1 While' this is primarily a farm
area, big strides in industrial pro-
gress have taken place in the pasr
decade. The decentralization of
American industry is the major im-
petus in this trend. I feel that
unionizing campaigns will bring
many more branch plants out here.
Wonderful railroad facilities, a
great waterway system, and an
abundant supply of good labor are
an incentive to great corporations
fall to diversify their plants geographic- j
ally. For these reasons, I expect i
to see the •center" of American in- j
dustrial life steadily marching j
westward and southward!
Prices, Pol tics, and Labor

ness is mo6t noticeable in retail ,
trade. Spring sales have not j

feel that one big factor is the mark-

the continual nagging and scolding
about politics. I am afraid that
some business men are worrying too

Business Here A boat Average
I do not consider that business
right now is as good here as in
the South, Southwest, or Mountain
States. But the gain over a year
ago is roughtly 10 to 15% for the
section. Illinois. Wisconsin, and
Minnesato are doing the best busi-
ness, while the Dakotas still feel
the effects of the past three
drouths severely. Chicago, Mil-
Fennsylvania Avenue and overlook-
ing too many profit opportunities
along Main Street. The Admin-
istration still has the confidence of
the majority of the voters. There
is no election until November, 1338.
Hence, there is no point in belly-

tention to your own business!
