IDEA ORIGINATED HERE
Thrift Day Will Be All
Action, No Claptrap
It's almost here, Thrift Day,
Thursday, February 3.
Philadelphia is being advertised
all over the country on account
of it.
It i3 to be all action, no clan
trap. The success of the day will
be measured by the increase in
bank deposits, not by the noise
made at a banquet.
Bankers are working hard to
make it "cro."
Country editors have taken to ,
it strongly.
Thrift Day Is almost here. After today,
Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday,
February 3. Thrift Day.
The value of Thrift
Day Is BolnR to lie
In the Hcntlment
nlone and the net.
There Isn't rroliiR to
he any great parade
to attract one to
cither tho sentiment
or the act. nor a
dinner with specchen
extolling the senti
ment, but aJso coitlnK money, which isnt
the Idea, of Thrift Day; no, there's to he
nothing like that.
Thrift Day has simply been indicated
by the man who thought of it to be on
Fobruary 3, and there you are. Mr.
Clement has picked the day and lt't up
to you to observe it. G. V. Clement is
his name, and he's a Philadelphia!!.
Probably ho never thought of It when
he set this day of next Thursday to be
Thrift Day, but nil over the country they
are giving this city the credit for estab
lishing this "unique and valuable" idea,
which Is what they always rail It. "Tho
Idea which comes from Philadelphia,"
they say.
A COUNTRY EDITOR'S V1KWS.
A country editor In Kansas writes nn
editorial In his paper. This Is what ho
cays:
"Days for the observance of special
ceremonies designed to call attention to
meritorious purposes aro ..rowing more
numerous In this country year by year.
Independence Day, Memorial Day and
Flag Dag are some of the days devoted
to patriotic pui poses, and we have Arbor
Day, Mothers' Day. . nd so on: but it has
remained for Philadelphia to propose that
we have a Thrift Day, devoted to uriiiT
ing before the people, in n striking and
definite way, thf advantages of implant
ing In the minds of the people n better
understanding of the value of economy
nd thrift as affecting both the individual
and our national life.
"The value of setting aside one spcclllc
day on which public attention shall be
Invited to this Importni.t subject Is. of
course, obvious. It means thnt through
newspuper articles, lecturp'?, addresses,
talks, advertisements and other avenues
of publicity the popular mind will be
directed toward thrift and so concen
trated upon It for the one day at least,
that considerable permanent Interest will
be aroused and action taken in many
cases that will lead to a wider and pei
manent cultivation of this economic
virtue.
"Perhaps one result that may bo ex
pected to follow an educational cam
paign of this sort will consist of a
clearer realization of what the word
thrift' signifies
