Ike paid for it promptly. The ensu-

Manufacturing Prosperity

DO you want to see better times!
Then do your share. If every man
and woman in this county would start
out tomorrow, determined to start
something, hard times would dis
appear in week or two. 1t is
simple matter. Hard times are
caused usually by a shortage OF work
which brings on shortage OF money
At the first alarm everybody takes a
death grip on what money he has,
and he hangs on until the eagle
screams. the Indian yells, the god
dess Of Liberty faints, the buffalo
grunts and Lincoln dies of suffocation.
Nobody buys anything that is not
absolutely necessary. Needed i'm
Drovements are not made, Debts
remain unpaid. The whole COM
munity marks time.
Suppose all of us started out, right
now, to change all this. Suppose we
decided to buy the things we have
been doing without and pay cash for
them? Suppose we look around,
picked out the things that needed
repair. called in the workmen, set
them at their tasks and paid them
their wages on the spot? Remember
not only you would be doing this,
but the ohher fellow as well. He
would be buying from you or hiring
you the money you spend wouio
come back to you somehow. 1t
always does when everyone is work
ing. That S what makes good times.
We do not claim to know all about
economics, but we feel sure that it
we all put our shoulders to the
wheel the so-called hard times will
become pretty soft. It's worth try
ing. Have look around your place
and see if you can't find the job for
some man to do. Put him to work
and pay him. He will spend the
money with the merchants. The
merchants will keep it in circulation
and in time it will return to it's
original source-to you.
