How to Avoid the women are Pitfalls of Prosperity There is universal agreement that America is out of the slough of industrial depression and is again climbing the heights toward. prosperity. Admitting this condition, it is of the utmost importance to every merchant, manufacturer, and, in fact, to every man and woman to know if the United States. as a nation, is standing on firm. level, high ground or is making a perilous ascent from which business must almost inevitably fall headlong, per- haps, with another “buyers’ strike,” and plunge downward again into the depths of depres- sion, unemployment and epidemics of bankruptey. As one financial writer sees it, American business is at a “cross-roads,” where it may choose between a safe path to continued pros perity or the more tempting climb to the dizzy heights of inflation and the inevitable downward crash. That LITERARY DIGEST readers may know just where the country stands and that they may know how to choose the safer path, the leading article in that magazine this week presents expert opinion upon present and future business conditions.
