The added income in town from the jobs created allowed for the local prices to fluctuate without dropping as far as they…

Individuals were trying to create a business for themselves in the town by divulging in the idea of a “self-made” man (Man, Lecture Sept. 3). Each individual store and business played a pivotal role in providing for the town.

My home town of Bensenville is not very large with around 18,000 residents. Currently it is one of those small US towns that is going through slow but constant disintegration.
