That in itself is a * cheering outlook for the beginning of 1932. The past few years have taught thought ful Sherman countians that no lasting prosperity or, in fact, no local prosperity at all can be had without the cooperation of every one in the county. This means support of each others industry or business; this means provid ing, as far as possible, a market for the farm er’s produce; it means buying locally, as much as is possible. Sherman county gained a reputation for • economic strength and solidity when it was a unit as far as buying and selling and general trade was concerned. Now that it has scatter ed its buying power it is in the doldrums. At the beginning of this year, resolve to give the home merchant a chance. Get his prices for the same grade of merchandise at the same terms as other places, He will appreci ate the opportunity you have given him to serve you. During 1932, we can build a better Sher man county. In the new year this paper will be work ing for the best interest of the county as it has in the past.
