D A IL Y T ID IN G S THE CHAMBER O t COMMERCE TORUM The interest m anifested at the first Chamber of Commerce Forum m eeting yesterday should be grati fy in g to those who have the city of Ashland at heart. T o see more than h alf a hundred business men gath ered around a luncheon forgetting for awhile their own problems, in the larger and more unselfish task of helping to solve the community’s problems means much. I t moans primarily that the business inter ests of our city realize that the proper functioning of; a Chamber of Commerce is essential to the con tinued growth and prosperity of the en tire commun ity. I t mean* that the business interests are ready and w illing, to join hands with their competitors in w orking unselfishly for the good of the entire city. It spells cooperation in letters so high and so brilliant that they may be seen in distant states. It provides a magnetic attraction to others, who for various reasons may not have joined in the coopera tive spirit, that has made Ashland known far and wide as a substantial, steadily growing city, and a most desirable place to live.

"It’s so »lily. •Xl/e Isn’t worth bothering so BUYING AT HOMS In an effort to compile facts and figures showing the amount of money paid out each week locally, for pay rolls, the* reporter Working on this assignment brought back the rather startling information that if the people of A shland'w ho make their living hero were to spend their m oney with local business houses, the payroll would be considerably larger. In the trading out of town question, Ashland does not differ m aterially from other cities. The trade a t home problem 1» as old as civilization. Peo ple generally and women in particular find an irresist ib le appeal in the shelve« o f out of town merchants. That many times they pay more for the privilege of buying their merchandise where it does not benefit locally means little. The desire to purchase away from home seems to overcome a natural economical trend of mind that many people possess. T hai the habit, for in many cases it can be rightfully called a habit, i< a'pernicious one locally is apparent. That those people who persist in taking money earned here to some other city and placing it in circulation, are striking at the very foundation o f their own livji- hood, is a fact. • I t ie'siinply phisiology applied to business. The streets that comprise A shland’s business district are the main arteries of the city. The business houses that are lined u p ret either side are the corpuscles, that form the bleed streams, which in tium make up the life of the eity. Add to these business houses nourish ment in the way of increased buying, spending the money at home that ordinarily finds its way into the main arteries of other cities, and the stream becomes healthier. The entire body becomes more animated, aa a result. Take away from this the nourishment, that normally .belongs, and the body eventually will dwindle aw ay and perish. IP s sim ply an anatomical law, as applied to business. It works the same in the city of Ashland aa it does in the human body. Think it over and judge for yourself.
