FACING THE FAC THOT FOR CALAMITY HOWLERS BY C. A. wc, A. Aan It is very peculiar, this human nature of ours,: because 90. per cent} of the men and women are yery quick to see the clouds of trouble and to miss the bright sunshine of pleasure. from an insane asylum that there is going to be a failure of the crops, and the multitude commences to mourn right away. ple like to be in trouble. And so it is that there has spread over this country an almost universal belief that we had to have a financial panic; we must have a commercial de- pression; we were due for # period of hard times; Hades was to pay and no pitch hot. tumor upon rumor of a shortage in crops, shortage in mechan- jeal production, shortage in. labor; in fact, it seemed as if the whole world going to be so dog-gon short that 18 liable to drop into r. ness W like the proverbial teeth, few and far between, Now let us look at the facts, for ne before in the history of civiliza- tion has mankind had a more roseate future to vision, and this applies to every part of the globe, as we could prove if we had the time and the space. But let us take America. Never our history has there been so much money, real, honest-to-goodness cash, in the United States as there is today. has been growing in alth by leaps and bounds, because /{ the best educated people in the world; the most moral people; the most humane people; people with more initiative than obtains mong any other peoples on earth. Then we have a country whose unlimited natural re- sources represent wealth untold. We were coming to the mastership of the wealth of the world before the war. For instance, in 1913 this country pro- duced $14,000,000,000 more than it con- sumed. Then the war came on and our production was hurried until in 1917 we produced $18,009,300,000 more than we consumed. We loaned to the nations of Europe in excess of $30,000,000,000. With the exception of some $3,000,000,000, this} money remained in America and was spent by the borrowers in our markets. It was not taken out of America—it is here still. Since the war closed hun- dreds of millions of gold have been sent into the United States by foreign coun. tries in payments on their debts, Then in 1919 our production was the largest in the history of the country. We produced more goods than we did in 1917, and we had an eager market for everything we produced, and all we! sold brought the money to America— a hole and) The prophets of cheerful-| hen’s| jductivity, comfort, happiness Pi tarenes ‘00D FOR! We have billfons of gold, silver, copper and lead to be unearthed. Ofl is being found in every state in the Union, All the resources of the country are com- ing to the surface, and we are going to be the busiest people that humanity fhas ever known and likewise the rich- est. The financial center of the world to- day is in New York. The center of civilization has passed from the Old World to the Ney, and now rests with us. We are t. We don't want to boast, but we want to know our {strength and our power. If any band of |bankers or politicians think they can hoodwink the American people, they have got a mighty sharp lesson coming very quick. The intelligence of the American people won't tolerate any speculative crisis. Honest business is ‘too big in volume, too intense in value, for the American people to be side- tracked by the speculators and promo- ters. i * Go to it—build and equip and prepare yourselves for a future rich in devel- opment, rich in production, rich in business and rich in profits. Good wages, lots of work, the profi- teer eliminated, cheerfulness, courage, optimism filling every-nook and corner of America. Let there be no hesitancy —hang your banrers on the outer walls and sound the trumpets of triumph— success is here. The fisgal year of the Ford Motor Company. ended July. 31, 1920, and in that year they’ madé 996,660 cars and $0,068 Fordson tractors, besides having unfilled orders. on file for more than 200,000 cars and many thousand trac- tors, which means an increase over all past production by more than 20 per cent, and next year their plans are to make 1,250,000 Ford cars and 250,000 tractors. Do you suppose that this com- pany is guessing? Not for a minute. Other industries are the same. Get a hustle qn. . Talk prosperity and act prosperity, Keep busy and you can’t help but enjoy prosperity. Spend your money—it’s no good idle. Do your share and make the next century a golden era in which all humanity will! be lifted up to a higher plane of pro- it’s here. Take this statement by John Fletch- er, vice president of the Fort Dearborn! National Bank of Chicago: ‘Phe United} States is far and away the ‘richest! country in the world. The aggregate! deposits of its batiks are billiohs mor’ than the combined deposit of all the banks in the world outside of the, United States. _We Nave more actual cash than any other nation and in the) last few years have obtained an almost unbelievable supremacy in trade.” Now with this vast accumulation. if money, how can we have @ financial] panic; how can we have a commercial depression; how can we have hard} times? | Impossible! There was naturally a reconstruction period which must follow after a world; conflict. After our own civil w: of 1861-65 we were ten years paSsing through what was called the recon- struction period, during which our money went down to 50 cents on the dollar. ‘We are going through the present ro- construction period inside \ of three years, and our money is at a premium the world over. ‘Talk about hard times; talk about-de-} pression—nonsense! Let us tell you that there is one hun- dred yegrs of intense prosperity right at the doors of the people of the United States. We won't have men and women enough to manufacture all that is nec- essary to meet the demand. We are producing more today than ever before in practically every line unless it. be shipbuilding, and that will come back. We have millions of acres untilled. We have billions of feet of lumber uncut. Boys look them over, it will be worth your while. They are here only for Saturday. The best the land makes, and none too zood for Casper..
