INFLATION LACKING IN GREAT EXPANSION OF BUSINESS ACTIVITY, FOUNDATION IS SOUND purchases was made possible only by the improved service rendered by the railroads. The carriers moved a volume of business not exceeded even in war time and the roads spent hundreds of millions of dollars in equipment. The total, up to the late months of the year, reached $1,- 059,440,000.. In addition} there will be carried over into next year orders, appropriations for which already have been made, which total $243,- 804,000. From Jan, 1 to November 1, 155+ 872 new freight cars were put into service and 3,371 new locomotives. On Nov, 1, the carriers had 48,571 freight cars ordered and large num: bers have been purchased since that time. Record Freight Car Loadings. Million car loading weeks have become so frequent as to be almost unnoticed and even before the har- vest period was in real éwing, in the first 42 weeks of the year, the roads loaded and moved 40,545,920 cars, an increase of 18 per cent over 1922 and 10 per cent over the record year of 1920. In addition to the expenditures for new equipment, the roads spent ap proximately $400,000,000 for other improvements. The effect of some of these orders can be estimated from the statement of the American Bridge company that orders now on file are sufficient to insure operation of the Ambridge plant tn al] departments for twelve months to come. The efficiency gained by the roads {gs Mlustrated by the fact that the average car movement of 22 miles a day of 1921 was improved to 22.9 miles before the present year was out, Building a Prime Factor. Building construction was another prime factor in the business situation of the past year. Building opera- tions undertaken In the year aro conservatively estimated to have entailed expenditure of approximate- ly $5,000,000,000 or about 25 per cent more than in 1922. Notwithstanding th's enormous program, it is est!- mated that there Is stil] a need for $8,000,000,000 worth of new edifices. In many cities, building was lim- ited only by the shortage of labor. Contractors declare that the sup- ély of labor in the 17 skilled butia- ing tra@es will not be sufficient to meet all requirements for the next two years. One of the main features of the year was the fagt that there was lit- tle seasona] slackening of building operations as winter approached. November permits issued in 250 of the larger cities showed a gain over November 1922 of 28 per cent and called for expenditure of $277,357,587. This extraordinary activity in building had an immediate effect on nearly every line of industry in the country. Building materials main- tained strong price levels but were nevertheless down from the extreme peak of the so-called. “4nflation” years. Artisans In Sharp Demand. Wages were at a high level even for unskilled workers, owing to the shortage of men. These wage scales were still further enhanced by oppor- tunities for overtime at 1% or 2 times the regular scale and by bonus systems. There seems little Iikelihood that wages or costs of materials will be reduced to any great extent in the near future. The full employment of labor at high wages, which has been gener- al throughout the year, has heen an- other potent factor in the enhance ment of prosperity. This has meant a tremendously increased purchas- sudden increases or declines and, in general, the price levels have been governed by supply and demand. New Buying Policy Effective. Among the causes responsible for the results obtained in business since last January, perhaps the most striking and important ts the change in buying policy adopted by distribu- tors and retail merchants, The burnt child dreads the fire and merchants were badly burnt as a result of large and high priced inventories left on their hands when the post-war per- jod of inflation gave way td de- pression. As a result, when they saw business improving this year, they declined to abandon the policy established in lean years of buying only for immediate necessities, In- stead, they bought in small quanti- ties and more frequently. Manufacturers were relieved in a great measure of “rush” times and “slack” times and were able to sys- tematize factory operation and check labor turnover. Merchants, on their part, took advantage of cash dis- counts in most. instances, had less capital tied up in stocks and were relieved of the danger of being left with large stocks of unsalable goods. Retailers made a tremendous sav- ing in expense through ability to do business in less space. Traffic Heaviest Known.

