DONT SPEND
Hoston —Merrill. Oldham &
Co. say: We believe that the
best advice at the present time
is “DONT SPEND.”
Dont buy that new car but
use your present car another
year
Dont make those improve
ments to your house.
Dont travel when you can
just as well telephone or write.
Dont spend as much as you
had planned on your vacation
All over the country there is
a shortage of labor of facilities
and of capital.
Your spending of money in
creases the demand which caus
es this shortage.
If you refrain from spending
you will help to overcome this
shortage, you will help to re
lieve the railroad congestion,
the scarcity of labor, the coal sit
uation, the banking situation, &
you will be doing your part to
reduce the cost of living.
i
Moreover you will have avail -
J able money, & the rewards paid
for available money now are
creator than for generations.
Instead of buying what you
can probably get along without
you can buy an assured future
income for yourself and wife &
| children at a lower cost than at
i any time in your recollection.
Your money is worth more
in this direction at present than
in any other.
Don’t spend, but invest.
