A desirable cltlsen possesses the characteristics of loving his own com munity and is wiling and anxious If necessary to make personal sacrifices for the good of the same. Many years ago a man who made his living In my town made this statement which Im pressed Itself indelibly on my mind "I can hardly wait tor the eight months that I am staying In this place to pass by. I have no interest here except the salary I am drawing at the end of the month." This statement pictures the type of person that he Was To my mind nothing la more despicable than to injure by word or act the bridge that furnishes you op portunity to cross the turbulant stream. There Is a civic duty, and to a good cltlsen should be deemed a pi Ivilegs, that every individual owes to his community, the practice of buy tng and sellng at some. There are many ways In which this Is of vital lm portance to the best Interest ofany community. I shall attempt to point lout these ways. * .tv ! The prosperity in any community and therefore Its economic lndepen 'dence Is largely determined by the 'amount of patronage bU3l"e89f?ter~ I orises receive from Its Inhabitants. ' Every hundred dollars that we spend at home makes U possible tor our 'community to be that much more, tn 1 dependent and prosperous^ Every hundred dollars we spend away from 'our communities weakens e'?e 'nomlc prosperity. He V how this effects each individual eitn W directly or Indirectly because no will denv that the prosperity and happiness of an indWdnal djsjends upon the prosperity and Possibility w-PP?^ ^rmoi^t'homwit-there fore comes back to us fore comes oaca iu directly in making our Tk?m"^n prosperous and happy. ?OT1t?rs by add strength IP our home, centers by dolng ouf trading and shopping s! home and not build ~ community at. the saeriOceofour own. Recently there has bMn?un ed in my home town a new interprise bakery, and yet I have heard it sa d that this interprlse is having tr?ub In attempting to exist because of fact that so many of onr PC?P'e wi nAt ta*e tte trouble to call for tne Louisburg bread altho It Is j119'. 99 ^Ud^rougMta eve^'lar Bf I " V"-E.1* s itistst Otf-treiw bullet" thst ?j1 n id? in some otber place, when n matter of fact if all the consumers in our community would use the, but j ter manufactured tore ^ would . t^l^TrtTSrice of thls(^uae[ could be reduced at least one-thlrd Good roads have mesnt a ' to our county and state but theJfc9J? tended to make us forgetsomeofthe civic duties that we owe to our horn community as citizens. Let ui e?u mate what It would ???J'n dollaxs and cents to our community If all th money that was spent fv'9 ,n3t?dl ] clothing was spent at home lnsteuai ( of abroad As suggeeted above this increase In volume of business at I . home would enable all business con cerns to give a lower sale price and j at range a situation in which they could be of more real service to the 1 Individual and community There Is also a responsibility thatlj the business Arms have In this nomlc prosperity as well as the P"**! chaser or buyer. He must be satis. | fled with a legitimate profit and make , It impossible for the buyer to f? ( or know that he Is paying h<s goods at home than he could else-1 j wt?e He must realise the fact that a satisfied customer Is one of the < greatest assets to his business and he must always put forth every effPrt t?| . .. aiiv? within him the t bought 1 , CtP he l. Willing "to live and let ( live". If we could thus ?ro"'* ? onerstlve and community spirit De-i tween the buyer and the '.community would grow and develop by leaps and bounds not on r In a j fluancial or economic way but In the I. deep and more spiritual things which 1I After all Is the greatest secret of alllj happiness and Joy. If | One of the greatest setbacks to tho progress of a community Is the chain store. Some people confuse the chatn store and the cooperative store altbo .they are entirely different. A cooper ative store Is controlled by a body of 'men from the community who hare gone Into business together. All that they make stays In the community ar.d benefits it. The chatn store Is 'owned and controlled by outside firm. "the money taken In each day |does not remain In the local hank any longer titan It takes a shock to go to the central bank In some dle Itant city. I heard a woman make this remark not Ting ago concerning 'a chain stoie, "I buy all my groceries (there because It 1* so much cheaper". .1 asked myself this question. "Doe# ,that bold true In the long rnn?" and i "No" wae my answer. Of course we |may save five cents or more on a can 'of beans by buying from a chain store, but the money that we pay for that lean of beans goes not In onr commun ity but elsewhdri td help some other .town prosper.- When we buy from one of these stores we cannot say l"cl arge It" or "send this up". We .pay cash and probably sometimes our (goods may be carried oot to our car ? If we are fortunate enough to have (one. but If sot the burden Is on ns to (csrry the packages home. On tho ^tber hand If we trade with our local merchants onr accounts are carried (certainly to the end of the month and .the goods delivered to our pantry jdoora. And last but most Important .the money we pay the home mere (chants stays in the hosn* community and thereby helps It prosper.
