W. S. Cummings reports that
the Kansas City Life insurance
Company and the Orville Thorp
Agency expect to enjoy the great-
est year during 1925 in their
history. They are making plans
for a substantial increase in new
business and are confident of re-
alizing their expectations. Their
optimism and confidence over
the prospects of new business
are based very largely upon the
general business survey which
has just been completed by the
Guaranty Trust Company of
New York on the business and
financial conditions in the United
.... States, Among some of the
N.j.Lanotte, l'ost, children, tere8tlng ,calur,s o1 llna ,q)orl
covery in Europe;
2. The readjustment betweep
agricultural and industrial
prices;
3. The success ofconservative
political issues in both European
and American elections.
“Kesdonding in part to the
influence of these important fine-
tors and partly to the reaction
inevitable from a long period of
reduced production and lessened
activity, substantial business re-
covery occurred in the c osing
months ot the year, and seems
well under way for 1925. So
far, this recovery has developed
no over-production or excessive
Borrowing, and it has not at-
tained the proportions oi a boom
or inflationary movement; in
fact, solid and substantial pro-
gress, based upon clearly defined
conditions, is its characteristic
feature. The bases for the as-
surance of luther progress may
be summarized as lollows:
1. Ample credit and capital
and low interest rates;
2. Large retail and mailorder
•ales;
3. Ample and efficient trans-
portation;
4. Increasing foreign trade,
especially a greater volume u*
exports;
5. Greater prosperity and
saner regulations lor public util-
ities;
<*. Improved industrial con-
ditions, particularly in the mo-
tor, rubber and textile indus-
tries, and marked recovery in
the iron and steel industry, with
rising markets for other metals;
7. Increasing employment < i
labor;
N. The high purchasing pow-
er of wages;
9. A reasonable stability and
balance of prices;
10. Greatly increased savings
deposits and new life insurance
written as evidence of thrift;
11. Strong stock and invest-
ment markets, with a larger vol-
ume of successful financing of
both foreign and domestic offer-
ings;
12. A reassuring political ( ut-
look.”

are the following:
“At the beginning of the new
year the business outlook on the
whole is distinctly favorable.
At no other time since the war
has there been so marked a pre-
dominance ot encouraging fac-
tors. The essential bases for
sustained and well rounded
prosperity have been materially
strengthened. The outstanding
features of tde year 1924 were:
1. The adoption of the Dawes
plan, quickening economic re

Another ‘Bull’ Durham adver-
tisement by Will Rogers, Zieg-
feld Follies and screen star, and
leading American humorist.
More coming. Watch for them.
T WANT i t distinctly under-
1 stood that this is an ad.
What’s more* it’s one of my
first attempts. Of course,
the logical question is what
does Will Rogers know about
writing an ad? My answer
is simple—everything!
The first thing any ad
writer has got to know is
how to get paid. I found
that out. The first letters
of the alphabet I learned
were P. I. A.—that means
Pay in Advance.
The real truth about why
I started writing ads for
these people is that I got
a family kicking the toes
du t of lots of shoes daily and
I read where my employers
sold enough of their stuff so
that if the bags were laid
end to end they would
stretch further than from
Oklahoma to Yokohama—
and that’s some stretch. So
I think this looks good to
me. That’s why I signed
up. I hope it turns into a
steady job. At any rate, I’ll
have another piece here two
weeks from now.
P. S. I like,‘;> for-ot to tell you what I
*»as silvern sir", it’s ‘Bull’ Durham. I
don’t smoke it myself. I don’t smoke
anythin!', but somebody due* or else what
happened to all those bags?
IT’S MORE ECONOMICAL
of course, but the real
reason thousands of
he-men swear by good
oP ‘Bull’ Durnarn is
been use for sheer good-
ness of flavor, you just
can't tie it.
