—~” 25, 1932. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY M IDLE | JOLLARS wean IDLE VIR Don’t let Idle Money keep men out of work ...Will you help? This advertisement isn’t a lecture on Economics. It isn’t asking for donations . . . or requesting money. It’s an appeal to your own self interest. Whether you have an income of $20 a week or $200.. . . whether you run a business or a home. .. This is a job for everybody . . . rich and poor alike. We've got to get America’s idle dollars back to work . . . where they belong! Don’t you see what happens when a dollar’s with- drawn from circulation? It slows down everything. Credit tightens. Business gets bad. Factories stop. Men are thrown out of work. Take that same dollar . . . put it in circulation . . and ten more are released in credit. This credit is turned into raw materials. It keeps factories busy. It pays wages and salaries . . . your own included. . That’s the problem facing America. We’re the richest nation in the world. We have the resources. We have the factories . . . the machines. .. and the men to run them. Yes, and we have the money too . . . but we must get it back in circulation. We must get our dollars back to work . . . that is the foremost duty of every citizen of this country. Talk to local business men in your community , . . listen to what they say and follow their advice. Put your money where it will bring interest to yourself . - . and employment to your neighbor. That’s the way to help America win this fight! CITIEENS REGCONSBPTRUGTION ORCANIZIATION, This advertisement has been printed by this newspaper without cost in an effort to bring you these impohtant facts about idle money. B CHAIRMAN - Citizens Reconstruction Organization 400 WEST MADISON STREET, Idle hands result from idle money. But active money is the leaven that spreads its influence through all walks of life and through all industries. Never in the history of America has a dollar bill in circulation meant so much to our national prosperity as it does today. Let’s be done with “slacker” dollars. Let’s make every dollar work—for ourselves and our country! €CHICAGCO, ILLINOISR
