PROSPERITY AHEAD
There is much comfort to be had
from the statement recently of Judge
Elbert H. Gary, head of the United
States Steel corporation, the greatest
business concern the world has ever
produced.
Judge Gary says a long period of
wonderful prosperity is just ahead of
the people of the United States.
When Judge Gary opens his mouth
he is in the habit of saying some
thing, and he never says a thing un
less he knows what he is talking
about.
He has been a wise prophet in the
past, because he possesses the ability
to read conditions and possibilities
as they are.
There is no reason why his proph
esy should not be one of wisdom in
this case, because there is no reason
why we should not prosper and everj
reason why we should.
Banks and financiers generally
state that we have passed through
our worst period of depression and
are now on the up grade, Only the
rankest kind of pessimism can hold
us back.
And who wants to be a pessimist
when every human instinct spurs us
on to optimism?
Let’s demonstrate our faith In the
return of prosperity by recognizing
the fact that it is here and by doing
our share toward its maintenance in
this community.
Let the watchword be production
wisdom in spending, and the employ
ment of a systematic course of sav
ing.
A proportionate amount of the
prosperity of the country belongs to
the people of this community.
Let’s get all we can and keep all
we get.
Other communities will be doing
the same.
