THE BUSINESS REVIVAL,


On every hand are to be seen the ev-
licences Of returning prosperity. In
manufacturing and in trade. in build
inc, in banking and in the increased
investment Of capital in all directions,
are the unmistakable signs of revival
in business. Such a condition is most
gratifying, as it will mean the employ
ment Of labor at advanced wages and
will in many cases bring happiness and
comfort where, perhaps, few months
ago. there was threatened suffering
from privatiOn and want. 1t will en-
courage bankers and syndicates to put
their money in circulation and it will
give the poor man greater privileges
and unexpected luxuries
This revival of business is due to a
revival of trust or confidence. Hav-
inc confidence in a greater demand for
manufactured fabrics, the mill-OWner
starts up his factory and sets his en-
plovees to work. Confidence in the
returning prosperity of the manufact-
urer and trader encourages the bank
eli to unlock his vaults and send out
the boarded greenbaCks on their busy
and beneficient mission. 1t is trust
between neighbOrs and friends and be
tween merchants and manufacturers
which restore general confidence
throughout the country and leads to
the renewal of business and the reStOr
alton Of ''g0od times.
Nov it is the trust which the people
have in each Other-it is because they
believe what others say-that Degets
their confidence in The NORTHWEST
ERN SUPPLY COMPANY and II IS TINS
confidence which laos placed the N. w.
! Family Supply Company at the top
/ among AfrO-American business enter
/ prises. People who were favorable to
| race cooperation have visited the
stores Of the Company, attended the
public meetings and heard the state
ments of the stockholders who have
/ Joined the company and believing
| what Others say, they have been led to
purchase stock and have bought sup
plies of the Company until they have
/ been able to repeat the beneficient re
suits and decide with the rest in say
ing that race cohesion and cO-Opera-
ti0n in business will do much toward
solving The uch-talked of race prob
4 lem and eventually wipe out Black
Law.
1t is a remarkable fact, but neverthe-
less true, that throughout the long
business depression caused by lack Of
trust on the part of business men gen
orally, there has been no diminution
- file confidence which the people
have had in the Northwestern Family
/ Supply Company.
The sales Of supplies and stock has
cOntinued-the results uneQualled-
trust and confidence in this company
have been of such nature that tenn
porary financial troubles could not
| disturb the onward march OF the n.
| w. f. Supply Company, because all
lfhe stockholders must eat. 80 you
lean plainly see that the n. W. f. S.
ECompany always makes gilt-edge IN
We strnents and loss is highly improb-
able The people have continued to
believe the arguments and statements
II made in regard to the N. w. T. Sup
nly Co. because they know that the
1 testimonials in behalf of the Company
will stand the closest investigation and
they have found in their own expert
ence and in the experience of their
neighbors and friends that the N. w.
r.. Supply company with its great plan
cannot he approximated because 1T has
gained hold upon the confidence OF the
people,
But in stock companies as in moth
ing else the people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive absolute
merit and the fact that the n. w. E.
i s. has stood its ground against all com
petition and never wavered, but have
remained steadily at the top, demon
strates beyond doubt the great posi-.
bilities of the plan.
New things have come and gone,
have risen and have fallen and are TO
