Locally Owned and Operated.
Support yourself; studies have shown that when you give business to an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned business, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers, continuing to strengthen the economic base of your community.
Keep your community unique: where you shop, eat and have fun shapes and makes your community the way you like it.
Reduce environmental impact: locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
Create jobs: local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, and provide the most jobs to residents.
Better service: local businesses hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling, and take more time to get to know customers.
Encourage local growth: by supporting local businesses, you help ensure your community preserves their one-of-a-kind businesses and individual character.
Best of all, you can feel good about selling to your neighbors!
A precious metal is a rare, naturally occurring metallic chemical element of high economic value, which is not radioactive (excluding natural polonium, radium, actinium and protactinium).[citation needed] Chemically, the precious metals are less reactive than most elements, have high lustre, are softer or more ductile, and have higher melting points than other metals. Historically, precious metals were important as currency, but are now regarded mainly as investment and industrial commodities. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have an ISO 4217 currency code.
The best-known precious metals are the coinage metals gold and silver. While both have industrial uses, they are better known for their uses in art, jewellery and coinage. Other precious metals include the platinum group metals: ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum, of which platinum is the most widely traded.
The demand for precious metals is driven not only by their practical use, but also by their role as investments and a store of value. Historically, precious metals have commanded much higher prices than common industrial metals. In November 2010, gold reached a price of over $1400.00/troy ounce and silver was about $25.00/troy ounce, compared to copper at $0.11/troy ounce and nickel at $0.36/troy ounce.
