Take the recent depres- siom, ‘it \\ppeared first among shoe factories, textile mills, and other fac- tories.

Those who ap- prehend that the bull movement in the stock market is at an end, might well. question whether recovery can in any sense be complete with the enormpous Diskributing Group 'stil to be heard from. “It is true, of course, that the stocks of the so-called trading’cor- porations show a substantial ad- vance. This is partly because of the stock market discounts the successive steps in business revival. But a more important reason, is that the trading corporations, so-called, with their immense national ramifications tend to part company with the smal- ler individual retailer and move more in harmony with the other groups. . “If you are a retailer, don’t get discouraged if your sales seem. to ‘ag behind general business. This is merely the-working out of economic laws, Your turn will come—and he who laughs last sometimes laughs aest. It you are an investor, I sug- gest that the bull market—so far as che long swing is concerned, will not finally culminate until improvement is general.

It is what happened also in earlier periods of business depres- gion. Farsighted executivies fore- saw long in advance, that this would be the first part of the country to weaken, because it is the home of the Manufacturing Group. “Then comes the next act in the drama of depression: '’ As the logical wesult of curtailed manufacturing, we get a slump in the Raw Material ‘Group. - When a shoe factory shuts down, orders for leather shrink. ‘When a textile mill closes, demand for cotton and wool dies -down. So the initial weakness in the North- east spreads to the West and South. The West and the South are the home of the Raw Material Group. “As traffic in finished goods and raw materials subsides, there is lessened activity for the Transporta- tion Group. The railroads fall into line on the downward march. “The tragedy closes with the last act, namely, the downfall of the Dis- tributing Group, numbering the throughout the entire country who are caught with high cost goods. The economic curtain falls on, a land sunk - in almost universal depression. “We have just seen all this enact- ed before our eyes. With the se- quence of events still fresh in mem- ory, a business man is blind, indeed, .who cannot foresee the pageant of returning prosperity. Manufactur- ing activity has been resumed.
