BUY WISELY. AND BUY NOW.
(An Editorial Written by Roger K. Babson, For The i
United States Department of Labor.)
"Get business going and keep it going!” That sum- ,
Diarizes America’s greatest n£ed at the present time.
The end of the war has brought new problems,
which must be solved just as were the problems of the
war itself—by a quick and accurate diagnosis and a
prompt and adequate method of treatment. Fundamen
tally, all our troubles since the signing of the armistice
have come from just one thing—a tendency to wait, to
go slow, rather than to accept things as they are and
keep going ahead.
During the war it was patriotic to devote as little
money to non-essentials as possible. During the war it
was patriotic to wear out old clothes and old shoes, to
dispense with pianos and automobiles, to do without lux
uries, and to make the necessaries of life give more than
normal service.
That was also wise and right during the war. But
now the conditions have changed l vastly and for the bet
ter, unless we are ter consider the war prosperity bet
ter than normal times. At the present time there is a
shortage of almost everything that people need to eat
and to wear. There is a shortage of homes—one million
dwellings in this country and about as many in England.
Every normal constructive enterprise was checked by the
war. Now that peace is here, constructive enterprise
should go ahead at more than the normal pace in order
that we may make up for lost time.
"Get business going and keep it going.”
But it is useless to appeal alone to business men to
get business going. No business man, however good his
Intentions may be. can make the public buy his wares
against the will of the public. No business man, however
he may desire the resumption of normal conditions in
America is big enough to bear the whole burden alone.
The successful meeting of the*present crisis is a co-oper
ative enterprise, just as winning the war called for the
whole genius of the American people toward co-opera
tion. Every man, woman and child must do his or
her part, if prosperity is to come now.
How, then, are we to get business under way at
once? How are we to restore. America to peace-time con
ditions without the unpleasant experiences that some of
the Allied nations of Europe are undergoing?
io my mind the whole problem comes back, in the
final analysis, to the ultimatte consumer. It is upon the
consumer, the great general public, that we must depend.
Business can progress only in so far as it has public
support. The interests of labor depend upon the inter
ests of the business man.
During the war we have deprived ourselves of many
things that we actually needed. Many of us are now in
a position to satisfy the desires that we could not meet
a year ago. We know’ that the American public to-day
probably has a greater purchasing power than ever be
fore in history. Labor has been steadily employed dur
ing the war and hundreds of thousands of workmen re
ceived good pay and also made much money in overtime
and Sunday work. A great deal of this has been saved
and is now available for the resumption of business on a
normal scale.
Let the workman who has put by a tidy nest egg
j A VERSE A DAY.

English to a Pupil iu the Sophomore Class, Section A, of
the Americus High School.)

fbr the future.
However, business men need not expect the general
public to enter upon a mad orgy of spending. The
indications are all quite the other way. Labor is
waiting, business is waiting, the public is waiting. Neith
er labor nor business can afford to wait; the welfare
of any community depends upon the continuous use of
its productive power, and a day’s labor unused is for
ever lost.
The only way in which good can come to the com
munity is through large production at all times, a pro
duction great enough to give each of us at least all that
he needs. Stagnation of industry means increasing
social poverty, which will culminate in bread lines and
soup kitchens, perhaps, if in nothing worse. We do
not want bread lines or soup kitchens, and if we are as
intelligent as we think we need not have them.
We must protect industry from stagnation—but put
ting everybody at work. To put everybody at work,
we must have a demand for the goods that labor can
produce.
Therefore, this is a message that business men
should heed at this time—the demand must be created
and it can be created in only one way, by advertising.
Delay will mean the consumption of our reserve without
new production. Immediate action will mean pros
perity.
Advertising in every useful medium the things that
our people really want, the things that they had to
deprive themselves of during the war, will bring back;
prosperity by the shortest cut I am able to point out. i
Let every business man make a larger appropriation
for advertising than usual this year; the results will'
justify his effort if his commodity is one that the public
needs. Let us all, within the limits of our means,
have those things we want and need. By buying now
we shall do our part to put business under way, and '
once under way business will take care of itself for a!
good many years.
This is the psychological time for large production |
and for widespread distribution of the goods produced:
Unlike the usual time of crisis, there does not now exist!
any surplus, of goods; there is a shortage of almost
everything. It Is a mental attitude that lies back of
the indecision threatening our future. Every physical
fact urges speeding up of business at once, and to
create the mental state that will accomplish the re
sult we seek I would urge a widespread advertising cam
paign upon merchants generally. Let the public learn
the necessity for adopting as its course of conduct, ‘‘Buy
wisely, but buy now.”
J THIS AND THAT. ' j
Before The Throne Tottered.
It happened in the German capital. Two German
socialists were standing talking in the street, and one,
becoming excited exclaimed: “I tell you what, that
idiot of an emperor His discourse was cut short.
Turning quickly, he was confronted by a German police
man, who informed him that he was under airest.
“What for?” asked the captive, beginning to weaken.
“For uttering treason your emperor.” “Oh,
> but you didn’t let me flnsh. I was going to say ‘that
i idiot of an emperor of Japan’.”
‘No, you don’t!” replied the policeman. ‘‘There's
only one idiot of an emperor. Come along with me!”—
