We don't often look to poets to hand
out hard-headed business sense, but
Edgar A. Guest has penned the following
verses which certainly tend to put
crimp in the crepe hangers lament;
There isn't any business
Aren't you weary OF the cryI
Men have caught the gloomy haoiE
And they sit around and sigh.
But the hustler, have noticed,
Who has quit his easy cnalr
And is confidently working.
Seems to gather IN ais snare.
It's time to get the BUSINESS
It's time to hustle out
With mans faith in the future
Much too long we've scattered DOUBT
Much too long we've sobDed ana "hln

Now it's time for optimism.
And the hopeful shout: Let's gof"

Members Of the Automobile Trade As
ISOLATION in indianapolis certainly have
reason to indorse the poets sentiments
just prior to the final arrangements for
the State automobile show to be held In
the Playground pavilion March 6 to IL,
the most elaborate exposition Of motor
vehicles ever seen in Indiana and we are
leaving nothing undone that will add to
the beauty of the stage settings or the
comfort and convenience Of the visitors.
AUTO INDUSTRY
Is WAKING UP.
We thus wish to testify to the broad
domain Of Indiana and the rest Of the
kind world the automobile industry is
again to lead in the spring revival or
business. we did q pretty good JOB OF
reviv1ng last spring, but Old Man Gloom
staged comeback on US last fall. We
fully believe, with new low prices and
everything that we have Mr.. Gloom thor
oughly hipped now and headed for the
mat There is no bunk in our psychol-
ogy, because we are backing our faitf
with more money than ever before. de-
termined to Guido all former efforts.
We certainly are out of the ruts. We
are stepping on the gas and I now urge
all lines of business to join with US in
cleaning instead Of glooming.
when millions of men buck up, think
mp, talk up, Wen all wake up" This Is
one of the striking slogans used by the
ROtarians In their nation wide bill board
campaign. To this we are adding
fervent "Amenr % and I believe firmly the
spring auto show will buck things up
nightly. Similar shows held In other
cities have already had a healthy effect
on business. With the Indianapolis show
coming after the price cutters have done
their surgery and with the market now
stabilized at the new low levels. 1 be-
lieve we have q better chance to buck
I'D than other show cities had.
EVERY SIXTH HOOSIER
OWNS AN AUTO.
There is one motor vehicle for every
six persons in Indiana and it is safe to
assume every family In Hoosierdom Is
interested in the automobile and things
pertaining thereto. We really ought to
have a tremendous attendance record
this spring. Indianapolis folk have been
negr gent in their attendance and our
record is lower than that Of other cities
not so well Situated. I ask the motor
fans now to begin bucking up, thinking
up and talking up. Say a good word
for the HoosIer show. Tell your neigh
bors and friends you are going.
Let's all buck up. The alarm clock Is
ringing the rise and shine" call for
business, right now and insistently. Let's
everybody snap into 1t and Indiana viii
be wide awake by the Ides Of March.
