NEW YORK, Jail., 4, (/Pi—1The t
Nation’s business year was filled c
with contradictions, but its charac- j t
ter may be summarized in one short j
phrase. “A Good Year."
Reports gathered by The Asso- I s
dated Press from men in the 12 \
federal reserve districts familiar j |
with conditions in industry, bank- ! i
ing and agriculture show that 1929 |
set many new records in business
activity.
There was prosperity in varying ,
degrees. An exception was the
building industry. The year began
better than, it finished, a lot of cau
tion being injected into the econo
mic situation by the perpendicular
drop in stock Values.
This introduced in some quarters j
an uncertain note concerning the ,
future, but the prompt response of j
industry to President Hoover’s
"work program" caused a favorable
turn reflected in forecasts for 1930.
Those who believe this program
will be successful foresee an upward
curve in business.
Sunny, carefree clays, a
life out-of-doors ail win
ter. Summer pastimes ia
summer settings every
where.
