Wishing Everyone a Safe and Happy Holiday! A s we wrap up 2014, we want to encourage all of our readers to shop local for the holiday season. Shopping local insures money goes directly back into your community. Shopping at smaller retailers benefits your community more than you may know. When you spend $100 at a local store, $45 of those dollars stay in your community but when you spend $100 at a multinational store only $13 of those dollars stay in your economy. And what’s more, if you want local choice, you have to support these stores or they won’t last. While up front, your costs may be a bit more, supporting your local economy means more jobs, more choice, and the opportunity to support the ideals that you find important with your dollars.* Thank you, Gordon and Casey Grantham Gordon Grantham Publisher [email protected] [phone] Casey Grantham Editor [email protected] [phone] Misty Voitovski Creative Director [email protected] *Sources: www.treehuggher.com Arizona in the Saddle Magazine (azinthesaddle.com) is owned and published by Arizona in the Saddle Magazine, LLC.
