The huge House in America” 193-205 Park Row “THE ONLY .WAY FOR THE WAGE EARNER TO PRESERVE A’ HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING IS TO HAVE SO MUCH CAPITAL INVESTED IN. INDUSTRY THAT IT MUST ‘ COMPETE FOR HIS SERVICES.” Mr. Frederic W. LePorin, associated with the house of Henry L. Doherty & Company, 60 Wall Street, for several years, is in direct charge of the Thrift and Investment campaign which Mr. Doherty and I have been writing about for several weeks. Last Saturday, Mr. LePorin brought to m atten- tion a book entitled, “WHY MEN STRIKE,” by SAMUEL CROWTHER, and from it he read the quo- tation which appears at the head of this column. It impressed me so much that I am writing today’s Letter around this quotation, and so that this Letter will not be confused with the others I have been ee to Pic under the heading, “PERSONAL BUT NOT CON- FIDENTIAL,” in which I have set forth the message of Thrift for Thrift’s sake, I want to give you a new angle on Thrift, which has a deeper and more powerful appeal than merely laying by money for the sake of accumulating it. lone Don’t yeu ant $e pee es maintain the resent high standard of living Le Don’t you want to heighten, if possible, the standard of living? Don’t you want to do your share to abol- ish unemployment? Don’t you want to see the time come when employers will compete for your services? i you do want to do these things, you have the means at hand in your own per- sonalities. » Do you appreciate that, collectively, the wages and salaries paid in this great coun- try of ours. comprise the preponderantly larger part of all the earnings of all in- dustry? ore CONTENTMENT AND PRODUCTION, AND PURSES, TOO, WILL BE FULL IF WE DO OUR PART. Only those who refuse to see the truth will deny that it is to the interest of the workers to lay by some art of their wages or salaries—which is merely intel-. igent practice of Thrift—and then to carefully invest the proceeds of their Thrift. If all workers will just apply common sense to the handling of the monies they earn, the a, ite sum they will be able to add to the capital already employed in this country will foree expansions in industry ly dredmed of now. 3 sum that workers collectively may invest, if they will, will impel the employment of Shih awileehy now unemployed, or only partly employed. They will have, in no time, every furnace roaring, ev loom working, every spindle turning, every lathe and plane working day and night. I repeat: CONTENTMENT AND PRODUCTION AND PURSES, TOO, WILL BE FULL IF WE DO OUR PART. nee PATRIOTIC SELFISHNESS A CURE FOR DISCONTENT. There is no question about it: “THE ONLY WAY FOR THE WAGE EARNER TO PRESERVE A IGHER STANDARD OF LIVING IS TO HAVE 80 MUCH CAPITAL INVESTED IN INDUSTRY THAT IT MUST COMPETE FOR HIS SERVICES,” Call it patriotic selfishness, if you will, but, never- theless, it is the kind of patriotism that will cure discontent. Samuel Crowther has given us in one paragraph in his book something that ought to make every one 5 ne think, and I believe it will make all workers think. ‘ ' He has pointed out the real way for us to practice a aEe so that we may get out of it the best in our ives, It is the way for you and me to make for a better day for those children of ours—particularly those chil- dren growing up and now preparing for full citizenship and for the time when they themselves will become the workers of the country. It is, the only way to freedom from the fear of poverty and all its destructive elements in those days, in the autumn of our lives, when hard work is no longer possible, es MANY HONORABLE HOUSES WILL HELP YOU TO SELECT SAFE INVESTMENTS, Any good house, which has earned its standing through moral responsibility, will help you to select safe investments, and right now you may secure safe investments at prices that were never before so attractive. If you are not already in touch with some other house of financial and moral responsibility, Henry L. Doherty & Company, 60 Wall Street, will be glad to have you write to them or call at their offices, mak- ing any inquiries you like, and they will answer all questions carefully and fully, eithes by letter or in person. he ee Please read again the quotation from Samuel Crowther’s book; get it into your mind and keep it there, because it is the foundation upon which must be built the permanent prosperity of our country and the happiness of all of our people. Go to your library and get this book. Time spent in reading it will be well worth while. Spending one's ‘time or money wisely is Real Thrift. *_e* © Sincerely yours, WILLIAM C, FREEMAN, 117 West 46th St., N. Y. City. (Letter No. 30) a ee IY j i]
