ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART TO
MAKE THIS A DESERTED TOWN?
HAT if this pleasant home town of
ours became a ucscrteel village'
The folks who semi their dollars
to other towns and cities to buy their
needs and their luxuries can tell yon
just how to make this a "Deserted
Village." The trick can be done by
everybody following the example of
the few and buying elsewhere.
Then there would be no money to
pay people who work. There would
be no money at all to buy farm
produce; no monfey for fire and po
lice protection; no money'to keen up
homes ; no money to hold people in
this town at all. And so your prop
erty and home and job would have
little value.
Trade at home. Every dollar spent
i.oi-n tilr tr make livlntr in Vour
town better and pleasanter; every dollar'spent at home helps
to make the thing you own more valuable. f
