Editor, Tribune: In your article of The Tribune of Dec. 1, “What Do You See?” I would like to know where Finney went to or whether he stopped talking to people so he could get away from the depres- sion talk. I claim it’s just one of the old busi- ness schemes business men who only think about today use to get business. They would just as soon have the poor People spend their last cent in their place of business so they can make a eration 123 branch institutes, And, in system’ inebriate cures such as the Neal and Gatlin system, and also many local institutes, making a total of around 325 or 350 hospitals or an “Then came prohibition, and the more than 300 dropped to around 30. The big parent Keeley cure at Dwight, TL, with 250,000 square feet of floor ‘space, was sold to the government for ® soldiers’ hospital, and tHe institute moved into a bungalow with only 3,000 feet of space, where it has operated ever since. “Under prohibition the need for drink cures has declined more than 90 per cent—which is not bad for a law which its opponents call a fail- the.” I would be pleased if you would print this in your “Voice of the Peo- ea REV.

Don’t encourage people to keep money in circulation and don’t any- body prophesy better times just around the corner. We will all see and notice them when they come, Respectfully yours, ADAM REICH. P.8.: The only place I can figure where Finney went is under the ice. Editor's Note:' We ‘appreciate Mr. Reich’s comment, but are forced to disagree with his idea. Unless someone spends there will be no business and if there is no business America is headed under the ice for keeps. We are sure neither Mr. Finney nor any other intelligent businessman would urge anyone to spend his last penny, but those who need not curtail their purchases should not do so, The hoarding of money is one thing wrong with America today.
