tA0p-aus1l. say my friends. that this
money question is so simple that it NAV
aa understood by az o. YOU. You can
make money either dear or CHEAP bv
-1T. You can make money dear bv
making money scarce; You can make
money zoo cheap By making money to0
plentiful. A dollar is q question of Jaw.
and If you have more dollars than is ne
cazsary 60 keep pace with the demand

purchasing power Great applause.
