADE AT
HOME-BUY ARIZONA PRODUCTS

The Phelps Dodge Mercantile COM
pany is a great believer in the policy
Of "Trade at Home-Buy Arizona
Products" according to A. w. Liddell
assistant general manager of the firm
Liddell stated that the mercantile
company employed 312 persons in its
Arizona stores, and that the salaries
paid to these employees contributed
wholly or in part to the support of
more than one thousand Americans.
Continuing, Liddell said:
"Since the opening of the first
Phelps Dodge store in Bisbee, Al years
ago, it has been the aim of this COM
pany to contribute in every way pos
sible to the community in which we
do business-to do our bit for the
great state of Arizona.
"As a business institution, we are
firm believers in Arizona, and our en-
ployes share our enthusiasm by prac-
ticing what we preach.
"By keeping our business at home,
times will not be dull--it means more
money. indirectly. for everybody.
sIt's the business done in our home
communities that keeps employment
steady; that means more work for the
inhabitants; that means rising prop
erty values; that means better stocks
in our stores and better service for
the consuming public. It's the BUSH
ness done at home that means good
market for farmers. It's the business
done at home that means growth and
development for Arizona industries
with more and bigger pay rolls and a
bigger and better state.
rThe Phelps Dodge Mercantile COM
pany is trying to do its bit towards
popularizing Arizona Products Our
purchases have increased year by
year. and we hope, with the co-opera-
tion of Arizona Products enthusiasts
material increase will be shown dur
ing the year 1897"
