/ The people of this country right now - A..
situation that calls for common sense O"s are facing
Let's forget about Psychology and Economies ond TX,
ment and all other much-taked -of-thngs ' anu feduk
And use common sense.
In every city, town and hamlet in the land neo,o
each other what the country needs Op'e are Telling
But you know and know that what the naon,. !,
United States need most of all just now is Comm u lAe
If you shoemaker, and the furniture n,..,

And the producers of hundred other commoditio. u
during the year. stop buying the shoes you make
And by so doing throw you out of work
How are you going to get the money to buy the thp ~,
produce? w es eAg \
You've got to help what the other fellow nroa
and ne must help to- consume what you produce
Today the country is in good shape-the troubles sx
mostly in the minds of the people,
But if we do not wake up and start to do more by
it won't be long before our troubles will be real
Nations like individuals, can make themselves sick br
worrying when there is cause for worry
An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure and the
way to prevent industrial breakdown in the near future
is to-
Buy what the other fellow produces and start doing It
today.
The excuse of high prices has faded away.
The cutprce advertisements of reputable merchants fill
the pages of the daily newspapers
Read them today and buy tomorrow the things you have
put off buying so long.
Keep this fact everlastingly before you
If you don't buy what the other fellow produces he cannot
buy what you produce.
And if buying slows up many thousands of people not
actual makers of the things consume will be thrown out
of work.
Railroad men, for instance and cartmen, clerks and book
keepers and people employed in thousand different ways
That's about all there is to the whole situation.
And all the Senators and Congressman and Governors a
commissioners talk their heads off and can't change
Men and women of America and especially you VINO aN

There isn't man or woman reading this message VIZ

supplying themselves with the things they need
If you haven't the ready cash, your credit

the retailer who in many instances has cut prices U
he actually paid for the goods.
Buy now from the retailer, so that he can order L n
and give him chance to keep MS "OiA

All help-Dont say all this sounds good, Du b