Dec. 9, 16; 23, 30, Jan. 6, (Continued from Page One.) | ‘ng power, which has made itself felt throughout every market. Twelve Hour Day Abolished. One of the most important hap- penings of the year from the view point of labor, was the abolition of the twelve-hour day in the steel in- dustry. Th's necessitated t em- Ployment of thousands of additional pmen. So great was the call that the uth suffered severely through the migration of negro workers from the cotton fields. Farmers all over the country were clamoring for hands during the har. vest season. Wages on the farms advanced to a point never reached before. On the whole, however, this was not entirely a bad thing for the farmer as many were forced to sup- plement men by machines with a consequent cheapening of production costs. The number of hours of lahor necessary to raise an acre of corn, for example, has been reduced by machinery from 39 to 6%. Farm experts say this time will be cut in half within the next few years. Wheat Growers Not Prosperous. The plight of the farmer un- doubtedly has exercised a major tn- fluence on ‘the business of the nation in the last few months. The agriculturists of the wheat states have had anything but a profitable year. Their problems still are un settled, although many relief meas- ures have been suggested and some still are under consideration. The plight of the growers of Potatoes and apples is but little bet- ter, Nevertheless, the farmers of the country, as a whole, were not unprosperous and some of them had a tremendously successful year, The secretary of agriculture and a former holder of that cabinet position. estimates that the buying power of the farmer increased this year by $1,250,000,000 as compared with 1922. Cotton growers received extreme- ly high prices, the corn crop was over 3,000,000 bales and the price level extraordinarily high. The gen- eral financial situation of the farmer, however, {s well {llustrated by the fact that sales of .automo biles in the rural districts have been heavy and showed gains over sales to many of those in other walks of Ufe in the cities. Livestock growers still are suf- fering from low prices for cattle and hogs but their financial situation has improved steadily while the ‘wool men have had a splendid year. Foreign Trade Improves. The export trade of the United States, while somewhat disappoint- ing so far as wheat and some other agricultural products were con- cerned, was exceptionally good con sidering unsettled conditions in Europe, For the eleven months ending with November, this country ex- ported $3,745.186,000 worth of goods and imported goods valued at $3- 504,500,000, leaving “ the United States a favorable trade balance of approximately $249,000,000, The trade with the Orient notice ably improved. Tho Japanese dis. aster early In September, instead of proving a check to American bust rness, stimulated production of steel products and lumber for rehabilita- tion purposes and buying of food and clothing by the Red Cross, sup- plementing Japanese orders, proved of aid to those lines of industry. Even tho American silk industry was not seriously discommoded Cor long and {s rapidly readjusted itself. Up to the first of December Jap- nese lumber orders from the Pa- cifle northwest had totaled 400,000,- 000 fet. Much of the volume of exports was due to the heavy purchases of cotton and copper. Germany bought an astonishingly lar amount of each commodity, paying cash sup- posed to have been on deposit by German firms in London and New York as a result of favorable trade in the period before the occupation of the Ruhr. Germany, Italy, France and Japan all bought heavily of electrical mv ehinery and equipment and this buying supplemented the greatest domestic demand the electrical in: dustry has ever known. Power Pool Development. The main feat of the year In the electrical field was the develop- ment of power pools. Through these arrangements, state and inter: state producers of electrical power were linked up physically although not financially, so that steam plants of one company could be made to supplement hydro electric plants of another concern in times of low water. In turn water power plants could help out steam plants In time of fuel shortage or emérgency. It ts conservatively estimated that the increase in power development has been such that this year 66.- 000,000,000 kilowatt hours will have been produced as compared with 45,307,536,711 in 1922 and 17,621,808, 893 in 1912. These figures do not inelude currents Operated by mines, factories, hotels and other plants which develop thelr own power or those operated by government or state institutions. Extensions and improvements in plants, transmission and distribut- ing systems during the year cost approximately $610,000.000, Gas Consumption Mounting. Expansion of the number of new customers for gas has been almost as marked during the year as for electricity, and the telephone com: panies are still far behind in their installations for new customers. Production of telephone transmitters inereased about 40 per cent this year. ‘The whole public utility field has passed through a period of expan- sion. Street railroads have spent hundreds of millions for plant bet- terments, expansion and new equij- ment. This has had a@ direct bear: ing on retail trade as it has been found that improved service on street car lines is directly e- sponible for increased sales in ro- tall stores on those lines. It has been proved that stores not on car lines do an average of 28 per cent less business per hundred square feet of floor space occupied, than those on car lines. Road Building Active. Improvement of highways pro- gressed a’most as fast during the year as betterment of rail and pow- er lines. Nearly one Dillion dollars was spent on roads exclusive of city streets this year and at least that much will be available for work in 1924. More sign'ficant still, how- ever, is the fact that this work Is progressing on definite plans which will link eventually every town of 5,000 people with every other by Im- proved highways. Passenger travel, both ratlroad and motor vehicle Increased appre- clably in 1923. Hote! men declare that no other business has developed so fast. Hundreds of new hosteiries * have been built during the year both in the larger cities and in summer and winter resorts and still the vol- time of transient guests is increas- ing faster than accomodations. The national parks were visited by more tourists