Larson, Mr. WHAT OTHERS SAY Dear Sirs: ' We ‘have just received from the National Sales & Trading' Co. of .Cleveland, Ohio, a letter entitled, “The Party Is Over.” . As the author brings out so many excellent, reasons why everyone should be optimistic of the immediate future, we believe' that you will be interested in reading a reprint which we give below. THE PARTY IS OVER “And it was some party while it lasted! Deflation is with us, and also with the balance of the world. This will lead to sanity and health. We all l:new this adjustment had to come sometime, so why feel blue and discouraged? We have been through the s&lnme thing before, and we will live-through this adjustment period also. & BANKS “We have a banking system which is holding up in fine shape, and we wx}l have no money panic. Consider what would have happened in the last few months without the Federa] Reserve System. - v ’ GOLD “We have about half the known supply of gold in our bank vaults. Compare this with the situation before the war, and the present situation of the European countries. . i CREDIT ¥“Every nation on the earth owes us money! Think of billions of dollars in stocks and popds held abroad before the war, on which we were obliged to pay dividends and interest. 'These stocks and’ bonds are now in America’s strong boxes. MONEY : “Our qo]la‘r is the only unit of currency in the world command- ing a premium in every market, and this situation will continue for years. it EXPORTS ““Our exports exceed our imports by a wide margi in ¢ gin, apd will do so for a long period. We have the coal which ever’y cx%“n"y must buy from us. England has not the tonnage to, keep up her pre- war exports. Our only limit is the mechanical means of dumping the cars into ocean ships. And we have the ships! A few of them may leak, perhaps, but we have the yards in which to build others and repair the ones we own. And our flag flies in many ports where it has not been seen for years. We have the wheat, the cotton, the copper, the raw materials, and the world must buy of us or do without. RAILROADS . “Our railroads have been given living rates. They néed every- thing from tacks to locomotives, and we own the factories which can supply them. BUILDING . “Ev'ery village and city in our land is seven years behind in their buxldlpg program. They require everything from chicken coops to office buildings, and these wants must be supplied. AUTOMOBILES - “The automobile and tire business is weal: in the knees at present. But it will recover. Autos are still in daily use, and ' the middle of any city street is as unsafe a gossiping place as it was six months ago. We will continue to drive cars of high and low degree, and remember, that every time the wheels revolve the automobile and its tires are that much nearer the junk heap. . ROADS “Road building projects on a Jarge scale are being planned all over the_bctmnt_gy‘} and will be put through. Optimism is always a better tonic for unsettled conditions than pessi- m, and just now when some people seem to feel it is a part of their duty 0 be howling about business depression, unemployment, wage cutting, high iving costs, etc., ete., ad infinitum, it is refreshing to find some person who s bubbling over with optimism and contagious enthusiasm. A letter which |\vas placed on the editor’s desk recently, written by the National Sales and Trading Co. of Cleveland, to the, Bemidji Box C ntitled “The Party Is FOREIGN EXCHANGE “If our foreign friends refuse to buy our goods or cannot do so because of the exchange situation, remember, we are years behind in everything in our own country, and we‘could live on our own fat for five years and put our own house in order, and get acquainted with each other again, and be all the better for it. PRICES “Prices are being adjusted in every direction, and many of ’ them are already dragging bottom. When you hit bottom you al- ways come up; perhaps a little disfigured, but anyway, you come up. SALESMANSHIP «“Salesmanship, real salesmanship, has come into fashion again. The day of the “order taker” is over, so get your feet out of the office; stop talking-hard times; hot-foot it up the streets and down the alleys and by-ways, hustling for business, and you w!ll find many concerns using your line of materig], of whose very existence you have been unaware. Keep your tail off the ground or it will be stepped on by some hustling sglesman on the way to secure an order from one of your own customers. GO TO IT! T «We have the money, the credit, the factories, the labor, the materials, the brains, the initiative, and we are nat_urally optimistic. Pessimism is a disease and follows poor cn‘c\llutl?n. Exercise is . the best cure for it. Go out after the orders. Put jazz, pep, ginger into your efforts. Burn the crepe and jump on the crepe hangers with both feet. Wear out the shoe leather. You will probably get some business, and anyway {t will help the shoe business. Forget the last five years and keer, your eye on i IF YOU DON’T, SOMEO! Very truly yours, BAXTER D.

Winnipek, Man.,—A rich deposit of nickel copper ore, 800 feet long and from 100 to 400 feet wide, has re- cently been discovered at Bear Riv- er by Dr. J. E. Wilkinson. PERHAPS YOU ARE, TOO A Friend of mine was worn out running around trying to buy a particular something-or-other. Hours had been spent, al- so strength and temper, and the . desired article z * had not been found. I asked if a try had been made at such and such a store. The reply was: “No, of course not, they dor’t car- ry such things.” I disagreed. We went to- gether and found what was wanted. My Friend said: “How did you know?” "‘Easy," Ireplied. “They advertised them last week.” Without seeing the joke, she said: “I never have time to read advertise- ments. I’'m too busy.” Perhaps you are, too. Many people are too busy to take time to save time, 5 trouble and money. They’ buy by chance—and hard work. 43 READING ADVERTISEMENTS IS MORE THAN A TIME-SAVER; IT’S A GOOD, SAFE INVESTMENT IN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BEST THINGS THE MARKET OFFERS YOU.
