Show B f J ENLIST FOR MORE BUSINESS. H f t In this great war message the President makes it plain H B that American business must be speeded up all along the H "OUR INDUSTRIES MUST BE MADE MORE PRO- m LIFIC AND MORE EFFECTIVE," he says that is, M ' more goods must be MADE, MORE SOLD, MORE M I BOUGHT than ever before. H Seven billion dollars is to be put into circulation here H ) in exchange for food products and manufactured goods H . to be consumed in Europe. This money will be paid out H ' for grain, for meat, for hides, for metals, for wages, and M will be widely distributed in agricultural and industrial M communities alike. IT IS THE BIGGEST ORDER H AMERICAN BUSINESS EVER RECEIVED. H j If we can't enlist in the army or the navy, we can at m least enlist for service in this great industrial army. We H can earn more money and spend more, and we can do this H Tl i our Present occupations, spreading in our daily work H the good old American gospel of hard work and prosperity. H The merchant who prepares for diminishing business H under present conditions is not only a short sighted busi- H ness man but a poor patriot. Hk, No nation in the world's history has ever been more H blessed than ours. Never was there more work to be 1" done. Never was money more plentiful. Economy? Yes, helpful economy, wise economy. That brand of economy : j that frowns upon waste and recognizes that the import- M J - ant job for those who cannot fight at the front is to fitrht ' I ! iere at home to keen the arteries of our commercial life Hh!i A I running actively and healthy. m mi l This is no time for burying one's ability or one's monev. ff J I It is rather a time for each of us to see what the world's ll I ' greatest business nation can do when it sets out to make 11 ' I a record before the world. v |
