hustling with all their might TO get

THE FALSE ECONOMY

The greatest thing that the unu-
sual time we are now living in has
! brought out is courage not mere
physical bravado. but a high moral
/ conception OF the situation that con-
fronts the country. 1t is this courage
that begets confidence not only in our
selves but inspires others. And con-
tidence is one of the basic principles
o. business. What everyone needs 20
. do is to cultivate the courage TO pur-
sue the even tenor of the ways We
! have been used in feeding ourselves
aud in buying within our means rs
we have been accustomed 10 do. To
maintain our courage we must keep
Zip our apparel. If we stop buying as
usual we shall be stopping business.
aud that means the stopping of the
employment Of others. resulting in the
curtailment Of production and the
weakening of the purchasing power.
The usual volume of business in
every branch of industry and employ
m.1lt must be maintained if we are 20
20 through this war without coming
10 disaster Some ill-advised persons
are mistaking the call TO economy by
pledging themselves 10 refrain from
new clothes. 1t is clear 10 see where
SNch practice would lead us TO. Stop
! wasting, but don't stop spending. In
times OF national stress it is not well
for any class OF people-men or
woman. to indulge in eXtravagances,
but for the people who have money
to spend. to cease spending it. must
always work for the hardship and suf-
fering Of those whose livelihood de-
ponds on the consumption of. commod-
ties, other than the bare necessities
of life.
4 very large percentage of girls aud
women are engaged in the manufac-
turing and selling Of women's apparel.
; and with. father, brother, husband or
son, called to their countrys aid. on
these women will fall still heavier re-
Sponsibilitics than those they have
previously carried. Deprived Of their
means Of livelihood by an hysterlcal
and illogical movement, and thrown
on the mercy OF the charitable, will
Bring grief and suffering TO these self
respecting and important members of
our. industrial community.
