ID prices go up in a 3ay? They 'did not TKey can'f come down in a day Prices went up gradually from 1914 to

1919. Prices went up a step at a time. They can't come down by the bannister. THEY MUST COME DOWN THE SAME WAY THEY WENT UP.

T5c reason wo were able to finance the war so well was because business was good people bouffht and sold. The only way we can PAY for the war is by buying and Belling trading. And, moreover, prices ARE down for many commodities they are already down to lower level than they should be things are selling for. less than they cost $o make. That is an impossible situation. If you won't buy the things the other fellow makes, HE can't buy the things YOU make. That is reasonable, is it not? And if he doesn't buy the things you make the shutters will soon be up on YOUR place of business. Those who are insistently determined to wait until things "crash" before they buy are not doing humanity a service for nobody can sell things long at a lcc3 The prices of overcoats, shoes, furniture, tires and so forth, are based on the cost of raw materials, labor, freight, eta, and prof it to those who make, handle and sell them. Your livelihood and prosperity are bound up in the livelihood and prosperity of othci; men you can't deny that point There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the country we have bountiful crops, ample money, capable heads and hands. Business is a gigantic organization kept alive and active by trade coursing through ita veins. .When trade stops circulating business dies. Your particular trade can't flourish in splendid isolation. The articles you make you cant sell to men "out of a job,"

Ttdo thrift is always wise, but a stubborn refusal on the part of come of the American public to buy the things they need NOW is aimply Blowing down the wheeb of commerce thit feed and cloths and hcu3 us ALJL If you are on a buying strike "forget it Go cut and buy today the things you need, for the prices ARE down. If they are down further tomorrow or the nsxt day or next month, you may not then t-q fn a position to buy.
