I WHY IT WILL PAY YOU TO TRADE IN DECATUR A town or community is very much like an individual, for as the various individuals in the community are. so is the community itself. A man who is Interesting, willing to work and able to apply some mentality to his efforts, is the one who will win in the final analysis. Every bit of energy and every dollar you invest in Decatur will find its way back to you sooner or later, for a prosperous citywill promote prosperity in ifs citizens. And YOU, as an individual, dear reader, can help promote the prosperity of Decatur and incidentlyyour own prosperity by spending just as many good old American dollars here as you possibly can. And if you will stop and reason for a while before you make a purchase you will be surprised to find that 99 2-3% of* what you buy can be purchased right here. Too many people of today are “penny wise and pound foolish.” Read that line agatn. please. Do you kiiow what we mean? How many times have you been inveigled into buying something thru the mails at an apparent saving of a few cents, only to find that when it arrived after the usual waiting, that jtowas not just what you expected and then again the freight, tna'l or express, drayage, etc., had really made it cost more than you would have had to pay right here in Decatur where you could have made your selection in person and from the actual goods themselves, and in the majority of cases, at an i.ctual cash saving. But you didn’t do that at the time, so your money was J ent out of Decatur to help swell the prosperity of some other community instead of your own. Your merchant is loyal to you. He proves that every day nearly when he subscribes funds to this and that to help make Decatur a belter place in which to live. Are you, dear reader, doing your share, or are you ,one of the ones who was shirking? This series of articles has been prepared to help you to help yourself, and we want each and every nrnii. woman and child to read them carefully each week that they appear. If you will do this and tell all of your friends to read them also, you will find in a short time a greater prosperity in Decatur is dawning for us all. All we need to do is to boost a little. Are you a booster? Suppose we define "A Booster’’ and let’s see how many of us really are one. "A Booster is a citizen who talks as strong for his town when he is at home as he does when he is a thousand miles away. “A Booster is a man who is wise enough to know that by helping his' community he is helping himself and acts on that knowledge. ‘ A Booster is a man who contributes to the religious, educational, social, charitable 'and commercial undertakings of his city in proportion to his means. “A Booster is a man who will let the ‘WE’ spirit dominate his actions and will work in harmony with, his fellow citizens, for the community betterment. “A Booster is a man w’ho helps to keep his city clean morally and physically. “A Booster is a man willing to serve. “A Booster is cautious in his crit.cism of others willing to serve. "A Booster is a man who believes in his fellow citizens and believes that his home town is the best place . in the whole wide world. • Let’s all get together ans put our shoulders to yie wheel. Let’s both pull and push for Decatur at every opportunity. Each week we ar e going to publish in this column something of vital interest to every resident of this community. Watch for them and read them carefully. Then 1 act!
