INULTs4, POWER OF DOLLAR IS EASILY SHOWN Keep One Moving and See What It Will Do for Your Com- munity. the plumber; Jones could net have paid his printing bill; the printer would have had to stand off the milk man; White, the carpenter, would not have got the money for the work he had done for the milkman and Smith would not have got the money which White owed him for lumber. , This is all so simple that it requires no student of economies or professor of mathematics to figure it out. Any- one can see that when Smith sends that dollar to Chicago or some other city where the mail order houses flour. PAYS MULTITUDE OF DEBTS ish, that dollar Is gone mo far as Smith • When it Is Sent Out of Taiarf, How. ever, to Pay" for What Can Be Bought at Home It Is Gone /t Is a rather ivonderful thing, when you stop to think about it what one lone dollar will do, if it is kept at work. This has been illustrated in a striking manner on several occasions by means of a very simple experiment. If you want to see just how important a role a silver dollar or a dollar bill plays in the life of a col:amenity here is the 'way to do it. just attach a tag to the dollar and turn it toose, with the request that every person who receives the dollar make a note on the tag as to how he reeelved it. The re- sult will be an eye-opener. Here is the way it works: Smith, the 'lumber dealer, who first possesses the dollar, buys some groceries from Brown and pays for them with the dol- lar. About that time Jones, the plum- ber, Whe had done some work for Brown, sends his collector around and Brown peys the bill with this dollar. Jones (FOS Green, the printer, a sMall advertising bill, se he fiends this dollar with possibly scene others, to Green to pay his bill. Green had just put the dollar in his cash drawer when in conies Black, the milkmaa, to whom Green owes a dollar for milk delivered at his house. Green takes the dollar out of his ertah drawer and pays Mack, For some time Blaek has owed White, the carpenter, for tome work done -on hia dairy lame, so now he Mires the dollar that Green has paid htm and pays up what he owea White. he bought from Smith, the lumber dealer, so he taken the dollar and smith now has him dollar back. rlroWn been able to pay his plumbing hill, Jones has squared up with the printer, and rro on, all around the What might Haire Happened. Now suppose that ineasien1 buying his glitsfaalsal from Brawn, WI sloltar fro pay fee Oman. Eitnien Wald sot barn tuad Oct &UV CO pc NV" and Jones and Green and the rest of the people in Smith's town are con- cerned. That dollar will never etime back to pay any bills in Smith's town, And the thing that stands out most striking, but is most eften overlooked, is that Smith, the man who first spends the dollar, is hurt just as natelt when he sends that dollar out of toWn as is the home grocer from whorn he might have bought his groceries. Now just raultiply this one dollar by a hundred or a thousand or ten thom sand. One dollar may not seem to make much difference in the average town, but a thousand dollars or even a btmdred dollars does make a differ. ence. just as one dollar will pay a dozen or a hundred small bMs, a bun. dred or a thousand dollars 'will pay a dozen or a hundred big bills. When Brown, the grocery man, owes a thou. sand dollen and Can't pay it, be headed for the bankrtptcy courts. When Jones, the plumber, can't collect the money which is dtie him from Brown or maybe a dozen Browne, he is headed in the same direction -es Brown. And so it goes all around the circle until it hits Smith or a dozen Smiths who have sent their money aut of tOwn to add to the fortunes of the mail order Buyer One Who Is Hurt. Thus, it will be seen that thie bite - one with the inan who buys the geode. He is not hurting the' home merchant when he sende hie money out of town, any more than he is hurting himself, DYety eentible mart knows that his livelihood depends upon whether husi- nese in bis town is good or not. rf business is not good, he cannot Make good living for himself and his family, no matter bow hard he may work, and bnainesis cannot be good if the busi- ness men in the tom are not making sltion for every man and woman In tbe community.
