STORE FOR
1923 SAYS BUSINESS REVIEW
FIGURES COMPILED LAST MONTH
SHOW THAT GOOD BUSINESS
HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR AT
LEAST THE FIRST FEW MONTHS
OF THIS YEAR.
The following ta a report ot the busl-
neaa condition tn the fourth Federal
Reeerve Dlatrict aa compiled by the
Monthly Bualneaa Review, publiahed
by the Federal Reaerve Bank of Cleveland.
Buatneaa haa discarded moat of ita
hesitating attitude-the familiar 1922
trade mark. In its place is a spirit
of confidence.
There are good things In atore tor
ua In 1923 if we know how to work and
look for them. Aside from the foreign I
situation there ta little tn the conditions outalde of business that will
prevent the continuance of good bualneaa; should a check develop, it will
ba due to conditions developed within JUelf.
In many waya this will be a critical
year, a year where effective management, aalea efforts, better salesmen,
more intensive (raining, harder and
more conscientious work will be necessary.
During the Inflation yeara when buslneaa farily elbowed ita way into our
factories, offices, stores, and farming
sections there was a tendency to slacken on thoae qualities now needed. Under auch conditions It was -quite natural that a change should take place.
It waa natural that peaple should try
to "get .by" with as little effort as possible; to form extravagant habits, for
prices to jump, for wages to advance
and efficiency to recede. It was natural for people after turning many
of our good old-fashioned, sound principles topsy-turvy, to experiment with
them and try them out.    ,
Many arc anxiously asking the question, "Ia bualneaa going td continue
upward during 1923 !" No one la fully
capable of ans-tferlng this question.
A Ipt of Juat criticism could rightfully
ba heaped upon the -shoulders ot anyone who woijM; .l""rve the courage to'
give a definite answer. Tebare are atiij
too many unsolved problems. Thp
flrat few months, however, seem,to be
quite firmly, established. There are
nevertheless sufficient forces at w6rk
to make business adopt a cautious attitude.
*******' a    -      «..;..*' — -«*.*• .  i
During the year, business will be
good or bad -as we choose to make It.
Aa haa been ably aaid, "Tho people
will make the year; tbe year will not
make the people."
Those conditions which might be cited aa favorable to continued prosperity can be Hated aa: employment almoat universal throughout the country;
Industries running at capacity, or nearly ao; Vioney and credit plentiful;
commodity prices firming- ored books
filling; purchasing power of the farmer Increasing; the railroads believed to be large buyers of materials as
year advances; large building program; and retail sales increasing.
Those condlttona which might be
listed aa leas favorable are: export
aituatlon doubtful; transportation improving slightly; fuel aituatlon unsettled; labor becominb scarce, A business
man in thia Dlatrict was asked what
was the trouble with present business
and how It could be cured. It la his
belief that the ailment la of an individual or class character rather
than a general one. He believea that
it can be cured only by the same old-
fashioned prescription that haa been
uaed since the beginning; two parta
common sense, one part patience, ten
parta. hard work, a little tee, shake
well and take a turaberful every half
hour from 6 a. m. to 10 p. in. every
day.
It seems a simple prescription on its
face, but It la big enough to mean tbe
difference between poor business and
good business for 1923.
