CIRCULATION
IS NECESSARY
Spending Money Away From Hems
Town Does Net Benefit Your Buai-
ness Men or Your Town

Some men and women spend thes1
money away from home because thes
think they are putting it "into eircu-
lation."
They are sincere in their belief thas
they are serving real economic pur-
pose by taking the auto or the bua
or the train periodically and buying
the things they need in some large
city near their home. An eloquent
stranger from the city, IN the form
of a department store advertisement
or a mail order house catalog, has
explained the matter to them in great
detail and perhaps some hogic.
In either case. the advice newer
comes from any fellow townsnan of
theirs who has the interests Of ssae
home town at heart.

II is true that such buyers. by car
rying their money out Of town in per-
son, or sending II out by money or
der, are putting their money into mo
tion. That is one step in the process
Of circulation as it is known by econ
omists and business men. The die
tiOnary says in defining circulation:
Motion around or through something
back to the starting point"
Nothing comes back in the kind Of
''circuiation1 they are trying to put
under way. Value received would
come back TO the community. If 1t
were the right kind Of circulation.
That is the theory Of all sound busi-
ness. Nothing must be Iost in the
cycle, whether the return is in money
or in kind.
The money or the purchasing pow
er, that is in q small community is
like the Reservoir Of water that is
stored up behind a dam. The big city
market is the lowland into which the
river drains when the sluice gates are
lifted. Every time some member OF
the community carries his money
away, the water level is lowered and
the power that should grind the corr.
is lost
Nothing Comes Back
Now, the money is out. What comes
back from this expenditure made in
the distant big city by your Belt
money!
Nothing-absolutely nothing.
Your vaunted circulation ic q myth.
The big city is self-suffIcine. Belt
has nothing, makes nothing, raises
nothing that the metropolitan neigh.
Dors must have. Belt cannot supply
that hundreds Of other pIae-
Is Of similar size cannot supply. Beft
