Offop-o-Iis

A campaign so vital to the future of this community
OFFOPOLIS crusade which is being launched in this
that no citizen can fail to heed its solemn warning is the
weeks edition of this newspaper.
OFFOPOLIS is not an imaginary place. It is as real,
its sponsors say, as the mail order catalogue in the parlor,
as interesting and exciting as the big city that beckons
you because the roads are paved and the stores are large
and as persuasive as the young man who worked our
town last week with a sample case.
OFFOPOLIS is in fact a distant, farOFF place
to which unthinking people "Send-or-Spend' their money
OFF for goods or services which could and should be
purchased at home.
1t is our gravest problem, this sending corresponding
OFF of hometown dollars.
It's everybody's problem.
This OFFOPOLIS peril is one that must be halted or
cherished Durant institutions will falter and fail.
You, the people-we, the people, if you please, must
realize that we cannot Send-orSpend OFF dollars with
out resultant loss to our communicates profits, lost
jobs, lost and irretrievable peace and prosperity.
No citizen can be censured for purchasing goods or
services elsewhere which cannot be purchased here but
we must face the facts and know that dollars that flow
out Of the reservoir of our resources will never fly back.
Patriotic business and professional interests of our
community are joining hands with this newspaper to call
attention to the grave and growing peril of OFFOPOLIS.
Won't you, the people, join us in the crusade for
the best interests of the community we all love and serve?
