Figures...A little grist for the conversation mill. <BR/><BR/>Figures shown by a UI economist at the Buy Local kickoff show (I'm approximating, I don't recall the precise figure) that $1 spent at a locally owned and operated store puts about $1.25 into the economy. That same dollar spent at a local chain store puts $1.15 into the local economy.<BR/><BR/>As the economist pointed out-both are excellent investments in the local economy. What really needs to be fought is retail leakage out of the area. And, what needs to be encouraged is bringing in people to shop from outside the area (ala tourism, etc). Or, bringing in nonretail businesses that create wealth (Such as manufacturing, tech, etc), rather then recirculating the money that is already here.<BR/><BR/>If you really want to hear more, the kickoff was recorded and can be heard at the KRFP/Radio Free Moscow website.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/>Darrell Keim<BR/>Executive Director<BR/>Moscow Chamber of Commercekeimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922197749121598483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-2767170061623417492007-09-25T15:01:00.000-07:002007-09-25T15:01:00.000-07:00I should tell you about my experience in Tri-State...I should tell you about my experience in Tri-State...

Thanks though!<BR/><BR/>Mattwi -<BR/> <BR/>Thanks! I'll check those out. I don't use up too much ammo from one season to the next, but my newly hunter safety certified roommate and I do plan on doing lots of bird hunting this season. Maybe I'll need bulk shipments of 12 gauge shells. :)Paul E.

I use to order the ammo online from Wolf Ammo but a co-worker here buys bulk and I would tack on my order to his for a discount. Sometimes you can buy bulk ammo at some of the gun shows.<BR/>I know two places in Colfax that sells ammo but they do not have a lot of it - Ace Hardware and Colfax Grange.Satanic Mechanichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222551578840670157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-63113283563891371282007-09-25T08:26:00.000-07:002007-09-25T08:26:00.000-07:00April, wouldn't that be elitist?April, wouldn't that be elitist?Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04884645586554976389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13796804.post-89070656954328180162007-09-24T21:40:00.000-07:002007-09-24T21:40:00.000-07:00If there is a place, please let me know.
