cash took fright some wseks ago and

communities have been unable to 1nd
cash enough to carry on their regular
lines Of business. Some factories have
Aadrte shut dswn, Others have reduced
their working force. and those sill
running ut full tilt have had to pay
their hands In scrip, certificates and

"Of course" concluded the town

what about the clerks in your own
