Maybe too many of us are trying to walk through this business depression backwards. We are so much occupicd with keeping our €yes on the past that we forget to turn around and do some real walking. But if we want to get somewhere—and get there quickly— we had better face the front. The Star's advertising columns will show you that some Washington merchants have turned around. They are not only walking. They are trotting. They are so much interested in what lies ahead that they've for- fotten to look back. They are adjusting their prices for tomorrow—not yesterday.
