Ben F. Cheek
Trapshooting has added the name
of Ben F. Cheek of Clinton, Ind.,
to its list of immortals. The 59-
-old Hoosier, who has taken
in the sport leas than a year,,
is winner of trapshooting's most
prized championship-—the Grand
American handicap—at Dayton,
O. A used automatic shotgun
that ha bought for $20 was
Cheek’s chief stock-in-trade as he
blasted his way to victory over
New Year. But this year it is
unusually significant; It will ush-
er in the most active Autumn since
the crash. September business
has already started off at the high-
est level since ’29. Hence, my ad-
ice is to put the finishing touches
on fall business campaigns now and
be ready to reap the first real har-
vest in six long, lean years. Be-
fore the curtain falls on 1936, I
predict that we will have crossed
the normal line on the Babsonchart
and be heading into a pew era of
prosperity!
Pace-Setting Industries
My optimism qn fall business is
based on an analysis of leading in-
dustrial barometers. The follow-
ing five representative industries
wright such as was done during n,Sn **
the first two festivals: anTthlplnaml
. Following the..success and the ^ **
international accteim garnered by
tail sales are felt through-all lines
a*d dll communities. In relation
to the season’s unusually good de-
mand, the nation's inventories of
finished goods are at the’lowest
point in years. This means that
more raw materials and more
workers will be necessary, during
the fall to keep pace with consumer
demand. For instance, replenish-
ment of depleted stocks has alieady
boosted textile activity to tkejiigh-
est level since 1930.
Five Question Marks
There are, however, several ques-
tion marks in the outlook. First,
and of most immediate importance,
is the drought. Some sections

months. Temporarily, production
has dipped, but plants are oper-
ating well above last year’s ratio.
Sales are holding up surprisingly
well. As soon as retooling for
new models is completed, produc-
tion will start climbing toward the
levels of the past year. High ac-
tivity in this pivotal industry will
be reflected in many major lines.
I 2. Steel: Steel activity last
month was the highest for any Au-
gust in seven years. The sharp
summer dip predicted by most
business observers failed to mate-
rialize. In fact, operations work-
ed up against the usual trend dur-
ing August. Factors in steel im-
provement are the revival in the
heavy industries, boom activity at
automobile plants and new demand
from miscellaneous sources. Blow-
ing in of new steel furnaces at this
stage of the cycle means that all
industries are now actively join-
ing in the recovery.
3. Building: Currently, home
building is 50 per cent above a year
ago, while industrial constriction
is up 100 per cent, i Yet the indus-
try is operating at only 40 per cent
of the 1926-29 average. In good
times over half our present jobless
til our government is balancing its
budget. Third, the campaign may
also cause some unsettUment be-
fore the election is over but it
will not. alter the basic, upward
trend.
Then there is fear that the strug-
gle between the fascists and com-
‘ munists in Spain may touch off a
major war. Trans-Atlantic dis-
patches will be disturbing at times,
but no general European war lies
immediately ahead. Finally, la-
bor unrest is causing a good deal
of anxiety, J doubt very much,
however, if American labor lead-
ership is so short-sighted as to
launch a ^trike in any big industry
this fall. But next year ~~ look
out! *
Push Sales Now \
Weighing the bullish and kar-
jish influences, the scale falls heav-
ily on the side of optimism. Only
a lack of spiritual vision is holding
our nation back. We are in the
