HOW A DOLLAR CALCULATES


Spend dollar with your home
merchant and you will have an
opportunity of spending it again.
Spend a dollar away from
Welsh, and that dollar is forever
out of circulation as far as Welsh
is concerned.
Spend a dollar in Welsh for
shoes, the shoe man spends it in
the. grocery store, the grocer
spends it at the hardware store,
the hardware man spends it at the
dry goods store, and the dry good
man spends it with the jeweler.
The jeweIer owes you on account
and now is able to pay you, be-
cause you spent a dollar in Welsh.
That dollar has bought seven
dollars worth of goods while it
was coming back to you. Seven
men besides yourself made a pro-
fit on that dollar
The question of Buying in
Welsh" is much more than mere
Ilayalty to home merchantS--it
resolves itself into a matter of
weather or not, one can reduce or
increase their chances to accumu-
late money, have less money. or
more money to spend.
Every dollar sent away from
Welsh simply reduces the chances
of profit for the man who sent il
away.
! Looking at it from a hard-head-
ed, business standpoint it is good
common business sense to spend
your money where you have a
chance to get at least a part of il
back.
Now will you BUY in Welsh?'
