AT THE HOTELS

George e. Harding, a hardware sales
man, arrived in Los Angeles yesterday
after a business trip through every sec
ton of the country and in speaking
with a Herald reporter yesterday at
the Angelus, spoke enthusiastically Of
the return of good times. Mr.. Harding
said: "There is unquestionably re-
turn to prosperity, and I think | am
safe in saying this, as my travels and
contact with business men in various
parts of the country place me in a
position to observe.
Another reason for thinking that
prosperity has returned is the fact that
my line of business deals with what
may be called luxuries, and the slight
est financial depression is certain to
be felt by our concern at once, as last
year proved. But in the last month
our house has been rushed with orders,
and it is almost impossible to assem-
BILE the parts of our wares in time to
meet the demand.
Last year Travelled this section
with practically no results, but this
trip has been one of the most>Success-
full 1 have ever made TO the coast
In the east business conditions are i'm
proving gradually but in the west the
business men and manufacturers have
gone ahead with a rush"
