“What Is Wealth?”
People have had more success eating razor blades and swallowing swords than
they have in eating money. Altl'.ough money is most generally used as a measure of
wealth, its only value is as a convenient means of exclianging the real wealth
which is goods and services.
All of us who work for a living exchange the product of our labor with other
workers. The money we are paid in wages for our work furnishes a convenient
medium of making this exchange.
Imagine how diffieult it would be for a worker in the Sheeting Mill, for example,
to get paid off in sheets, carrying them around to pay his rent, his grocery bill, his
light bill, the installment on the car, etc.
Money is so useful as a medium of exchange that we sometimes overlook the
fact that the real wealth is goods—goods that supply our needs, that give us pleas
ure, that are part and parcel of our standard of living.

From the Draper Office
(By Evelyn Lewis)
Gladys Martin has returned from
Leaksville Hospital, where she was a
patient.
Seems like old times seeing and hav
ing Everlena Cannaday back with us
again. Everlena is substituting for
Gladys Martin during her absence.
Back on the job again is Mrs. Melvin
Pruitt, the former Lorene Blackwell.
While Lorene was out to get married,
Louise Gerringer supplied in her place.
Welcome, Louise!
These men and their bowling teams!
Why don’t we girls get together and
form us a team? The men who work all
around us are working for a steak sup
per. With Ralph Going and Ralph Pick
up as captains, it is a question of “who
is going to pay for the steaks?’’ At the
present. Going’s team is in the lead.
What’s this we hear about James Mar
lowe sporting a brand new green Nash
automobile? Must be wonderful!
J. W. Pulliam and family wish to
thank you for your kindness and sym
pathy at a time when it was deeply
appreciated.
