Show AVERAGE MAX CAX HELP. Discussing the financial situation, A. C. Foster, president of the Bankers' Bank-ers' Trust Company of Denver, says: "All of us want to know what the average av-erage man can do to relieve the present pres-ent situation and prevent a reoccurrence reoccur-rence of financial stress next year. First: He can practice economy. Second: Sec-ond: He can work to his very highest efficiency. Third: He can avoid speculating, spec-ulating, especially on borrowed money. Merchants should not overbuy over-buy on borrowed money or hold their goods for higher prices. They should avoid excessive borrowing even though It means less profit. Next year labor will be more plentiful and more efficient. Commodity prices, cost of living and Interest rates will decline slowly but surely. Whatever our problems may be for the coming year, I am confident that they can be solved. We have the richest country in the world in money, resources and brains. The American people are equal to any emergency. |
