self and your family when you make your pur-
chase?
The prosperity and opportunity of all of us
here are bound up in the prosperity for OUR
COMMUNITY, both town and farm.
Daily experience shows that if to
prosper individually we must be COMMUNITY
BUILDERS.
Opportunity for ourselves and advantages
for our children here at home depend on build
ing the kind of community that furnishes
such opportunity.
The great store systems operated from the
great cities, generally speaking, have just one
interest in these smaller communities and that
is to make money out of them
Sen George W. Norris, of Nebraska, says:
eff this combination idea is to go
on much longer there will not be
man in the United States, from farm
ing to manufacturing, who will not be
working for somebody else"
The thousands of local communities, like
ours, throughout the land must be built up and
kept going by the people whose permanent
homes and whose interests are entirely in these
local communities.
The independently owned store is actual
and vital part of the community because its
investment and it's interests are entirely here
at home
Purchases of merchandise by the independ-
tly-owned store bring commercial travellers to
the town-men who patronize hotels, restaur-
ants, garages, banks and other business con-
cerns-men who advertise our community.
The independent stores daily operations
create patronage for local business concerns
in other lines, and add to the business import
ance of the community in general
And, too, opportunity is created for the en-
ployment of local people in these various local
institutions.
A healthy, prosperous local community fur
nishes better market for farm produce
Vote for community progress by giving pre-
ference to independently business enter
prises.
