The Business Oüttook
Business seemed distinctly quiet dt the very
opening of the ÿear, but it made quite a little gain
through February. Transactions in sonje lines seem
a fittle slow compared with the phénoménal records
of 1926, but judged by the amount done in previous
years, they would seem high in the great majority
of càsés. Considering that agricultural prices have
fallen, the general amount of trade is decidedly
hopeful.
? «
a
Prices have continued to drop a little,, and
the record of business insolvencies is the highest
since 1922- And yet the fact that the stocks of
merchandise on hand are commonly small, is an
argument indicating that buying must keep right on,
to iheet the regular needs of the people.
Steel mill Operations, regarded as one of the
best barometers of business, were below the high
levels of February, 1926, but by the end of Febru
ary they had got hack to 85 per cent of capacity,
a pretty high level of business. Building figures,
though below those of a year ago, are running up to
high levels.. Figures—pf total building contracts
awarded in January through 37 states were 16 per
cent below those of -January, 1926, but ahead of
all previous records for that month.
The fact that ah enormous amount of business
is being done is suggested by the debits of the
banks in 141. leading cities. There was an increase
in these debits of Over four per cent for the first
eight weeks this ÿear, as against last year.
Certain industries may be depressed, ahd some
always are, but as a whole the American people
have money to spend. It is hard to see liow there
can be anything more than a temporary slowing up
of the business pace, which had been going at a
rale hither too ràpîd for financial health. There
will he substantial rewards for those who do busi
ness efficiently and advertise their goods and ser
vice.
W inning A ttention
is SdliBg, or the thing he is trying to do, but if
the public does not kttOw about mose goods or ser
vices, that experience and fidelity are largely thrown
away. People are likely to just simply pass such a
o«e by. One mttst have some plan by which the
notice of the people is called to one’s work, and
information is given about what one is doing and
offeTihg.
A great many people have failed in business
because they fell down at just this one point. They
somehow lacked the energy or aggressiveness to
go ahead and 'Call attention to their work. They
bad the idea that if they waited long enough, the
attention of the public Would be drawn to them.
But someone was always getting in ahead of them,
and much of the trade they had would probably
drift away from them.
•It is strange how many business concerns will
fall down m this way, in many, cases because they
lack faith enough in themselves to advertise their
goods. It they thoroughly believed in the merit of
what they have to offer, it would seem as if they
Would feel some enthusiasm alfont it, *ftnd be de
termined that jieople should know what they have
to offer, and be given full information as to the
merit of their merchandise and services.
