Money Makes the Mare Go
A merry wag of a philosopher once remarked: "Money makes the mare go." The same applies to Red Lodge. It is
getting down to first principals when wp look toward the development of our town and community from that standpoint.
And there is no better time than RIGHT NOW for all of us to clearly see this fact and be governed accordingly.
Heavy taxes may swell and make hpalthy the city treasury but unless the citizens also prosper the town cannot grow.
Nor can any group or interests profit at tyie expense of the people and the town thrive.
Money earned at home should be spent at home. Money sent away from home is gone—ultimately to help develop
some other town. Those who earn in Red Lodge and spend it elsewhere are slowly but surely undermining their own
panning powers, their jobs and their own local investments.
Money earned at home and spent at home divides itself into every avenue of our community activity. Business
is better; jobs are more plentiful; salaries are increased; building is resumed; realty values go up; homes are better;
people are happy and the town grows. *
To you who patronize mail order houses, stop and think what would happen to Red Lodge if every one did as you
were doing. There would be no street lights, no pavement or police protection. There would be no stores from which to
get the necessities of life if all of us patronized the solicitor, the peddler and the mail order catalogues. Just stop and think.
Are you treating your town fair when you buy your merchandise away from home?
The house to house solicitor makes about thirty calls a day in fair weather. In inclement weather about twenty
calls a day and they claim to be earning about one hundred dollars per week. You are paying their salary and paying
dearly for it. The merchandise they sell you must be an inferior quality in order for the mail order house to pay them
large commissions.
We can sell you the same class of merchandise for less money. If you think our prices are too high at least give us
a chance to make a comparison of prices and quality. If you have a catalogue bring it to our store. We will fill your order
for less money and guarantee satisfaction or refund your money.
Don't hesitate to come in and talk it over with us.
If you want to make your town grow give us a chance to help you.
There is no better place to live than Red Lodge-Let's make it grow!
