chases, of necessity be wee bit less,

money win make up for that. And
so our industries will run at top
speed--money will keep moving In
a circle-and prosperity will be
king.
provided. that you and don't
throw wrench into the business ma
chinery by getting cold feet and
holding back ON purchases which we
have the money to make.
IF you and / and all others will
buy as much as we can afford, with
out indulging in wasteful extraya-
gance, business will be good. Let
us all talk normal buying and sell
ing wherever we go-and because
actions speak louder than words. let
us practice normal buying.
