T the opening of the New Year we have
the ground covered with snow unfrozen
in most of the county. 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.
