Entered at the postoffice at Nyssa, Oregon, for transmission through the United States Mails, as a second class matter under the act of March 3, 1879 'It Pays to Buy Where You Live' This week the Journal is carrying a full page ad with the heading, "A Big Slice of Your Dollar Goes to Make Some Community More Prosperous, Yours—or the Other Fellow's." It is the first of a series of 13 in an advertising cam paign sponsored and paid for by the 44 business firms whose names are printed at the bottom of each one of these ads They carry no fancy writing or beautiful art work hut are practical messages resulting from exper iences oi a small town retailer over a 20-year period. They are designed from the practical standpoint, the pocketbook; and are not based on “trade with your neigh bor, hometown loyalty, or community pride” so often used. eW think each carries thoughts that will make us STOP and THINK why it PAYS in many way to SHOP at HOME. And we might add that the message could well be learned and practiced, first, by merchants of Nyssa. They are the result of thinking and discussions along several different lines. First, 10 local merchants carried three half-page ads on protecting our investment in our own community, during the month of August; second, a chamber of commerce discussion on possible effects to Nyssa of Judge G. Y. Chester’s “Ten-Year Plan” to make a state highway out of Lytle boulevard and by pass our town; and third, a realization that the farm population of the county is decreasing and that each year the onion, potato, and sugar beet industry is be coming more mechanized and fewer migrant laborers will be here spending a large part of their wages. As a result of all this, and that Amalgamated plans to shorten their campaign time, the chamber decided it was time to begin trying to keep the amount of trade we now have. It was not at all difficult to sell the 44 merchants to support this “It Pays to Buy Where You Live Campaign.” Many of them were sold by telephone and the others needed only an explanation. The 44 were sold with only 47 calls. And because a firm’s name is not on this list does not mean that it is not behind the program but more than likely that it was not called on to support the pro gram. These businessmen can read the advertisements carefully and help to sell others on the benefits. e believe this is the first step of our “Trade at Home” Erogram and that we must carry out the other two to ecome truly effective. We must learn the reasons WHY we are losing trade to other towns and then take neces sary steps to remove as many of the causes as possible. Kinda like a doctor—first comes the diagnosis, then a determination of the cause, and last the operation or treatment. If we will all pull together instead of saying why don’t THEY do something about it, we can and will whip this or any other problem that may face us.
