tfffxm GOOD BUSINESS THIS FALL SAYS BABSON The Statistinn Gives Reasons for Substantial Improvement. Wollesley Hills, Mass., Sept. lGth, 1922. Roger Babson evidently Is not upset by labor difficulties and the threatened coal shortage. In a statement Issued today ho forecast - good business for the next two months. "Go after business now!" says Mr. Babson. "Buyers during theso , past two years have been following a 'hand to mouth policy. Everyone has purchased as little as possible because a delay has meant lower prices and a consequent saving. With the turn of the husiness tide, however, prices again tend up and both business men and individuals will make more money by buying ahead rather than, by following the more conservative policy. An an ajsls of 76 basic materials for In stance shows that 48. are higher THE ONTARIO ARGUS, ONTARIO, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 1922 today than they were a year tgo, 24 are lower than a year ago, while 4. comuiQdltlcs show no change. Price Increase will be felt most on the raw materials that have been completely deflated, but finished goods in practically all lines will show some strengthening during the next few mpnths. "It is particularly important that rotall merchants fully grasp this change in the situation. They must turn with the tide. The retailer should plan on a substantial increase in trade between now and Christ mas. It he does not he will bo caught with a shortage rather than a surplus of goods, and a transpor tation tie-up will make It difficult to get more on short notice. "This increase In business will be due to a combination of increased purchasing power and a change in tho attitude of the general public, In spite of the strikes and labor un rest there is relatively little .unem ployment at present. On incomes over $1000 figures show that 48 per cent of the purchasing power of the country comes to the individual as wages and salaries. This makes upthe bulk of the purchasing power upon which tho average business man must depend.

They will ' show you how expensive it is to let buildings rot for lack of the protection of paint. Hundred? of thousands of dol lars worth of valuable buildings are wasting today at a rapid rate, because they have not been painted when they needed it. Paint now. Save repairs. The utmost economy in paint ing results from the use of a high quality product at the time it is needed. The best paint spreads easily it saves labor cost. It covers a larger area per gallon than "cheap" paint. Bat most important, the best paint uiYci five or more years longer than "cheap" paint.

Tho plans of tho business world accumu latod during theso past two years will also be put into oporation this fall. "Tho combination of these several factors points to a merchandizing shortage. If I were a retailor I should certainly buy all goods necessary for Christmas trade now and insist upon early deliveries. "This general Increased business activity will lead In turn to the in creased business and industrial profits that are already being re flected in the action of the stock market. Increased profits, of courso mean moro money for expansion and equipment. Rents and money rates, in tho meantime, are tending grad ually downward relieving both in dividual and business house In tho matter of over-head. 'Banks have ample funds to- meet all commercial and investment requirements. In many localities money is a drug on tho market. The slight seasonal tightening will doubtless be ex- perleced at crop moving time, but taking the fall season as a wliolo money throughout the West arid South should come nearer to' tho New York market level.

Wo may get the break that the 'bears' are hoping for or stocks may climb suddenly, The point of Importance, as I see It, is the fact that we havo just turned the corner at the bottom of a period of depression and that the stock market has never reached Its high point until early in the period of prosperity. Those who own good stocks outright need do no worrying about the market. In spite of rail and coal difficulties general business as reflected in the index of the Babsonchart is holding its own. Activity is now running at 9 per cent below normal. IRONSIDE NEWS New York's Sanitary Districts.
