DELTA HERALD-TIMES The Only Newspaper Adequately Coreylug- Southern York County, Pennsylvania and Northern Harford County, Maryland NO. 1 DFXTA, YORK COUNTY, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1932 1 INDEPENDENT WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1878 Like Charity Begins At Hoine A group of progressive business men of this and nearby communities start in' this -week's issue of HjGRALD-TIMES a campaign deeign- ed to aid in the development of the home market for home products. Far too much has already been said about bringing back prosperity. There is a certain, amount of prosperity Tight here about us if we can but develop It and share it. Briefly, here is what this campaign means; The business men, and business organizations listed on wag-e feel that a more loyal support Jy the people of Harford and Tork counties of the Industries "within, those counties will mean better business and better times for all tlie people those counties.

For example, the Morris Manufacturing Company, at Fawn Grove, is making- every day articles of wearing apparel. Suppose members of your family would think of the Morris Manufacturing Company when they enter a store to buy an. article similar to that made in. Fawn. Grove.

If you buy a Morris-made garment the money goes to Fawn Grove, It helps to pay the salary ot- an. operator who lives nearby. That money goes into the Fawn Grove Bank, or one of the Delta banks, and is spent and i-espent the territory surrounding us. If you buy a 1 garment that is made New York or in, the South, the money you pay goes to where that garment was made. It is possible that some economists will Jsay that this theory is wrong.

But, WE THINK that such support of our local institutions is a mighty good idea. We think that prosperity in Yorte Northern Stafford counties is very important just now. If this campaign gets its message over to the people in this and' nearby communities, we think it will do inestimable good. CAST TOT! BEAT THIS? J. S.
