F £ € T £ £ © -5 A sound dollar is one upon which our own nation and others can rely--to be worth about as much next year, or decades f rom now, as today. Those who have known economic distress in depression and deflation -- and those who have seen the value of savings, insurance and income eroded away by inflation -understand the damage an unsound dollar can cause. When the value of the dollar rises or drops sharply, somebody is always injured. This is the compelling reason why every American should support a sound, stable dollar-upon which the growth and prosperity of our nation must be based. McHENRY STATE BANK .
