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.

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.
