“How A business?”
That's a common question these
days, one that has been on everyone’s
lips in the readjustment year of 11)54.
Folks in the industrially-expanding
Southeastern area have been par
ticularly interested in the business
trends. It is reassuring, therefore, to
learn of the predictions for the Fall i
quarter by 11 different business lead- <
ers," all of whom have home offices in I
the Southeast. (
Their companies produce 11 differ
ent types of products, most of which ■
the average consumer would use some
time during the year. Some are cau-'
tiously optimistic, some are firmly 1 !
Confident. j:
Here, then, are what 11 leading I
Southeastern business leaders think of ;
the prospects for the current Fall it
quarter : I .-

we felt that 1954 would be a rather
bad year in comparison to 1952 or l
1953. However, business during the 1
third quarter has shown a marked in-,
crease . . . and (we) believe that the
last six months of 1954 will he about
on a par with the last six months of
195:1. or considerably better than it
was during the first six months of
1954."

PONTIAC ’ss
The 1955 Pontiac is getting a royal welcome. “It’s
hot,” they're saying, “the hot car of the year.”
And no wonder! With its Vogue Two-Tone styling
and Strato-Streak V-8 engine, Pontiac wraps up
more beauty, luxury, size and power than a like
amount of money ever bought before. The price is
near the lowest, but the car is way out front in
everything that makes an automobile great.
The reason lies in the achievement General
Motors is now celebrating—the vast experience
gained in building 50 million cars. Research expe
rience that uncovers what you want and need.
Design experience that creates new trends. Engi
neering experience producing more dollar-for
