One-third is used to build up service output

Making Your Own New Year
pr0aueroua

People pass to and fro in front of the mer-
chants store, but few enter to buy. Business
isn't so good The merchant feeling the pinch
curtails the family expenses, with the result
that they do without new coats, and buy small
orders of groceries, etc. The coat merchant
and the grocer are affected and must lay off
slack work means idleness and fewer pay dol
lars. No pay--no buying--no buying-no
help When business is bad, swork is slack, and
business and no business means no work and
no work means no pay. 1t works in circle.
One affects the other all the way around. Your
action proves boomerang that returns to
strike you. $50.
But when people buy business is good. That
creates need for more goods and more help,
which means good pay. When you help one
you help yourself When you hurt another
you hurt yourself.
Help each other by patronizing home town
merchants. When you buy in Fitzgerald your
work and pay is made secure. When you buy
at home your dollar circulates and eventually
returns to you. When you buy out of town
your money stays away and you are indirectly
affected Patronize home town stores and
merchants. Spend your money in Fitzgerald
and your prosperity will be guaranteed for the
New Year. Make Trade at Home a rule.
