The Rolling Dollar laments Scott Valley and Plains Creek reliance on local stores amid poor crops and scarce cash. He argues mail order catalogs drain business, forcing merchants to finance customers and borrow from banks. He warns continued credit dependence risks community collapse.
The piece urges locals to stop sending money out of the community and to trade with home merchants. It calls out self serving merchants who preach benefits of local trade while condemning similar actions in themselves. The author insists that only by practicing what is preached can home trade be truly promoted.
