Many people ask that question, but very few trouble to seek the answer. Why should people patronize their home merchants? Because it is a great saving of time, and time today repre- sents money. Because the home merchant can only remain in business through the patronage of home people, and a town without merchants would be a sorry place in which to live. Because the home merchant sells goods that do not have to . be returned because of defects or inferiority of quality. It is the only way in which a local man can hold his trade. Because the local merchant is not in the habit of charging excessive prices. You may at times be able to get the same article elsewhere for a little less money, but the quality will in- variably be reduced in proportion to the price. The local mer- [ chajt cannot afford to sell “cheap” stuff. His customers would not tolerate it. A ‘*Because the prosperity of a community depends upon the amount of money in circulation in the community, and that is . regulated mainly by the marketing of surplus products abroad and the keeping of as much as possible of the receints at home. Because a community that spends most of its money abroad for supplies soon finds that it has but little left for the purchase of additional supplies. 1t is so simple a child could understand it, and what a child can compyrehend should not go unheeded by adults. % Think it over.
