HAT DOES your town need in the way of “serv¬ ices”— such as laundry and dry cleaner, bakery, shoe repair, restaurant, etc.? Where do you — and others in your community — go when you want your watch repaired, shoes soled, clothes cleaned, other things? Service shops provide jobs ami income, just as small industries do! Service shops keep the money circu¬ lating in town, and everybody benefits . . . for when folks can find there the things they want to buy, they won’t go to the big cities to do their chopping. So check over your community — see if it has suf¬ ficient local shops for its sb:e and needs — help and encourage ambitious young men or women to start in businesses that will benefit the whole community (and themselves!)
