Business Outlook in 1949
A In year past, the Gazette Times will again
publish Roper W. Bahson's business and financial
outlook for the ensuing year.
V'e are bringing this article to your attention
because we feel that our readers deserve the best
and most accurate material available. Because of
Mr. Bahson's outstanding record for accuracy in
hill annual forecasts we are publishing this fea
ture to help you chart your course for 1949.
Mr. Bahson's 1949 Outlook wil contain 50 fore
casts covering such important topics as: General
Business; Commodity Prices; Taxes; Retail and
Foreign Trade; Labor; Inflation; Farm Outlook;
Stock Market; Real Estate, and Politics.
Mr. Babson, a pioneer in the field of business
and financial statistics, enjoys a truly remark
able record for accuracy in his annual forecasts.
His score for 1948 was ninety-one percent correct.
On January 1, 1948 Babson was the only com
mentator who dared to predict that there would
be no World War III in 1948; that "due to bung
ling of the price controversy Mr. Truman has a
fair chance of re-election;" that the Dow-Jones
Industrial Averages would fluctuate between an
upper ceiling of around 185 and a floor of around
165, and that commodity speculation would be
curbed.
Watch for Mr. Babson's Outlook in our issue
of December 30.

BIG VOICE IN A

helD With yOUr telepilOne Call have shown it can amplify sound at least 100
times . . . just like the vacuum tubes in your radio.
It is a brand new invention from Bell Telephone
Laboratories. It's called a "Transistor" . . . and
is so small you could hold a hundred in one hand.

2. A giant model lets you look inside the
Transistor ... it contains only two tiny wires or
"cat's whiskers" . . . touching a bit of the rare
metal germanium. It is much simpler than a
vacuum tube and does not require continuous
heating ... an important item in the 24-hour-a-day
service we render.
3. It will take some time for engineers to
perfect this invention. They're working ahead at
it and some day it may be used in central offices
and repeater stations up and down the Coast. It's
one example of how research helps improve serv
ice .. . making your telephone a better buy year
after year.

4. Such Inventions as the Tran
sistor and coaxial cable ... as well as
better day-to-day operating methods and
more efficient equipment. ..are developed
for Pacific Telephone and other Bell
System companies by a centralized lab
oratory and engineering group. This has
been working successfully for years. Com
bining efforts and sharing costs in this
way have proved to be much more eco
nomical and effective than if Pacific Tele
phone tried to make such developments
alone. developments which have steadily
improved service and have resulted in a saving of untold mil
lions of dollars to Pacific Coast telephone users.
