Our prosperity de pends largely upon building a fence around the home dollar, for simol- eons spent abroad returnelh not. One may think that the expenditure of a few dollars now and then by a few individuals amount to little in a year but the aggregate is surprisingly large. If this money was kept in Cen tral Point it would change hands many times before it finally left the city and in that way a large number of people would be benefitted by the small profit they would receive for their wares. Perhaps you think your particular business would make you independent to do what you please, but everyone in this world is dependent upon someone else, and every dollar that changes hands in Central Point is a benefit to every citizen, directly or indirectly. You may think you are getting better goods for the same money, but when youtake into consideration the ser vice rendered or the credit given and the wilingnes on the part of your local man to “make good” anything that may not prove satisfactory, you will fnid you would be much better off to patronize home people. It is our opinion that any citizen who pays his money direct to outside parties for something he is obliged to have, and does not permit it to circulate through the local channels of trade and the banks, whether it is for dry goods, insurance, laundry work, groceries, automobiles or any thing which could be purchased or or dered through our local people, pays dearly in the long run, and is a hin- derance to the progres of the city. Let us boost the booster, knock the knocker, patronize home industry and watch the city grow. THAT the importance of the industries of a city should never be forgotten. No opportunity should be lost to encourage and assist in their growth and development. THAT in the success of home industries rests the development of a community and the prosperity of all who live there. THAT every citizen should believe in the greatness of his or her home city, its in dustries and the future that is ahead of it, and should give to it their w’hole-hearted support and never waver in this duty.
