That you should keep your mo*y at home by spending it at home. The financial assets of a city do nyich to measure its prosperity. You should increase these assets so prosperity can increase. You decree* hem by spending money elsewhere. That when citizens uke a pledge of loyalty to the home city and stay with it, the wohle city prospers. That by force of will, the study of the situation, and the application of common sense most cities deter mine the policy of the home city. Then with hardwork, enthusiasm and persistency they carry iut that policy to a successful conclusion. The poli cy of buying at home is a policy that ' makes good cities better. | That too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the possibilities which lie in the proper wooing of business for the home city. That the city or c immunity that grasps and utilizes the knowledge of what buying at home means finds local business prospering and new ' enterprises seeking locations. That whenever you buy merchan dise from those who advertise in lo cal papers you are assured of pro tection, service and promises lived up to. That when you buy from non-ad- vertisen and wake up to the fact that the goods you bought arenot what you thought they wort, don’t kick, you are just out of luck. Reading the ads before you buy adds much to the joy of buying, be cause you can always find advertised most astonishing values for your money. I ASIA GOES TO MARKET Change works fast in the Orient! There are trolley cars in Pekin. There are telephones in Tokio. In Hong Kong houses and streets are electrically lighted. The 'rickshaw is giving way to the automobile. Chinamen are eating American b-eakfast cereals. They are smoking American cigar ettes. And now comes news that a new J chewing gum has been created es- — pocially — — ? - 11 -- for the PkinAcn Chinese irnJa trade. Aisa, once looked upon as just a place from which to import silks and curioa, has gone to market. In eight years China jumped from twenty-eighth to fifth place among world buyers of American goods. In ten, Japanese imports increased threefold. The Dutch East Indies, the Malay States, British India, Chosen, Siberia, Australia and the Philippines are eager for a chance to trade. Across the Pacflc lie three-quart ers of the wirld’s people, white men, black men, yellow men and brown men. Year by ya* heir buying power grows. Year by year they look more and more to America for manufact ured goods of all kinds. A commerce detained to become the great eat in all history, already amounting to hundreds of million« annually, is to be the heritage of certain youthful cities in the Pacific Northwest. And the names of these youthful cities, looking hopefully westward across the highway of thia commerce are Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Astor ia, Bellingham, Everett, Bremerton, Port Angel*, Gray’s Harbor, Aber deen, Hoquiam and Anacortes. They are the pesta of Washington r.r.d Oregon. They are the natural outlets for American trade with the Orient. For they are near* by sev eral days' than the porta ef Seabeard. They are endowed with har bor facilities unparalleled on our At lantic Coast. And the Pacific Northwest, of which they are the commercial capi tals, the states of Washington, Ore- gun. Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, has tremendous industrial resources —half the potential water power of the United States, half its standing timber, billions in foods, metals, coal and oil—to support thia commerce. American industrial enterprise is reaching westward, for in the Pacific Northwest it sees its greatest oppor tunity now!

""" b""rn' The Pacific Northwest was then an almost unbroken wilderness. He has seen it transformed into a land of large and flourishing cities, world porta, great industries and a popu lous, prosperocs countryside. What single lifetime has witnessed greater change? What will Aaolher Lifatias« Bring? Yet the swift upbuilding observed by Ezra Meeker is but a beggining. The Pacific Northwest continues to grow with ever increasing vigor. Consiler the progress of twenty yean; population has more than doub eld; ocean commerce has increased mort than 500 per cent; the number of farms has moor than doubled; the value of manufactured products has increased 800 per cent. And yet, the tremendous natural wealth underlying this developmtnt is as yet hardly scratched. Today the Pacific Northwest still has more than half of the nation’s water power re sources, the largest raetrve of stand ing timber in the United Stat*, mil lions of acres of the worll’e richest farm lands, an almost limitless min eral wealth. The Greater Opportaaity The* two facto—swift growth and vast r*ourcea epoll Opportunity in th« Pacific Northwest. Here ia a future with a brighter promt* h«re ia. • large chance to get ahead. The read to prosperity ia not easy. Here, aa «laewhtre, the words of Chari* M. Schawb hild true: “Real success ia won only by hard, honest, persistent toil.” But it ia certain that in the Pacific North west the rewards of working, plan ning and saving coms more surely, more quickly and more richly. No hotter proof of thia can bo giv en than the prosperity of the people themselves. Aa compared with the rest of the Country, 24 per cent more of thorn are home owners. 15 per cent more own automobiles, their •er capita income is notably higher. In the years their savings deposita wve trebled.—From literature of the C. B. A Q., G. N. and N. F.
