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

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. A drop in the

Checkthe Costs
Know How Much You Save
by Painting Now to Save Repairs
COMPARE the prices of lum
ber and paint. 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.
It's economy, then, to paint when
your property needs it without delay
and to use the best paint.
The best paints are scientific in
fofmula and preparation. We've made
them for 73 years to meet the
weather conditions in the West..

cost of living nnd prospect of steady
work is rapidly turning a majority
of those people into-ready huyors.
"In the faming field, bumper
crops and better prices promise to
class the fanner as a good prospect
He has bought very llttlo since 1920
and his accumulated needs sliouTd
absorb-a tremendous quantity of
farm machinery and supplies. 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.
"In 'the investment market, prices
of good 'bonds promise to rule
stroftg this fall. -As investment
capital accumulates tho interest
rates easo off, bond prices auto

increase, the non-taxable Issues will
again bo in demand. The effect of
commodity prioes will be more than
offset for the time being by tho
quantity of money available. Con
tinue to hold your bonds.
"Whether or not wo shall have a
reaction In the stock market this
fall Is not the point. 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.
