Prospects Bright
In South Bend as
Factories Reopen
City Fortunate From Business
and Industrial Viewpoint
as Winter Starts.

December looms up as a bright
month IN South Bend.
Both from the business and indus
trial viewpoints the city Is fortunate
in that with factories beginning TO
operate upon d normal basis and
more currency IN circulation. the
outlook is splendid.
Studebakers will resume full time
production during the coming week
and by Tuesday night between 5000
and 1000 men will be at work in
the plant. This resumption follows
a short shut down for the purpose
OF inventory. and other reasons.
The Oliver Chilled Plow works has
resumed work in several departments
and more men are being employed
continually. This Is taken as an en-
cOuraging sign as the agricultural
implement manufacturers have been
feeling the brunt Of the after-the-
war business depression.
In addition 10 the factories en-
ploying more men, South Bend banks
will distribute TO patrons a quarter
Of a million dollars in Christmas
Saving club checks. The phenom-
email growth Of the Christmas Saw
ings club department in the city's
banks is indicated when Il is realized
that the sum TO be distributed this
year will be far in excess Of the figure
Of previous seasons.
Successful Christmas.
