DOLLAR BEATING IT'S WAY BACK

The old silver dollar is beating it's way back.
1t went far afield during the piping times OF
war and a lot of it's luster faded under the spell
of extravaganza living but it is getting to be
worth more every day and the scorn in which
it was once held is beginning to turn to adj
rniration. A dollar means more today than it
has meant for four years and people are begin
ming to have a lot more respect for it. vi
course it is losing it's lustre and becoming tar
nished by being hidden away in out Of the way
places. The dollar which really keeps it's lustre
up to it's highest point is the one which is con-
tinually shined up by changing pockets.
The value of the dollar will grow a lot faster
if lot of the people who have been letting
them tarnish will just loosen up little and put
them in circulation. The surest way to reduce
prices is to stimulate trade. Profits come from
volume of business rather than from just a
transaction here and there. The real fortunes
are built and have been built on steady trickle
of profits rather than from one grand sale in
which millions were realized.
Thursday is dollar Day" in Kenosha. It's a
real day for the people who are thrifty and
who want to be convinced that the dollar is
beating it's way back It's an honest appeal
Of the merchant to his customer for stimula-
tion of trade. The merchants of Kenosha are
going long way in making concessions in or
der to get the people to start back to the normal
trading idea. It's up to the people to show
an interest and an appreciation of the trade
concessions which are being offered. It's the
annual invitation to get better acquainted with
the men who run the home stores in the home
town and prize package is being offered in
every store as the lure to better conditions.
Your dollar will have a very large purchas-
ing power on Thursday and if you want to be
careful in the way you spend it you will be able
to buy a lot of things with it which you really
want and which you really need. Dollar Day in
Kenosha is the call to people who are thrifty
and who want to get the most possible for their
money. It is not one of those slip shod sales
where the people are urged to buy something
that they do not want simply because it is
cheap but day in which real merchandise is
offered in an honest trade stimulation effort.
Dollar Day is not something new but it has
come to be one of the real days in the lives of
most Of the cities of the nation.
The call to cooperation on Thursday is very
strong and it can be said that the merchants
who have part in this annual festival of better
trading and closer margins have gone the full
limit to provide something which will appeal to
the good sense of the people as well as to their
purses.
A careful study of the offerings will convince
most any one that the dollar is beating it's way
back and that dollar expended on Thursday
in Kenosha will have value which will be
far nearer the value you think it should have
than dollar has had in years.
Do your part to bring the dollar back to it's
riVhtful Mace Get il ont of the hidino Mace
and put it in circulation and give the whole city
chance to get some of the value Of it's earn
ing power. If you do this you will be able to
aid in the return to normal business and at the
same time you will begin to realize from the
expenditure of your dollar real purchasing
value.
The call to economist is not over. The dollar
saved is worth two extravagantly spent and
the best possible way to save money is to see
that it gets the most possible by spending it.
