The monthing upset the near-balance jcern has.nearly 50 separate enterBy ELMER STEVENS “The system of small, local business is the just, generous and Prosperous system which keeps the way open to all; gives hope to all and conserves the improvement of conditions of all”. Thus spoke Abraham Lincolh of the free market indicating that that home industries operated on a paying basis form the very greatness of America. If they don’t thrive, the community suffers— suffers in loss of taxes and support for local community enterprises. A community operated by home industries is a source of pride and prosperity; money kept at heme means better homes, schools, libraries ,parks and a lower tax burden for the individuals in the communty. What benefits one, benefits all. Yet, there are hundreds of communities ruined by the shortsightedness of their inhabitants who take wealth out of the community in buying out of town. Their schools and churches are running down; their streets need repair, many stores are closed, others barely make a living simply ‘because their residents though they “were saving by buying out of town.” Buying from large centers— out of town large concerns—is adding fuel to America’s No. 1 economic problem—centralization of power in the hands of a few— Unless a return to decentralization is realized American private enterprise and democracy is doomed! Local, small business is going out too fast. During the past year 103 big companies absorbed 380 smaller competitors in the food business alone. One big dairy con‘prises and ‘sits astridé as much . as 60 per cent of the dairy business in several of our large centers. This whole tendency is dangerous and buying out of town is dangerous.
