SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months .50 Bright Outlook For 1939 Almost without exception the business prophets and economic soothsayers are predicting that 1939 will be the best year for business that this country has seen since 1929. Col. Leonard P. Avres. vice- president of the Cleveland Trust Company, the most famous and the most usually accurate of these forecasters, warns people not to be too eager for a sharp upturn the day after New Year’s, but n rc, dir.^ c that after the usual seasonal decline in the early iror^b* of the new year, business of all kinds will begin to boom. The signs of the times are all favorable, unless something comes out of this troubled international situation to put the fear of a foreign war into people’s minds. The biggest boom is already under way. That is the building boom. The coming year, the prophets say, will see more new homes built than any previous year since the middle 1920’s. Industry is hiring more help. The number of unemployed workers has declined by hundreds of thousands in the past couple of months. People are buying more new cars than they were a year ago. The Christmas trade of the stores all over the country has been excellent. There is a new spirit of confidence in the airand in the minds of men of affairs. New capital is coming out of hid ing to finance great new enter- PI There is no promise in all of this that everybody will become prosperous overnight. There is a distinct promise in the business outlook, as the experts see it, that another year will see the nation safely past the ‘ emergency j Pe it°is to be hoped that the last few years have not got so people into the habit of looking to Government for help that they have lost the habit of fending for themselves. help stomach diceIt FO# t Without Lnxutvcs—and You H tat Everythin* from Soup io Nuts The rtrmcrl should d Best two rounds of food daily.
