the Objectionable silver dollar size and

The public is constantly told that
our precious metal mining industry is
declining. No better step could he
taken to encourage it than to again
popularize the use of metal for none
tary purposes. Industrial activity all
over the world is putting lead, zinc and
copper mining back ON its feet By
circulating more real metal money and
less paper, the dwindling supply of
precious metals will be augmented by

AT no time in the past has 1t been
