Perhaps it is because your parents lived here before you and you never thought to move. More likely it is because you saw a chance to invest to good advantage here, or earn a good living, or establish yourself at a moderate expense where your family and yourself could have all the advantages of a live community. You found desirable churches, schools and’business interests. Yon realized that Exeter was a progressive community and -a de­ sirable place in which to live. » Certainly you would not live here if you thought that you and .your family would be much better off somewhere else. If you did you would be foolish, for your first duty is towards your family. Exeter has progressed in the past because the merchants of the town and other civic enterprises have received the support'of the residents. On the continuance of this patronage depends the future success’of the community. If the merchants are not supported they will retire from business and your money which should go to build­ ing up the town will go to other cities to place them in front of- Exeter. However, this is impossible if local residents buy their goods at home. You have confidence in your town, else you would not be living here. You believe that the town will advance. Dp your bit by buying in Exeter. Keep your dollars at home. They minimize your taxes and increase’ the value of your personal investments. Buy in Exeter.
