Interested ina recent editorial in the

of puichasiug goods at home instead

Mr. M. r. Irotter, of this city, has
Bubraitud the following with the
following statement:
''Just a little more ammunition
for your 'Buy at Home' Gospel:
"I buy at home:
"Because my interests are here.
"Because the community that is
good enough for me to live in is good
enough for me o buy in.
"Because I believe in transacting
business with my friends.
"Because I want to s .'e the goods.
' Because I want to get what I
buy when I pay for it.
''Because my home dealer carries
me when I ran. short.
"Beoause every dollar I spend at
home stays at home and works for
the welfare ef my community.
"Because the man I buy from
I stands back of the goods.
1 "Because I sell what I produce
here at home.
"Beoause the snaa I bay from pays
his part of the town, oounty and
state taxes.
''Beoanie the snaa I bay from
helps sapport my school, my ohuroh,

"Beoause when ill lack, misfor
