THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1932. There’s a job waiting for every idle dollar in America. And what a job active dollars can do to speed up business—to create new jobs for men eager to work. You can do your bit to help yourself and your country by drafting every slacker dollar you can lay your hands on—and puttingitback in circulation, back to work! CITIZENS RECONSTRUCTION ORGANI GIVE us a hand ... America has a big job to do! Here we are.. . . the richest nation in the world. We’ve got the tools . . . factories, machines, men. And we’ve got themoney, too. But some of it’s lying idle. That’s it . . . idle money is crippling business. Forcing men out of work. Slowing down the wheels of industry. Smothering the entire country’s system of credit. Today . . . right now . . . there are over a billion and a half American dollars lying idle . . . not working. Oh, it’s easy for the average man to say . .. “That’s no problem of mine . . . I haven’t a lot of money.” But it is your problem. It’s evérybody’s problem . . . rich and poor alike. A ten dollar bill withdrawn from circulation means a hundred dollar loss to credit. Don’t you see how quickly active money multiplies? ZATION, 400 WEST MADISON Of course, you should save. But save wisely. Release your money in a conservative way that will benefit everybody. If there’s any question in your mind. .. talk to the able business men in your city. But the net of it is .. . put your money where it will bring interest to yourself . . . and employment to others. This isn’t the first time that America has had a tough job to do. We had one in 1917. And we licked it by pulling together. Let’s do this one the same way. This advertisement has been printed by this newspaper without cost-in an effort to bring you these important facts about idle money. CHICAGO, CHAIRMAN Citisens R B Ovasiidaiak STREET, ILLINOIS
