away from us, but when there are
any big contracts to be let we will
be In on them.
A larger payroll would benefit
every doctor, lawyer, dentist, mer

would be forced Into circulation and d
the more circulation of money the A

that of owning his own home. And
this will encourage the erection of
more residences, make a better de

prosperity of every person who is In

It will mean more school children,
more and better schools, a larger
