Show NOW IS THE TIME TO SPEND The public has grown weary of the old slogans to the effect that "Prices are booming! Buy now!" etc. But there's truth in those phrases at present. Recent inflation activities and the prospective change in the gold backing of the dollar, will be the most powerful price stimulant stim-ulant in three years. It really is time to buy now ! Best of all, by buying now, and building and repairing now, you can do your bit in the most dramatic stage of the war against unemployment and distress and at the same time secure the greatest return on your dollar in more than a generation. A dollar in property improvement means a dollar touching the lives of a thousand people and doing a thousand dollar's work. Repair the steps, paint the house, remore fire hazards, renovate the garden, renew rotting foundations with concrete do any of these things, and you'll be a factor in the work of recovery. It is not prophecy to say that in your lifetime you'll never have the opportunity to get work done as cheaply as now. It's fact. The price structure is abnormally low. It is lower than even the intenseness of depression justifies. As demand increases, in-creases, the rate of climb will be sharply accelerated. Remember that providing jobs is cheaper than charity and that it's better to provide a job now than to have to contribute to charity next year. Remember, too, that unless the jobs are provided pro-vided it won't be long until nothing is left for charity! n |
