Proclamation
The citizens of East Liverpool, Ohio
are conscious of the destructiveness of
foreign competition to their living
standards. There is no industry in
America that surrenders as much OF
it's market to the foreign competitors
, as our industry. This is due chiefly
to the difference in wage and living
standards. hence the obvious necessity
of every man, woman and child, resi-
dents Of this city, the pottery center
of America, participating in the "BUY
AMERICAN MADE GOODS MONTH
, program to give impetus to a moro
permanent prosperity for our com
nunity.
, The present tariff act makes it com
9 pulsory that all imported articles be
$ labeled plainly, designating country
/, of origin, enabling the purchaser tt
discriminate in the spending of his
= wages THAT he will purchase only
; products5Gade, in America.
