Show keep the money I 1 moving I 1 the president of the american bankers association said a mouthful the other day it how much money is in circulation but how fast it circulates that county ile he said in substance one dollar will do the work of two dollars if it moves from hand to hand twice as fast money lying idle in a bank is not working it is only when money is being spent that commodities move factory wheels revolve workers are kept on the payroll in the reaction from art an orgy of reckless spending we seem to have swung almost as far the other way into a state of mind which can only be called miserly leople i are timid about letting go of a dollar for any purpose and in communities all over the nation able bodied men are peddling on the streets or taking money from charitable organizations for the support of their families this is more particularly true in the large cities the country regions and the small towns have not felt the depression as keenly as have large centers of population ula tion everybody in the united states broadly speaking knows that money is not circulating as fast today as it was a year ago and that people who owe money are finding it hard to get cash with which to meet their obligations that would not be the case if everybody who has something tucked away would spend some of it now for the useful necessary things which are needed and which will eventually be bought anyway all kinds of merchandise are cheaper now than for years to buy the nee necessary bilings now is is economy there is not a home in the land in which there are not some repairs to be made some contemplated additions or improvements to be installed some new furnishings required to attend to those thin things s now means putting nutting money into circulation at a time when it is actively needed ten dollars today spent will do the community more good than a hundred ed dollars spent a year from now we have said it before but it is still good advice take advantage now of the low cost of almost every thing and do little things around the house that tha will not cost much but which will help move merchandise and put money into workers pockets |
