Over time, our town leaders have made sure that everyone in Orting feels the same dignity and care, by providing the following services, which are rare in such a small town :

 

Traditional Services:   

Bartering

The exchange of one man's (or woman's) work for another man's work  (e.g., plumbing work for chickens & eggs) does the following:

1.  Strengthens ties between man and man, family and family, and community

2.  Allows a family to conserve whatever monetary capital it has

3.  Avoids the need to go to the givers of credit to pay for a service
