THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER
Winning Essays On "Why It Is
Good Business to Trade at Home
By Miss Mary E. Webster

To keep money in circulation within
one's own community is a sure way
to keep the minds of the people in a
healthful condition. Not only do the
minds of the people need to be kept
busy but they must also have ma
terial for their social, physical and
spiritual growth. It is through the
co-operation of the residents of Way
nesville with the merchants that such
a medium may be found. We would
not expect a stranger to do as much
for us as a close friend, so we cannot
expect a merchant in Canton or Ashe
ville to be as interested in giving us
the very best quality for the least
amount of. money. "Charity Begins
at Home," and the same rule applies
to our buying. If we would have
people know we are interested in
material or international affairs we
must first prove to them what we
can do at home. Trade at home to
speed up work in all fields of indus
try within the community and so have
peace and contentment among people.
For a prosperous community we need
to raise the value of real estate, keep
our streets in good condition, and
above all, give our undivided atten
tion to the building ur of our com
munity. To iome degree, be it large
or small, each of us is dependent upon
tile other for our livelihood. No one
ever lived to himself. We get back
from our local people just what we
give them. If we hope to have s
thriving community we must give it
-ur support. Our merchants are our
leaders in local business. They need
our support to carry out the desires
of the people. Give our merchants a
chance to prove to you that they are
truly , gentlemen.
Question: What, is the best nivthod
for curing meat?
Answer: There are two principal
methods advocated in .North Carolina
the brine cure and: the dry salt
cured, cither of which is satisfac
tory. Common salt is the basis of
all meat curing and in either method
Js the predominant factor. In both
Kures sugar is sometimes used to
give the meat a better flavor and to
counteract the action: of the salt by
keeping the muscles soft, where salt
alone makes them hard. Formulas for
both the brine cure and the dry salt

There are many advantages in trad
ing at home. One of the foremost is
the fact that, although you seemingly
arc giving aid to your merchant, in
reality the value of the trade returns
to you, your home, scnooi, and church.
You say you can order your goods
at a mail order house with a price re-
ductin. But think! Can you? There
may be a few cents difference but
even so, your postage charge will then
exceed the tost of the home bought
merchandise.
The mail order often deceives you.
A bright colored page and vivid des.
cription will entice you, but sometimes
the goods don't measure to your stand
ard. There may be a misfit, niisorder,
a clerk's mistake, or even a damage
in the mail.
At a local place of business you see
the article, know its quantity and
quality. Buy then if you choo.se, and
go your way satisfied.
Why then should you not trade at
home? The goods to be found in our
community are as worthy and in some
cases more so than those purchased
elsewhere. They certainly are as
reasonably priced and if not, it is that
your patronage of other localities
stores have rendered it necessary for
our merchants to try to make a pro
fit. Then too you will find the article
you desire or an obliging clerk who
willingly orders at your convenience.
You ask w'hv not buv from the ped
dlers who come daily to your door. If
encouragement is givc-.i them, they be
come a nuisance. Their goods are
questionable and from unreliable firms.
If their goods do not satisfy, you can
not get changes or refunds as you can
from a local denier.
Consider your civic loyalty. Buying
merchandise at home promotes coop
eration and good will between you and
your townspeople. It elevates the
town business and makes thriving in
dustries which bring about jobs and
work with less unemployment, a rais
ed standard of living, and more popu
lation. ;
