I ' ~ THE CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK i . . , i j i .1 w.iiiim in jjiii-j " ? - Things are looking brighter?Uncle Sam may not have accomplished, as yet, all that he set out to do last March, but hie sleeves are rolled up, and there's a smile on his face. "Are we downhearted ?< No!" For Instance, when wo boarded the Seaboard'* Now York-iFlorida Limited for Camden last week, we were informed that there were fourteen curs on the train leaving New York and in the Seaboard Pullman in which we travelled the number of our fellow-passengers made it look more like mid-season than the first part of October, Tulking to a man the next morning while rolling through North Carolina, the good news was given that more horses are expected in Camden this season than ev^r before-. -And more horses mean more people, more business for the hotels and stores of j Camden, more sales of oats, hay mid straw by people here, more doing | generally. Take, just one.pther instance. m A litflo whilo ago we w4re in the sales room of the Huyek Mills, across the Hudson from Albany, N. V.J There were so many customer* in the J place, not , people just "shopping j around" but "cash customers"- men buying suits and overcoats for the Fall and Winter and ladies purchasing blankets and materials for suits ?so many people buying in fact that we commented on it to a saleswoman. "Why," said she, "it's been this way with us for the last two months; it mak.es us think of the days before 1929!" Business is what we make it. Let's make it good!
