TRUE AMERICAN RING
Chicago Business Man Pays for Advertis-
ing Space to Talk Americanism.

John s. Capper of the firm of Capper
G. Capper. Chicago, has paid for a
large space IN the Chicago Tribune to
talk to the people about the present
strenuous times and advise what should
be done. 1t is such good Americanism
that we are giving 1T to Chronicle
readers. Mr.. Capper says:
We Fiddle And Fiddle While Rome

we eat, wear and use. Stark Hungry!

cry of our worker is-more pay; short

the price of things up another notch;
again the cry more pay; less hours.
Ye Gods Must the vicious circle

is more hours we need, that to reduce
the cost of the things we use, we must
produce not less but more7

Prices had gotten so high in this
country and merchandise so scarce, we
sent two of our firm abroad, hoping to
find what we needed and at lower
prices. The cable message is the
answer! Merchandise is even shorter
on the other side than here. They
have nothing to sell and their shelves
are bare. They want to buy-to buy
from America-to buy the things
Americans make-and the answer of
our workers ls--reduce our horus-44
