PREDICTS ERA
OF PROSPERITY
FOR ILLINOIS
Business Building Program to Be
Inaagarated by State Chamber
Of Commerce.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-This confer
ence is the first where chambers OF
commerce of any state have ever
met to plan a statewide business
building program, President John
II. Camlin of the Illinois Chamber
of Commerce told those attending
the business building conference
here yesterday.
1T is altogether fitting that IA
nois should be the pioneer in such
a movement" he said. NO state
can boast of better opportunities
for expansion Of its existing enter
prises or offer greater induce
ments for the establishment Of
new ones.
Many factors combine to indi-
cate that the next ten or fifteen
years will witness a remarkable
growth in the business life OF our
state. 1t is the purpose OF this
conference to plan for making
business surveys OF the cities of
Illinois, surveys to ascertain
where going concerns should be
enlarged and to determine scien-
tifically the need for establishment
of new enterprises, in order that
we may take fullest advantage of
the coming era Of unparalleled
prosperity.
Il predict there will be no live
chamber of commerce in Illinois
which does not include a business
building section in its 1922 pro-
gram.
Valuable Asset.
LAS soon as the great Illinois
river waterway project is com
pleted we will add to our already
unequalled transportation facil,-
ties an asset the value of which it
is difficult TO calculate. In my opin-
ion, continued failure to open the
Illinois river is the greatest single
obstacle in the path of Illinois
business progress, and / sincere
ly hope that every chamber Of COM
merce in the state will get behind
our waterway committee and sup
port its effort to induce Governor
Small to go ahead with the work
which was ordered IS years ago
and for which a bond issue OF $780,
000, 900 has been authorized.
I'VE are fortunate in having with
US today the leading executives OF
many of the railroads serving the
state, most of which have speut
thousands OF dollars in helping to
build up the cities along their lines.
They are in a position to render
great assistance in the making OF
business surveys in the various
cities, and they will tell you how
they will cooperate.
The Illinois Chamber of Com
merce will continue in every pos
sible way to tell the story of Illi-
nois to the business world. Our
headquarters staff will assemble
facts concerning the best business
building programs and furnish
them to local chambers. We stand
ready to advise with industries
seeking locations and to furnish in
formation about any community in
Illinois. We pledge our fullest CO
operation in all efforts looking to-
ward contamination Of q statewide
business building program"

tractor retail sales for the SAM
periods show an increase Of ovs
100 per cent for December, IsaI
as, well as an increase over ts
