Home Trade Policy
Every citizen of this community has a certain re-
sponsibility for its growth and welfare. While
there is a natural flow of friendly dealings be-
tween neighboring towns and the outside world,
this “foreign trade” should not be overdone.
Our first duty should be to our own merchants,
to our own neighbors. Let’s adopt a consistent
“home trade policy” and buy at home, bank at
home, and generally deal at home, as much as
possible.
