BUY MORE AND STIMULATE
BUSINESS
The farmers living near Mitchel
ville, lowa, are opposed to economy
as a method of solving the depres
sion problem, and we are not sure
but that their plan has much merit.
At a meeting of farmers living in
that vicinity to consider the best
way to meet the present depression,
it was unanimously decided that
economy has become too much of
a fad and pledged themselves to
abandon it.
Many persons, financially able,
are not buying the merchandise
they want and need nowadays, the
farmers believe. The reason, they
conclude, is:
“They have the idea they are do
ing the popular thing when they do
with wornout articles instead of
buying new ones, or they fear they
will be criticised by neighbors, rela
tives, employes or employer.
“When this condition is correct
ed business will improve immediate
ly and we will benefit along with
people in other industries and busi
nesses.
“Therefore we will buy the things
we want and can afford for our own
personal, home or farm use. Right
now each of us need from SI,OOO to
$3,000 worth of farm equipment.
We will buy this equipment and
other things just as rapidly as we
are able.
“We 'will give a word of approv
al to the man or woman in town or
country who buys the things he or
she wants and can afford.”
