Thank you Salinas
For supporting your locally owned and operated merchants

WHY BUY LOCAL?
For every $1 spent at local businesses, 45¢ is reinvested locally.
Non-local purchases keep, at most, 15¢ in your local community.
Local businesses value, respect and appreciate your patronage.
More tax dollars go to schools and roads in your community.
Promotes diversity in your community.

The economic argument behind buy-local campaigns goes like this: Spending at local businesses, rather than at chain stores or online, helps local economies because those firms are more likely to buy from local suppliers and hire local service providers for needs such as accounting. The jobs that those dollars support stay in the community, rather than going to chains that consolidate their suppliers and back-office functions elsewhere. The profits, too, stay with local owners who spend in the community, rather than going to out-of-state owners or shareholders. Does it work? While the direct effects are hard to measure, several studies point to real benefits for local economies.” Businessweek Feb 2009
