Build the Idaho Economy: BUY IDAHO

 

If the 1.5 million people in Idaho, all spent just $100 more with Idaho companies this year, instead of an out of state company:That would be $150,000,000 more spent into the Idaho economy this year.

Imagine the effect of another $150,000,000 in new jobs, capitol improvement, re-investment in Idaho families and new equipment to build Idaho business, industry, education and agriculture.

Sales tax at 6% would be $9,000,000 increased funding for education, health & welfare, parks, transportation, law enforcement, and the many services that make Idaho a better place to live and raise families.

Plus, the taxes Idaho companies pay on the $150,000,000 in additional sales; the wages they pay people, the workers compensation, health care, added jobs and the individual taxes the employees will pay into the Idaho economy. With additional income, families will enjoy a higher standard of living.

Every dollar spent in Idaho, may be spent over again and again in the Idaho economy. Yes, it does matter! Buy Idaho Products and Services from Idaho companies when you can.Join Buy Idaho; find a listing of Buy Idaho members, and learn more at www.buyidaho.org.

Royce Garner is this Week's Buy Idaho Member of the Week at KIDO 580 AM

This week's guest on KIDO Radio is Royce Garner, the creator of Toe Juice. In 1970 Royce Garner, a high school chemistry teacher in Boise, Idaho, produced his first batch of Toe Juice. His endeavor began when his infant son had flaking, dry, cracked feet.

The many lotions, creams, and medicines were ineffective in solving the problem. So Royce did some research, went to his lab, and came out with a revolutionary new product. Not only did it fix and prevent further complications with his son’s feet, but over the next 37 years many friends, family, and acquaintances have benefited from the strength of Royce’s Toe Juice.

Toe Juice is a fast drying liquid, which refreshes, soothes, and softens dry cracked feet, in addition to stop itching, burning, and annoying irritations. Toe Juice effectively treats most skin problems in just a few treatments.

Every second and fourth Wednesday at 8:55 a.m. KIDO Radio hosts Dave Burnett and Bryon Norton interview a Buy Idaho member about their business. The interview is an informal question and answer session about the member's business, the products or services they provide contact information, such as address, phone numbers and web site address. The interview is designed to help Buy Idaho members sell more.
