The germ of a splendid idea is developing in
the Middle West. They call it the Get II Done
movement. The label well explains its purpose

do 1t Now"
Kansas City has set to work to Get 1t Done,
now. Immediately, today; not tomorrow, nor
next week, nor next year.
And, the idea being held so highly, Kansas
City Chamber of Commerce passes it along to
other cities where they are getting 1t done, but
where they should be getting this, or that, done
right away If they are to pull themselves out of
the slough of depression.
Get 1t Done is the slogan of a brave man, a
willing worker, one who has come to realize
that sitting round waiting doesn't get him far.
1t doesn't get cities far, either. Nor nations.
Get 1t Done Is sound and solid advice for pub

movement.
