* What the greatest problem for all
local communities ‘is the. drift . towards
concentration -in, the ‘larger. centres,
The average town of ten thousand. oF
legs, has a goodly per cent of itd busi,
ness made up of concerns, ‘pil of whose
profits go away.’ One ig surprised to
learn just how: large: a-. portion: of ‘the
‘business. of every small: -community. in
this day js in that category... The eom-
munities which support ‘concerns bring-
ing in money from the outside are for-
tunate, © The dollar whicch is kept at
home js a most ‘valuable asset to com-
munity building.)

"Tn ‘this: connection ‘an. ‘interesting
stunt was ‘staged ‘here some monthd
‘ago and illustrated in a most potent
way what the dollar kept at home ‘will
do, A dollar was: started out from: a
Jocal bank and-:was spent by every
business, man in-the business section
of the town, each fellow. buying a dol-
'jax's worth of the next: ‘fellow’ s wares.
When the rounds had been -wiade the
dollar was back dn the - bank’ ‘from
which it started, on: savings deposit,
and. the’ merchandise . which the. dollar

dow was displayed a dollars worth ‘of

“The moral pointed by. the .. ‘tsps |

lost to the ‘cominnin ty forever. . ,
“There ean be argument. as ‘to the. de- |
slrability of: ‘keeping : the dollars’ at
