1925. Will Snowbound,
Prosperous Growth
' The year 1925 should j be a good
year for all business in 'the opi
nio" of, Walter P. Chryfler, presi
dent and chairman of the board
of directors of the i Maxwell and
Chrysler Motor corporations.
The present year will not be
a boom year," said ;MrJ Chrysler,
Ibut. it t will, be a year l of steady
growth
and
sound prosperity.
Why?
It should always be remember
ed.that the United States 33 essen
tially an agricultural country and
that when the agricultural popla
tion of the country Is prosperous
it is safe to assume : that most of
the -country is equally prosperous.
That is true because the farm
population of the' Natio constitu
tes a major market for fall manu
factured product. 1 1 I
"In a certain city inj the mid
dle west recently 15 young women
stenographers were released from
the, farm loan department of a
Federal Reserve Bank for the sim
ple reason that the- farmers were
not borrowing any mony They
didn't need to all j off which Is
significant. r j
"Most cities are behind in their
building programs, j That means
plenty, of .work,. II
"Road building is behind too
due to the increased use of the
motor car and truck.; This means
more employment. !
