In a certain western
town lives a gentleman
whose name is William
Dollar. They call him
Dollar Bill when they
get funny. But Mr. Dol
lar is a dignified, enter
prising, good citizen.
Xot every Dollar
Bill is a good citizen.
Many of them are prone
to ignore the claims of
their own community
and run av/av to a big
%j o
citv to be spent. Many
millions of Dollar Bills
have left the smaller
towns for the overgrown
cities this present year of
our Lord.
IIow many Dollar
Bills have gone out of
THIS TOWX — left
home and gone to some
big city, never to return ?
Every time a Dollar
Bill leaves tov.Ti it takes a two-cent stamp with it, for it goes
to a Mail Order Store. That helps the postmaster a little,
but it doesn’t help the local merchant. It means just so
much less trade for him.
-o
Which means just so much less cash circulat
ing in this community.
Which means just so much more social and
business stagnation,
Which means the stunting of the town's
growth just to that extent.
If you could figure up the Dollar Bills that leave town
in this secret manner, like taking French leave—which you
can’t—you would know just how much the tov\Ti is stunted
by indulgence in this mail order stunt.
If these Dollar Bills were really good and enterprising
citizens they would stay at home and circulate around, help
ing things along.
How many of YOUB Dollar Bills take the midnight
express out of town on the Envelope Route ?
