Not More Money But Faster Cir culation Required. Purchasing power" is a much mis-; understood term. Many think it means th- amount of money in the 1 country. They therefore argue that: .he only way to increase purchasing power is to print more money. I say that there is plenty of money in the country. The trouble is that much of! it is not circulating. It is piled up in the banks, or hidden away in homes. | and hence lost to active circulation. 1 To get this money back into Industry where it will start production and pay wages is the big job before the advertising and sales forces of the i nation. If every person with a job in I the l nitod States could be induced to spend only one dollar more per l week during the coming year, the volume of business would be increas ed *I(VJOO.OO<JtO©O. Banks would re lease billions more to finance the purchase of commodities and equip ment; industry would step up its rate of employment and production; pay roll totals would increase, purchas ing power would advance, and pros perity would return. Hence. I say that the real job be fore this country now is an adver tising and selling job. It is so *m- j porlant to business recovery and to the nation's welfaic that the govern- 1 ®tg|WBSON, (N.C,) DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1992 W ° U d really be in sub sidising advert bring and * oiling < ie are two th.i.g* t.-i* government should subsidize if it snb kTTT. *“*♦*"* *»re people should ***** amd advertising k ® r * * general movement should •• started to indue* those who can 4° 94k 1 cast riot too atrongely ►eipknaiae tha purchasing power is espsatoot om the amount of but on tbe rate at which it circulates.

Some may say that most of the unemployed are unable to sell I deny this statement. Such peoplc are perhaps unfitted to influence business men; but they may be bet ter able to influence their own neigh bor* than the business men are. Yes. give me a small portion of tht money which public officials are to day spending upon charity and let me uee this money in giving a group of the unemployed supervised pro motional woit;. and the demand for good* would immediately return. Be fore tong business would be back again to normal. Business as registered by the Bab sonchart now stands at 16 per cent below a year ago.

For twenty-five years rain or snow Mail on Route No. 1 had to go. So clear the track Mr. Garrett With the mail is coming Don't you hear the wheels a hum ming He is driving just as hard as he can go And he would drive a little faster But he is fearfulof disaster For the farmers want their mail on time you know. * He has a letter for the master For the sick some pills and plaster He has lots of things they all enjoy to read He has some pattern* for the ladies And som“ picture* for the baby. And he is the man that all the coun try people need. Every day tn every weather He must get the mail together Making no difference how the sleet and rain may fall When the zero wind is blowing And the air ia thick with snowing ‘ This is no excuse to Uncle Sam at all And he thinks it is such a pity That the fellow £rom the city Can't be forced to make this round in slop and mud But there Is one thing as sure as thunder They would have to darn some plun der For they would soil their starch un maculated dude. But he is always out with letters And bound by United State* fetters And never get a day he cawe nis own But he is glad to do his duty Finding some delight of duty Now and then along hte pathway strewed. 9o each day he ts always gone Never thinking or never knowing Os the joy or sadness strewed along hia line Some he leaves in team and aednes* tamsE HP*UJ Ui l *-*■ i 5 cor-iiK Cs — i ' / c. . <’ 'ssal Some he leaves in mirth and gladness !
