FARMERS GAIN A COOL
B ILLIO N OVER LAST YEAR
The farm income in the United
States w ill be a cool b illio n tlollors
greater than in 1926, an,I the d is tri­
b utor o f merchandise has a fa r bet­
te r market aw aiting h im than he
d id a year ago. the Chicago 1 rih -
une fin d s as the result o f a busin­
ess survey it has just concluded.
“ Throughout the summer o f 1926
production and trade were on an
unseasonably high plane,” the re ­
p o rt says. A cdllapse last Autumn
was inevitable.
“ Autumn in 1927 finds condition |
d ia m e trica lly reversed. The sum- |
n ie r production and d is trib u tio n
'vo lu m e s have been moderate. Some
have even said that commerce was I
exceptionally quiet. Certain it is
that there has been no overproduc- |
tio n , no excessive out-of-season |
d riv e fo r business, no saturation of ■
the consuming public. Wc have not
used up the supply o f fuel by over- I
d riv in g the m otor du rin g the sum- I
mer, and we therefore have enough |
in the tanks to run the machine at |
a natural rate o f speed throughout |
the fa ll. There is ce rta in ly sounds
basis fo r believing that the dis­
trib u to r o f merchandise in the eon- I
eluding quarter og 1927 has a fa r I
better m arket aw aiting h im than I
he had a year ago.

There is a strong belief prevailing
in automobile circles that the pub­
lic w ill not be kept w a itin g much
longer fo r the long-looked-for an­
nouncement from Dearborn, w hich
w ill give in detail a complete de­
scrip tio n o f the new Ford car.
That the big plants are now ir.
production o f parts is a w e ll estab­
lished fact. These parts, to a cer­
ta in extent are now being shipped
to various assembly plants, but not
the assembled cars, and everything
possible is being done to get into
q u a n tity production of the com plet­
ed car at the earliest possible mom­
ent.

Mr. Ford, however, refuses to be
rushed. He is aware o f the fact,
better than anyone else, that a false
start me*ns considerable trouble,
i f not disaster. He is personally
lo oking after every detail. He is

investors in electric power com­
panies h is grov/n to over three
million.
It is estimated th a t during 1926,
nearly four hundred thousand
customers bought -over three
million shares in the electric
power companies serving them.
All told, over thirteen and.a half
million shares of sto c'. have been
purchased by the customers of
these companies. These owners
are found in every walk of life.
Two companies clone r: wrt
nearly four teen thousand cus­

The movement toward customer
ownership i f industry find', its
largest expression in the electric
power companies because of the

high sense of responsibility de­

their dealings with the public.
Operated under the American
principle of individual initiative,
and directed by a personnel of
tested integrity and pufc’ic-
mindedne8S, these companies
have so definitely identified
themselves
i the interest of
thopublic, 11:. the structure of
America’s prosperity and prog­
ress rests to a large degree upon
their service.
America’s unequalled level of
comfort and prosperity, made

dant power, developed under the
American principle of individual
initiative, is the best of reasons
w hy th a t principle should be
pieserved and perpetuated.
