with thousands of new operatives.
1t would mean the purchase of new
machinery by the manufacturers,
who would have to call upon the
steel mills for their product, and the
latter would send in a hurry call to
the ore mines. And all these diff
ferent orders would be reflected in
additions to the crews on the rail-
roads which would be called upon to
transport the various items.
So it can easily be seen that the
return of prosperity is cup to" the
everyday citizen who is holding
back from buying needed articles be-
cause he is afraid of the future. If
the men with available cash will be-
gin to build, and the men who are
working will buy what they need,
prosperity simply can't be kept away.
Let's get this fear out of our hearts
Jump in and set the wheels of in
dustry to humming again. A great
truth came out of Wall street one
time when a speculator said no man
could be a "bear" on America and
keep from going broke. Prosperity
has to oome-it can't be kept away
So why not bow to the inevitable and
help it along?

Have
Prosperity

ALL OF US want to see good times
return when the worker will be en-
ployed at fair wages, the merchant
doing business at a reasonable profit,
and the factories running at maxi
mum capacity.
An all of us-everyone of us-can
help bring about this condition.
The first thing to do is to squarely
face the facts and, above all, let's try
not to deceive ourselves.
All the financial, economic CT
political preventives in the world
could not have checked the present
depression. The people made up
their minds it was coming-and it
came. AS soon as the people make
up their minds it has run it's course
it will end. In other words, depres
sions are psychological; mass fear
brings them on; mass confidence ends
them.
Laying aside all the incidental de-
tails, the big thing to do is to bring
about mass confidence, and there GER
tainly is plenty of material at hand
with which to do this.
More than 100000 homes are
needed-and badly needed-RIGHT
NOW. This does not include factories
and business houses. These buildings
simply MUST be erected sooner or
later, and an additional demand is
accumulating while their erection is
being delayed. This means that the
cost of building probably will be much
higher in the future than it is now.
Just as soon as a few far-sighted
men in each community shake off the
fear that grips them and begin to
build, others will become more conf
dent and trail along. Thus will pros
perity be restored to the building in
dustry, and it will be a good many
years before there will be let-up
In other lines of endeavor, from
digging bitches to running railroads,
the return of prosperity depends upon
the everyday buyer of ordinary
merchandise. In order to illustrate,
suppose we put it this way:
In every community there are sew
eral hundred men who need new
suits, but are delaying buying because
they are afraid of the future and
want to keep every cent they have;
they also hope that prices will go
lower.
When these several hundred men
in each community are combined, it
means several million for the entire
country.
There is very little likelihood of the
price of clothing going to lower
level. Present indications are that
it will go higher. Suppose these mil
lions of men who actually need suits
buy this week. 1t would mean in
creased business in the stores, with
more clerks employed. 1t would

CREDIT BUREAU
BEING INSTALLED
BrattIeboro and Surrounding Towns TO
BE Covered, With Card Index In
Charge of o. b. Hughes.

The Merchants Credit Co, Inc, of
Boston, an organization of specialists IN
credit reporting work, is establishing a
complete and modern credit reporting bu-
reau in Attorney o. B. Hughes's office
in the Barber building. covering Brattle-
bOro and all the surrounding towns.
Howard NJ. Davis, their representa-
tive, is now in town arranging the pre-
liminaries incident to the work. The
plan gives the merchants a highly spe-
cialized system which Is similar to that
followed by nearly 100 cities and towns
in New England and to which the Mer-
chants Credit co. is adding new cities
as rapidly as possible.
A complete card index record is in
stalled, IN charge of Mr.. Hughes, allow
ing the merchants to obtain information
direct by telephone and brings the credit
standing of every individual up to the
minute at all times. Their plans include
collection department to supplement
the reporting work, which is furnished
free of charge to the subscribers, and
results in other cities have proven that
thousands of dollars have been returned
to the merchants with no cost whatever.
which otherwise would have been lost.
In the preliminary canvass they have
already secured the active support OF
many representative business concerns.
The Boston company announces that
1t follows a policy of constructive prop
uganda. rather than destructive criti-
ciSm, which is a departure from the gen
erai idea of conducting a credit bureau.
1t conducts its work on the well estab-
lished fact that by far the greater per-
,centage of the population of every COM
immunity is not only honest, but desires
to transact business with tradesmen on
business principles. The company has
demonstrated to its entire satisfaction
that when its people learn that in run
ming charge account at store they are
merely borrowing portion of the mer-
chants capital for n stipulated period,
lust as if they were borrowing money
from their bankers. they are generally
surprised at first. but the logic of it is
so plain that a new conception of their
obligations to the firms who extend this
couptesy and convenience is nearly al
ways the result.
That the credit reporting bureau has
the full support of the best business in
terests of the town is assured, and that
the company installing it will exert itself
to the utmost to Justify the permanent
confidence and support of its members is
affirmed by its representative.
