Business Booming
On Pacific Coast
Bv United Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2.-That
Pacific coast business has just pass
ed safely through a somewhat trying
crisis and has settled to a sane,
sound and gratifying heaItny plane,
with splendid promises Of steady i'm
%provement, is the opinion here of l..
O.. Rhoades, general purchasing
agent for the Southern Pacific rail-
way. Rhoades has just returned
from an extended trip of the coast.
He purchased from $15,OO0,O00 to
100000 of supplies each year for
his company from various points and
from nearly 1000 firms.
The era of extravaganza and
waste is now a thing of the past
said Rhoades here. "A reaction has
set in, and people are now getting
down to sound and economical living.
| believe the hard times we're due
largely to the unduly large profits
which had been made during the PEI
iod preceding. Profits are not 50
large now, but goods are selling
more rapidly.
THE country trade is growing
stronger. 1t is stronger than the
trade of the city. People are not
buying so many Injuries now but
they are buying the things they need.
Where before a woman would pay
SIS for a hat, she now pays SIS and
perfectly satisfied. In the
hotels the high-priced rooms are not
being taken. but the hotel register
shows that the number of patrons is
just as large, if not larger, than be-
fore. Tailors are selling less expen-
sive clothes, shoe men are selling |
priced shoes and dry goods
stores are selling lower-priced goods. |
The complaints of hard times are +!
now coming chiefly from those bust
ness concerns that are dealing n
uNuries. The man who is really pr J. ,
something finds a ready mr.
let for his product"
