BUY IT NOW IS new
SLOGAN OF CAMPAIGN
Suggestion Tends to Insure
Quick Return of Pros
perity to Clarksburg.

| The buy In Clarksburg campaign
IL proving 30 very effective. and the
results SO easily noticeable tl,at an
other suggestion has been made that
becomes twin slogan with the one
OF the successful campaign-it Is the
slogan OF buy II now! Buy II now
is but II slight variation OF tho oft
repeated suggestion OF do II now,
and both are good suggestions, good
advice to follow.
The suggestion behind the slogan
OF buy II now IL merely one that
tends 10 insure the continual cir
culatlon OF money. by buying 1t now
tho purchaser puts into circulation
whatever money he may spend for
that article that he needs or desires.
That money does not remain locked
up in the Clarksburg stores. but It
1t paid out In wages and for addi-
tional stocks and supplies. Eventu-
ally II gets right back to the original
spender. and Ia once more started on
Its rounds OF creating and maintain
ing prosperity.
With the outbreak OF the Euro
pean war and the handicap thereby
placed upon industries, tendency
to retrench developed. AS the war
progressed and other lines OF BUSH
ness became affected by the general
trend of outstanding resources and
curtaillng expenditures at every an
gle. the wage Garner became unable
10 make the same salaries as pre-
yiously demanded. or was out OF en-
ployment entirely. Those who con-
tinued to earn their daily stipend.
or those who succeeded in keeping
even a slight margin on the right
side OF the ledger. have 1t in their
power to restore to material extent
much Of the wanted prosperity Of the
country. ~
By buying In Clarksburg and buy
Ing 1t now. II Ia pointed out, many
OF the former wage earners may be
afforded an opportunity to return to
the ranks Of the employed and once
more become active wage earners.
Then. too. It is stated that men who
propose to make repairs or erect
new buildings and who are holding
of or delaying this work. will be
enheartened to push this work, there
BY employing even additional labor
ers and artisans besides patronizing
the merchants and supply houses Of
the city for the needed material.
All Of this desirable resumption
Of activity. 1t is pointed out. would
materially. increase the number or
people earning wages and salaries,
and empower more families to en-
ter the fields of buyers. and that
they, buying ut home and buying
IL now. would quickly reduce the
ranks OF the unemployed to the
absolute minimum, leaving only the
professional fdler, who IS chronf-
caliy opposed to work.
The idea is an excellent one and
tends to bring home to each indiyi-
dual his or her share OF the respon-
sibility OF bringing back real and
spontaneous prosperity. Buy in
Clarksburg and buy II now are twin
slogans that are well worth cultivat-
ing. twin slogans Of the same cam

Buy in .CIarksburg Campaign
Develops Spirit of Co-0pera-
ton in Wide Territory.
PROFIT IN FARM WASTE
II Handled in Systematic Man.
ner BY Central Agency and
Turned Into Cash.