than ever before and the early winter rush to F! ida and other southern states and to Californian. taxed the pascenger equipment of the railroads. This SOMETIMES ORIVES 35 MILES was an appreciable factor in improv- ing retail trade, especially through- out the west, Rents at High Level. Rents showed little signs of com ing down, Not only. were dwellings in tremendous demand but business properties were scarce and the level of rents was both high and wel) maintained. Real estate transactions in general were active with city property, especially in the business sections, showing strong and steady advances. Farm lands in many sections fell off from the high va'uation fixed on them In past years. According to insurance company officials nearly every efficient lite insurance agent now is writing from two to three times as much business as ever before. Advertising at a New High. Hundreds of sales managers frankly attribute the improvement in their sales for the year to the in creased ‘volume of advertising they have used. Advertising has had a dominating influence on commerce and trade throughout the year. Many concerns increased their ap- propr'ations for newspaper space from 10 to 25 per cent. The increase in advertisements placed with the nowspapers during the venr, it (s estimated will reach at least 10 per cent as compared with 1623, Many advertisers who put off. plac- Ing their business were unable to get their copy printed. This was es- pecially noticeable in the York distr'ct where the pressman’s strike during the early fall, which pur. tailed publication of metropolitan dailies, proved to merchants the di, rect results which advertising hal on their dally reosipts. National advertising gives prom- ‘se of being vier in 1924 than ever before and scores of associa- tions and individual concerns have already outlined programs of nation- al scope involving millions of doi- lars. For example, the Portland Ce ment association will spend $5,000,- 000 in continuation of its campaign of education in which 5000 dally newspapers will be used. This in spite of the fact that the cement In- dustry bad a banner year with a production of 120,000,000 barrels, Huge Sums for Amusements. The people of the United States paid more for amusements in 1923 than ever before. The larger part of this sum went Into the box offices of the moving picture theaters but the speaking stage, the circus and sports all recorded patronage of ban- ner proportions. The world serios baseball games had the heav‘est at- tendance in history and the football stadiums proved totally inadequate to hold the crowds. which desired to attend games. Indications For Next Year As to the outlook for 1924, there is seant indication of any lessening of either activity or prosperity. There has been no overproduction ar.d no overbuying on the part of either jobbers or retailers. Man: ufacturers and distributors are open- ing the new year with inventories reduced to a minimum. Aa a ro sult, they have Uttle to fear when they come to ask the banks for cap- {tal requirements for the new year. Their stocks must Inevitably be re- pleniahed and that will afford a cer- tain source of business ‘to producers. The automobile industry already has made material purchases. for 1934 flelivery which indicate that production will be pushed rather than relaxed. This activity will stiffen Gemand for non ferrous met- als, steel, and a dozep other lines. Labor which has been released from the fields and forests roads by winter wenther rapidly absorbed in other lines of| and| there is no indication that they wi!’| activity. Wages are high be lower except in specific sections and trades where the level has been out of line with conditions, Farmers To Be In Better Shape Agricultural conditions give prom- ise gf decided improvement, Th volume of livestock sales this year has.improved the technical position of the grower and feeder, Curtall ment of the acreage planted to wheat by approximately 15 per cent should have 4 strengthening ¢:! t and the gradua' adoption of orderly marketing systems, through coop- erative associations, is putting the farmer In a better position to giean the beat rosults from his labors. The more acute fears regarding natlovat legislation adverse to business seem to be subsiding. Conditions in Europe give eyi- dence of betterment and the volume of foreign trade seems certain to Increase in 1924 rather than dimin- ish. The banking position is very strong and there is ample money avallablé for industrial financing. Weak spots tn the business structure are being patched up. Price levels in the textile trades seem on the way towards a parity with those of raw materials, The fi production of the Call- fornia an! Powell oll fields im be- leved to have passed its peak. Price levels in general seem fairly sta- bilized, The most untoward pros- pect facing business as the new year opens is that of a strike in the bi- tuminous coal fields In April. Forecasts of conditiong in 1924 can only be based on conditions of business at present. These may be a thermometer rather than a barometer. That is they may simp'y show what trends exist at present rather than what conditions will be in the future. But from a survey of business at the close of 1 there is every prospect that 1924 will be a year of business ac- tivity and prosperity with full pay envelopes, full dinner pails and full cash registers. —————_—— DOUD COMPANY IN NEW HOME Night and Day Service And Paint Shop Are Added by Firm. The remarkable growth of the Lee Doud Motor Co., Palge and Jewe dealer, is evidenced by their move into the new garage constructed by Henry Wyatt at 424 West Yellow: stone. Mr. Doud states that the new bulld'ng will be one of the best service stations in this district. The service rendered by this company has made quite a hit in Casper, and in line with the growth in popularity of the Pa'ge and Jewett line. Lee Doud is determined to be prepared to keep. stride with ever increasing sales. One of the many features in the new bullding is a strictly modern paint shop, where the local dealers rebulit cars will be repainted and where a few outside cars will be given the advantages of the reaaon- able charges fc neat paint Job Night and d rvice will benefit many business houses, and indivi- duals who want there car washed or repatred while they s'eep, Mr. Doud says that the storage rates will be Jow enough so ear owners will not be forced to leave thelr cars out in the “cold.” * TR ae: roam es.
