Tbs effects of tbo drought, the demoralisation pf agriculture, the stagnation of Industry, the breakdown of trade, tbe Inability of so many heretofore desirable customers to meet their obligation! to the beaks, the Impair meat of pubUe confidence by and false rumors resulting to unreasoning runt, tbe abnormal depreciation of quoted security values eves to the moat wisely conceived Investment accounts, the utter collapse of reel estate values U these things have occurred on a nationwide and worldwide scale with unprecedented severity. "The effects of every one of them have smiled the banks with destructive forces because they are of the very essence of a banks economic substanoe.

The Outlook for BmSmm "Consequently, if we retain the same purchasing power la this country, it is quite evident that on the first upturn of business there will be a rush to replace that Inventory. In developing this graph. It has tome out very strongly that very llrd year ia a big automobile year. Tba biggest automoblla year was 112 when 4,100,000 cart ware produced tor American This year the' Industry will produce somewhere between 1,800,000 and 1,900,000 cars. As 19SS la three years after 1921, if economic conations were normal wa could be ears we would do S tremendous business, because the third year la the time when the bnlk of tha replacing takes place." -lie' added' thit'iherbai'etactors at work that maka it uncertain how will be, instancing that big tha "money la being boardeu from lack of confidence and thla takes away some purchasing powsr that wa would otherwise have, while family budgets are beO cut pn account of changes In income conditions, which again means that purchasing power for the antomobUe, like a good many other things, wlU be knocked down." As a result, la said. It was necessary to measure what statistically would be a big year against a practical consideration of the curtailment of expend!-torse which la going on and determine how big tfce year win be under these circumstances. "From a long haul standpoint re gardleas of how many automobUea are sold In 1932, at are storing np big business tor the future," Mr. Grant aald. "There wUl be fewer automobiles sold in 1921 than will go to the scrap heap. With out of the Inventory, nine percent more gasoline was need np to August 1. 1931, than , waa used la 1930. With fewer an-- ! tomobiles, Uj people must have been runnll. them faster and longer to consume the additional gasoline. Thla means that we have ome 22,000,000 people working bard to make a fine business tor ear Industry when ther Is an economic recovery Ne Fain optimism am not 1 attempting to ereate any false optimism I am not speaking without a statistical background. Using tha besk sense we can, we have drawn ct. .elation. from the figures wa have, and 1 am willing to maka the statement that aa far as the conduct of our business tor the first half of 1932 Is concerned, we shall set the Indices somewhat higher than tha actualities of 192L We are willing to aet our advertising budgets and our selling expense on that kind of Indices. With economic conditions as they are, and since the obsolescence Is so great , and we have sunk so low In tbls i year's sales, we figure that the first I half cl 1932 must necessarily batter than was the first half 1 1221."
