thfa week-end are thinking albout
their jobs, profeeelona, or husi-
nessee. Por two or three brirf
days the thonghta and cares of
this troubled world are being for
gotten. I have no intention of
breaking Into these hallowed
hours by emphasising the prob
lems facing our country today.
Rather, let me give readers two
cheeytal tacts about current bus
iness as an introduction to eight
resolutions for the coming year.
The two cheerfnl facts concern
the activity and trend of business
at this Christmas season:
1. ACTl'TITY. General busint,'s
is today 18 per cent better than
it was last Christmas. Early re
ports show that holiday trade has
practically equalled last season’s
big retail volume. Nearly every
manufacturing industry is now
busier than it was a year ago.
2. TREND. Last year, general
business was rushing downhill
like a runaway freight train. Six
months of lay-offs and hard times
faced us. Today, business is
swinging vigorously upward and
a year of good activity lies ahead.
