* * *********
There whs u time n »t long ago
when the United States of America
was considered a sort of oasis in a
desert of trade depression.
That has now pasx d and America,
like other countries, has been re-
duced to seeking comfort in th-
doctrine of the inevitability of. im-
provement.
We read many articles of statis-
tical nature on the ebb and the
flow of boom and depressions *>f
years ago. The danger is now that
if people are too well persuaded
that periods of boom and slump
are automatic, many may become
indisposed to make the requisite
effort to bring back normal times.
It therefore must be emphasized!
that though there might be a sensei
of inevitability about the rise and j
fall, it also would lie within hu-j
man province to cut short the slump |
periods.
There is no question but that 1
better days are certain.
They are being established day]
by day.
Some people think that it has
not been so muiAi over production
as unequal production and, worse
still, unequal consumption.
To think and do business as
usual, as many industries have done,
v/ill bring normal times back. As
an example: Those large concerns
who have met with the greatest suc-
cess have been the concerns who
have increased their newspaper ad-
vertising year by year, thereby in-
creasing sales. This sales effort has
kept them from feeling the effects
of a slump. All businesses should
do the same.
Let’s advertise and do business as
usual!
Card of Thanks
We are very grateful to our
friends for their many deeds of
kindness and thoughtfulness follow-
ing the accident to Mrs. Harris, j
and take this method of express-
ing our appreciation.
