To

J)

Campaign

The f o l l o wi n g s ta tement

re -

gard ing the

scrip

"Money for

Elyr ia" campaign which

ha s

been

organ ized by Elyr ia merchants ,

wa s

issued this m o r n i n g b y

Earl

Bacon , Secretary of the Chamber

of Commerce:

"Considerable

uncert

a 1 n t y

seems

to have been caused in the

minds

of

local people

by the

"Money

fo r

Elyria" Campaign

which ha s been organ ized by a

constan t ly

increasing

number of

F.iyria

merchants.

Since the

movement wa s organ ized

by the

Merchants Divis ion

of the

Cham-

ber of

Commerce,

we are

anxious

to have all doubts regard ing the

proposition

cleared

up.

"Perhaps the ttse of the word

"scrip" in connec tion with the

campaign is ill-advised. In one

sense

-the

" M o n e y

fo r

Elyria" js

scrip because

it

is used instead of

money in purohaf i ing merchandise

or paying

bill

2

:.

In

several other

ways,

however , "Money

fo r

Ely-

ria" is not at all the

same

as the

scrip w h ic h is in

use

in several

other cities.

Backed by Cash

"I n the f i r r t p lace, "Money

fo r Elyria,' Cert i f i cates are evi-

dences that

a c t u a l cash money is

on deposit in a

local

bank. The

amount

of m o n e v on

deposit

in

the bank will be

k e p t equal

at all

times

to the va lueof the

"Money
