Years ago, when I worked for a newspaper, I would occasionally do a "Shop at Home" tabloid. All my advertisers would run specials in the tab and the customers would get a bargain. The real winner though, was our small town. Local businesses would reap the benefits of the citizens buying in our town and not going to the big city to buy their groceries, hardware, furniture, clothing and everything else.
Car dealers, office supply stores, and restaurants loved these twice a year tabloids. It meant lots of business and the excitement to see what was going to be on sale had people watching and waiting for the day it was printed. It was a large tabloid and many businesses participated. Everyone won!
Today, I think we should go back to this sort of thinking. Let's buy at home! I mean, let's buy American made products! Think of the jobs it would create, if we would stop and think before we buy. Buy the products your neighbors are making. Support the factories in your town, your state, your country by buying American made.
With Memorial Day fresh on our minds, what better way to say I am patriotic. I Love my country! I support my fellow Americans by supporting the businesses that employ Americans and make products here on American soil.
