World of Tomorrow
Former Governor Clyde R. Hoey in n
most impressive address Sunday morning
at the Krst ^Methodist church spoKe on
“The World Of Tomorrow”*
The speaker, in his usual interesting and
pleasing manner, presented three phases
of the subject.
First, he told of the economic side,
saying that this is a practical world and
that all must work for a living and that all
must have something useful to do. He urg
ed trade and commercial expansion
throughout the world.
Next, Former Governor Hoey spoke of
the moral side of life. He said that he was
not worried greatly about morals of return
ing service men, but that people at home
should know the importance of living clean
morally and having good homes for the
returning soldiers and sailors.
And the speaker concluded his address
with reference to the spiritual side of life,
urging closer contact with God and an ac
tive church.
It was a splendid message which con
tained encouragement and the urge foi'
sound progress along the three phases of
life, economic, moral and spiritual.-

There is a very^good reason for this
emphasis. As the Treasury pointl
its bulletin announdnir the
drive; “The banks could provide the mon
ey. But borrowing; from the bands all the
money we ne6d wbuld make ue^ dollar^,
would increase the amount of money in
circulation, would lay the basis for an in*
crease in prices of everything you buy,
would in short create a dangerous infla
tionary situation.” ^ ‘
The danger of a runaway inflation js-.,re-
fleeted aiike in the huge voluipe of ipbney
hi circulation and by the largest bank de-.
posit total in history. The national’ in
come is running currently at the rate of

With the airing of many postwar re-
abilitation recommendations, it becomes
icreasingly evident that there is a certain
lanimityNof belief among our various eco-
3mic camps.
In the confused aftermath of any such
ass conflagration there are bound to be
ifference in judgment concerning the dia-
asition of government-owned properties
id materials, the wholesale creation of
lbs, payment of the war debt, and ochor
lajor considerations.
But, it is encouraging to note the con-
insus of opinion concerning the need not

At a recent meeting of the executive
jncil of the American Federation of La-
r a recommendation was made that the
ar Production Board “be directed to be-

there is only about $85,000,000,000^
of civilian goods to buy at present prices,
while the purchasing pow^r of the pub
lic is still increasing. Unless the excess
purchasing power is invested in War Bonds
to close the “inflationary gap” the prices
of everything will be bid up, just as in an
auction where there is competition for a
limited supply of scarce goods.
Recent Department of Commerce fig
ures show that much of the increase in
national income has gone to war workers,
persons on government payrolls, farmers
and farm operators. Obviously those whose
income has increased greatly as a
result of war expenditures are in better
position to bay more War Bonds than those
whose income has remained fixed while
living costs have been going up. But if is
to the interest of every individual to help
prevent inflation by converting as high a
proportion of savings as possible into War
Bonds, the safest investment in the world
today—an investment in victory as well as
in personal security during the post-war
period of readjustment when the Bon^s
can be cashed in or allowed to accumulate
interest.
The drive will be a test of whether the
American people are willing to finance the
costs of the war through voluntary invest
ment of funds they cannot spend. It is a
challenge to the patriotism and foresight
of every individual American. It must not
fail.
Advertising your business builds it up.
and adds' to it; and advertising your
troubles has a like effect.

IT’S NOT THE CUSTOMER
WHO PAYS
(Statesville Landmark)
Capable adverti.sing authorities are
agreed that it i.s not “the customer who
pays for the advertising”, as some declare,
but they hold that it is the non-advertising
merchant who foots the bill for the adver
tising merchant’s advertising.
And here is the way they arrive at then-
conclusion: While the merchant who con
tracts for the advertising, formally issues
a check in payment therefor, the increas
ed business that is his because of his fore
sight and aggressiveness, comes mainly
from trade drawn from the non-adver-

the buyers continue to patronize the mer
chant who considers advertising not as an
expense but an investment.
No better proof of that last is needed
than the fact that the merchant who
spends two per cent of his gross sales on
advertising, shows a less percentage of
profit than his neighbor who spends three
and a half per cent. For restricted volume
means restricted turnover, and the two add
up to restricted profits. Carrying the
analysis a little further, restricted profits
also mean restricted service. And right
there is where the customer comes into the
picture.
For if the merchant v/ith small volume
would keep head above water, he must
maintain price levels at all times. Because
his turnover is curtailed, his shelves carry
merchandise that is undesirable, and as un
desirably priced. To this slow turnover
then must be charged the fact that cus-
tomex’s are attracted away by competitors
who offer fresher merchandise and newer
styles. Therefore he is the one who pays
for the advertising his competitors invest
in. In the end it definitely affects both the
merchant and the customer.'
