WHY CITIZENS SHOULD
TRADE AT HOME
At Barberton, Ohio, a lot of public
spirited women started a movement
for beautifying their home city, and
asked merchants of Barberton to help
them meet the expenses. The mer-
chants, came back with the rnther
shocking information that the fact the
women of Barberton did so much of
their trading in Cleveland made busi-
ness so poor for the Barberton mer-
chants that" they could not afford to
-do any thing to help their own city.
The women saw the reasonableness
of this respouse and straight-way of
this formed a Buy-at-Home club, of-
fering prizes for citizens of Barber-
ton for the best article on “Why We
Should Trade At Home.”’
The following article won the prize.
Because if Wc' spend our money with
our home merchant when we have
the cash he gets to.know us and if we
get hard up he will give us credit
which we can’t get from distant con-
cerns.
Because about thirty cents cn every
dollar that is spent here stays here,
and is distributed back to the rest of
us in a way of wages, lawyer fees,
rent, interest, doctor’s bills, taxes and
the purchases of life for the merchants
and his clerks/
Because our home merchants em-
ploy our sons and our daughters and
our friends.
Because the more business that is
done here the faster and bigger
town will grow.
Because our merchants want
trade tomorrow as well as today and
they are always going to give us a
square deal to get it and keep it.

down to posterity, j ly everything we save money on do-
ing so. '

Because wc can always see and in-i
spect an article before we give our
money for it.
Because if we are dissatisfied with
an article it is easy and convenient to
either exchange it for something suit-
able or get our mohey back, without
going to the bother of writing a letter
and packing i0*for shipment.
Because when we buy from our
home merchants he gives us the bene-
fit of his -valuable experience and
knowledge if we are in doubt as to
the Nueces just what we need.
We are talking about the best way
to build a town, is to leave it and go
somewhere else to trade. Then there
is another way, and. that is to trade
with mail order houses. You’re right;
that is a good way to do it.
They build good roads for you; they
clean up your town; have your streets
built; your schools and churches for
you. In’, fact ihey are right there
with the goods.
If you happened to have the cash,
or post office money order ready for
them, you can always get what you
order anywhere from 30 to 60 days.
Of course, if it is not just what you
ordered you can get it exchanged in
another 30 or 60 days, or a part of
your money back. The home mer-
chant is a pretty good sort of a fel-
low, and it is rather convenient some
times to have him in business, be-
cause—well of course—sometimes we
run out of ready cash, and in such
cases we have to have merchandise
just the same, and the mail order
houses won’t let you have it if you

haven’t the wherewith.
Then we say it Is convenient to
patronize the home merchants! Wc
believe in building up the heme town
any wav.
The best way to build a town is to
patronize ycur heme merchants, lock
over your home paper and see the
many bargains he is offering from
time to time. Be square and honest
with yourself, and admit that he is
putting in 16 hours a day for your
convenience. If you will do that and
not use him just as a convenience,
you will then start building up your
home town.
Another way to do it—someone is
certainly resorting to an individual
effort.
This is a community in which each
one of us is expected to do his share
toward making it a better place in
which to live.
Each jnember of the community
should take an active interest in all
local affairs. Each member should
vote on election day. Each member
should turn out to every meeting
where community developments are
being discussed.
