Film apparently sponsored by local merchants that urges consumers to “buy at home” and support the community. Made in Enterprise, Oregon, by a San Francisco–based producer, the film shows local shops, proprietors and staff, civil servants, and Civilian Conservation Corps workers. As an intertitle reminds, “United we stand, and united we succeed.... Ladies and gentlemen, support wholeheartedly your local merchant.” note: The Library of Congress reports holding a similar film made for Burlingame, California.
