LANSBURGH&BROTfIER
LET BUSINESS ALONE

and the country will be prosper
Gus.
Most business is legitimate-all
successful business must be.
Profitsers should be punished,
but Just because business men make
money they should not be looked
upon with suspicion. You cannot
build a great community or great
nation that way. When business
men are making money they are
buying goods and paying for them.
That gives men and women en-
ployment and puts money into cir
culation.
When business men do not make
money they become banlsrupts; And
the country is filled with bad debts.
That hurts every one.
If you will produce your share
of the things needed, the supply will
begin to meet the demand and
prices will return to normal.
And that's all there is to it.
