The most cheering fact of the present situation is the knowledge that banks are in strong position. Recovery, even to the most pessimistic, is no longer a myth or a rumor, nor is it merely psychological. Abundant evidence and proof lie on every hand tangible proof. With a return of confidence the wheels have begun to go round and a great many well managed businesses may look for a profit during this calendar year with fair assurance at least.
