A tremendous wave of optimism is
slowly but surely overtaking the
minds of most commercial leaders
and bankers in the country. Optim.

nese In the not distant future. On
till sides of us, in all business organ-
izations and in all business clubs and
liewspapors, one reads and hears of
the favorable changed condition of
the money markets, of the manufac-
turers and of the retailers. The titian-
cial condition is adjusting Itself sub-
stantially and quickly, quickly when
tine considers the gigantic volumes
involved. The factory wheels are be.
ginning to turn and immediately at -
ter January lot, and from then on,
the momentum of the factory will in-
crease rapidly. Retailers In all cities
have had a much larger Christmas
busimwo than they anticipated. This
will have a most important effect on
all industries, as it will mean the un-
hustling of merchandise which has
been bought and kohl at the former
high prices.
Many leaders in business and in-
dustry believe that a substantial
change of present trade conditions
will take place around March 1st.

monce operations about that time as
the history of same in the past has
proven this conclusively.
It is most true, and very happily
so, that commerce today is conducted
on much saner and more substantial
lines than was the case seven or eight
months ago. Business concerns are
not branching so actively and so
blindly as they did then. Of course,
the tremendous change which has
talon place in all branches of com-
merce have forced this condition, and
while it Is a great strain to readjust
one's self and business to meet the
present conditions, still we are com-
ing to a sound and substantial level
which will place us in a healthy, even
condition in the course of a short
time, we hope.
A most interesting talk on the char-
acteristic changes in business con-
cerns was recently given by A. Bur-
ton Hepburn, Chairman of the Advis-
ory Board of the Chase National
Bank, a part of which follows:
"So far the improvement consists
mainly in the psychological change
in the public's attitude toward bust.

enterprise seemed bound to make

pen to others; they were going ahead

Installed—Service as Heretofore
To my friends
and
acquaintances:
Do not confuse these prices with those of small replacement battery
concerns who usually offer you only rebuilt or undersized batteries.
These prices are for NEW STANDARD USL BATTERIES of the
STUDEBAKER — DODGE — MAXWELL — and owners of all
other makes of popular cars will find just as attractive prices and at-
tentive service at their command.
Our repair work is the best in the city, therefore fully guaranteed.
Above prices effective December 27th, 1920.
I am now located at

a position to handle
efficiently the selling

specializing in stores. I
will take the same
care and precaution
on all sales entrusted
to me as if they were
my own personal in-
vestment.
