Not only will you get more real immediate value for the dollar»
you spend, but you will gain in future benefits which home-
spent dollars bring to the community in which they are spent.
Did you ever stop to realize that a part of every dollar you spend
with home-town merchants returns to you—if you are a laboring

pay for the products from your farm, and so on throughout all