With the buy in Clarksburg cam
Ipaign proving so successful for the
Clarksburg merchants and the
Clarksburg buyers, as 1t tends to
arouse the patriotism and civic pride
OF all classes OF citizenship, many
new angles are being developed from
this fundamental suggestion.
One Of the prominent Clarksburg
merchants on Monday afternoon Of
fered a brand new suggestion along
this line, and candidly admitted that
his mind was called to the idea
through the persistency Of the buy
in 'Clarksburg campaign and the
splendid successes therefrom that
have come under his personal obser-
walton. In discussing the campaign
itself and the results being obtain
ed, this merchant called attention
to the fact that Clarksburg mer-
chants and business men in smaller
] places are turning their attention to
West Virginia wholesalers. consid-
cradle preference being shown to
Clarksburg dealers of this class.
AS result of the buy in Clarks-
burg campaign waged by the Tele-
gram, which has proved and Is prov
ling Of material benefit to the mer-
chants and the individual buyers"
said this merchant, 1.-The minds Of
all loyal Clarksburgers are more
closely inquirlng as to how all classes
may be directly benefited. Person
ally. new idea has come to me that
i believe would result in material
teneft to the individual residents
OF the city as we'll as direct bene-
fit to the small farmer and pro-
duce raiser.
To Turn Farm Waste Into Source Of
Profit.
"On every farm Oh this character
there is. OF a necessity, considerable
waste. This waste Is not wanton,
but the production. perhaps may ex-
coed the actual needs or farmer
himself and the members OF his fam
lily. Under present conditions, the
thought has come to me, that much
of this waste is an actual loss to the
farmer. The excess of his individual
production may not be, and likely Is
not sufficient to warrant his bring
ing 1t to town each day for sale.
hence when the accumulation may
become of such proportions that NAL
or portion has become 'unusable for
any purpose.
Particularly. refer to milk. but
ter and eggs. believe that every
former and produce raiser has a
more or less excess of output daily.
Suppose this excess should amount
to only one gallon of milk daily. or
a pound Of butter or couple Of
dozen OF eggs. Neither OF these
excess items, nor all combined,
would warrant a farmer bringing to
town to, peddle. Hence. In the. course
Of time all Of this excess would de-
velop Into an actual loss: Indivi-
dually this loss may be more baga-
telle, yet in the course Of i 4 month

contact and sympathy. He strongly
believed in the underlying idea OF
the buy in Clarksburg movement
and has fosnd from his own per-
sonal experience that the objects de-
Sired at the outset have been attain
ed in large measure.
Approaching what the buy IN
Clarksburg campaign las done and is
doing for ClarksDurg merchants,
business men and people in general, .
said this merchant In discussing
general trade conditions. II find that
the spirit of the idea has taken
strong hold of merchants in the re-
tail line who are in the Clarksburg
trading territory. These merchants
are turning more generally toward
the wholesale houses OF Clarksburg
and my correspondence files contain
a number OF letters In this connec-
ton.
Some OF these merchants, In writ
ing here for quotations and trade
agreements. candidly tell me they
have been trading with Wholesale
dealers in other states and cities.
The buy in Clarksburg spirit has
reached them to such an extent that
they say they prefer to deal with
Clarksburg wholesalers in the fu-
ture. Some OF these letters as q
result of this far-reaching campaign
have resulted in some highly salts
factory new accounts for myself, and
others will eyentuate the. same way,
either to my own firm or to some
other Clarksburg firm that handles
such goods as are not In my own
line.
This development came 40 q
pleasant surprise to me. I assure you,
for although I. believe strongly in
the community cooperation suggest
ed and urged In the buy In Cierks-
burg campaign. j had not foreseen
the possibility of the strength Of the
Ifar-reachihg effect. =. Z 4 \; 4 I.

or a year, when totalled, 1t Is quite
an Item for each Individual farmer.
1T occurs to me, IL it were pos
sible to arrange some way in which
this excess at each little farm could
be gathered up daily by some CEN
trail agency, for the want OF a better
name. and brought to town. 1t is
my opinion that much OF the problem
of the high cost of living will have
been solved. 1t will provide another
source Of income to the farmer and
produce raiser. and afford the indi-
yidual buyers Of the city and sub
urbs wider and more varied market
in which to purchase.
This is not an original idea with
myself. Some years ago I happened
to be in a section OF Ohio where
there were located several cheese
factories. In that vicinity i learned
that every little excess OF the dairy
nan was taken care Of In this way.
a regular system Of collection being
maintained, even though the excess
amounted to not more than one gal
Ion OF milk daily. AS the collector
came around and took up the excess
in this case milk, only, ticket was
left by him for the amount. Weekly
or monthly. just as the producer
found convenient, he went to the city
and csshed in his tickets. Numerous
men in that part of Ohio told me
their profits from this excess pro-
duction proved quite surprising

general idea that has occurred to
me in connection with the excess
