merchant, whero its value stays with

terests. When you come to think of it
there are only two kinds of dollars—the

opment Dollar." The "Dollar with
Wings" goes to build up the Far Dis
tant City, the Big Metropolis, with its
vice and crime and low wuges and
poverty. The “Development Dollar”
goes to build up the Home Town. It
helps build up a nation of real men and
women. Then, let us make the dollars
we spend "Development Dollars,” homo

neighbors and our children, making
OUR community more prosperous,
more happy, more content,-r by sub
