The verdict was nearly unanimops that business conditions are better than they were six ‘months ago and continue to show improvement. From ‘bun- dreds of replies received, 156 cities and towns ‘in widely scattered sections of the country, including large industrial centers, were'selected to secure an accurate cross section of the business outlook. If the 156 replies selected, 102 saw a general betterment in business, 36 noted improvement slow and 18 could see no change. Conditions were found to be better than six months ago in 180 localities, and no improvement in that period was noted in‘twenty-fodr towns. Ninety-two found the situation better than'a ycn ago and sixty did not. Reports on employment conditions ‘were in gen- eral very favorable. Considerably over two-thirds of the replies asserted that unemployment was either non-existent. or less than ten per cent, of the warking population. Tn towns where idieness was very ilarge, there was msually ‘some sgecific ‘con- dition accountable for the unemployment, Automobiles, ' building and: manufacturing were the lines of business reported as most active, in the order mamed. Sale of automobile accessories_ and repairs:seéemed to be more active than ‘sale of new cars. i ARE vou numc YOUR' s;fi;n ; If the om-niutian with which you are connoct- ed ‘offered a star to ‘the’ worker ‘Who ‘dufing the ‘month contributéd the idea which helped the most to increase income or decrease ‘uninecessary - ex- ”me, would you :the one to wear it or mmld it go to someone else?, v Without being. impertinent, we ‘want to ask you - right ‘now: how much you “lave' dae i\whquhe past month'to increase ‘the sal you done to eflnct F 1o ‘suggest anything ‘wotrld ‘eliminate terhh unnecessary exyen&e Have _you Ang’emd my short cuts?
