Has a Chance to Gome Back to You . :
Have you ever thought of the actual WORK a dollar does if spent in your city? v
Here's what a banker in a western city learned when he marked a single dollar bill with instructions that it be kept in that city,, and
each transaction in which this dollar bill was concerned to be reported to the bank. At the end of the week the dollar bill as to fre re
turned to. the Bank.
,The dollar was passed out to a customer on Monday morning.
By the end of the week it had been heard from exactly 138 times, each time figuring in a transaction among local people in their
hometown.
, '
It had paid butchers, grocers, dry goods merchants, hardware merchants, the landlord, the iceman, the laundryman, the milkrmuv
the washerwoman and had served dozens of other useful purposes.
' One resident reported that the dollar bill had passed through his hands on three different occasions during the week, each time to
be passed on with its important mission of use fulness.
Doesn't this show in a conclusive manner what a single dollar can do when kept at home?
Doesn't it prove the utter folly of taking or sending your money out of town?
Think how much better it is for your own prosperity, and the prosperity of Gastonia, to deal with your own merchants who give you
equal or better values.
Stop and think. iYou'll be sure to always give the local stores first chance. J
