Buy It Now 



Say, 



Do vou remember when vou were 



a kid, 

 How they used to tell you 

 About throwing a pebble into a pond. 

 And how it made a ripple 

 That went on, and on, and on, and on 

 Until it reached the distant shore. 

 Or something like that? 

 And when you got big enough 

 You went to the minstrel show 

 And saw the end man 

 And the middle man 

 Show how a quarter of a dollar 

 Paid off ten dollars' worth of debts 

 In about five minutes, 

 By passing from Tambo to Bones, 

 And from Bones to Rastus, 

 And from Rastus to Ephraim 

 And from Ephraim to Lijah, 

 And so on around the half circle? 

 And then, when > ou were sent up 

 To college. 



The high-brow Professor 

 Tried to explain the same thing? 

 You remember? 

 Well, 



This is no talk on Political Economy 

 Or anything like that; 

 It's just a gentle hint 

 To the effect that Right No-%v 

 Is a good time for you 

 To start a little rii)ple of your own. 

 A good time 

 To start your dollars 

 Moving around the circle. 

 Pay off your debts. 

 Buy what you need, 

 And buy it now. 

 Get things started. 

 Put money in circulation. 

 That's good sense, 

 And patriotism, 

 And good business. 

 Every ripple in the pond. 

 No matter how small. 

 Helps break the stagnation. 

 Get busy 



And make a splash. 

 "Buy it now" 

 And get your money back.

Mr. Grower: 



If you think- 

 all sellers will make the same returns beginning with the 

 1915 crop, or it makes no difference who or which sells your 

 fruit hereafter — 



you may be sorry. 



The Growers' Council is not going to make efficient sellers 

 out of weak ones. It is simply going to make it plainer than 

 ever before which are weak and which are strong. It's up to 

 you to help the situation. Prove yourself a true co-operator 

 by selecting a reliable selling agency and signing up your 

 crop early. Do it now!
