He subscribes to the theory that “it Is just as patriotic to spend to day as It was to buy Liberty Bonds during the war.” This matter of spending is a “round robin” in which the dol lar for Us equivalent in wages, profit, value or gratified desire, returns to the original spender. But when one of os breaks the chain by keeping the dollar In his pocket and refuses to pass it along, it only Influences others to do the same th^g, and it leaves the next In line' totally without means to complete.the change. .^ It’s time now for us to put acti vity back of our resources; to In dulge our desires—in other words to buy so that the merchants can move their goods, place orders with the factories for more; en able the factories to employ more men and give those men in wages the means to buy what you your self sell or produce. The manufacturers and mer chants are doing their part now to make buying an Inducement and a profit to the consumers, be cause prices now on gll commo dities are down to lower levels than they will be again in many a day.
