NEW PAYROLLS ARE WAITING
i Any substantial increase in business activity naturally re
sults in an increase in manpower to carry on that activity.
And that increase in manpower means an immediate in
crease in payroll and the community buying power. With
additional manufacturing plants desired by everyone inter
ested in conimuiity prosperity, the greatest opportunity for
that addition in La Grande lies in the opportunity to increase
the output and payroll of those factories already here and
in operation. .
If all the people in this county purchased products manu
factured and produced in this valley wherever possible, tho
added business activity and increase in number of people em
ployed !wouId bo astounding. That they fail , to do so is
largely va matter of failing to know about home products.
And that is the purpose of the Home Products Show being
bponsored by tho chamber of commerce scheduled for the
last two days of next week.
Most of the things manufactured in Union county will
be attractively displayed there. Interesting facts about the
quality of these products will be available and an entertain
ing program is planned. It will give people of this commun
ity a chance to loarn about their own industries, to sell them
selves on the products of those industries. And there will
be lots of "I-didn'l-know " and "I-never-realized " exclama
tions as La Grande citizens discover things that have been in
their own back yard, as it were, for many years without their
becoming acquainted with them.
The Home Products Show will have a big educational
value and will be hugely attended, but It will be of small
permanent value unless the citizens of the community enter
into the spirit of this homo products promotion and givo
locally manufactured products a trial in their buying after
tho show is a thing of the past. It is the one immediate
means of adding new payrolls and i. reasing every resident's
opportunity for greater prosperity.' Save Friday and Satur
day nights of next week for this e m. Go see tho displays.
Kind out how you can speed tho money-turnover in Union
county by buying these homo products. It's not only a mat
ter of community loyalty; it's a matter of good business.
