Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-31
1923 to Big Yearfor Great Falls andN Montana
= Is Conservative Opinion of Representative Business Men

fTTyHE NEW YEAR will be ushered in in Great Falls and all
i northern Montana concurrently with a glow of optimism.
Since the postwar depression first began to give way to bet
ter times there has been a growing feeling of confidence in
the states early recovery, but until the present year was well
advanced, the attitude of the business man and the farmer
was best defined as a Willingness to be optinistlc-they saw
evidence of improvement, nOrnaalcy was on it's way, business
and agriculture and industry were beating back-but the
arrival was not yet.
With the coming of the new year, there is a definiteness
about the improvement in general conditions that bring I'M
qualified assertions that good things are Immediately ahead;
in fact, in a large measure, have already sent out their adj
vance agents, as it were. Of late it has been difficult to find
a line of business in Great Falls whose representatives do not
believe that 1928 will bring recovery from the depression,
and easily may pass the mark ever set by development and
growth on any previous year.
Growth IN population, expansion of industry, important
Ibetterrent to stockmen and farmers, increase in business, and
the progress and development that attend the restoration of
coincidence and the injection OF new energies into a community,
are foreseen by Great Falls business men for the year 1928.
The Tribune wanted to know why this feeling of optimism
was so pronounced and so general, so the question was put
to a number of representative business men:
What makes the outlook for the new year so good? ?"
In every case the reply was as definite as it was prompt.
Every man interviewed believed that 1923 will be a big year.
On this page appear some of the interviews obtained. It
is a page of optimism emanating from local business men or
men of the state financially interested here, that could not.
nave been possible last year, the year before that, or on any
popping OF Montanas pralries was under way, there was a
general feeling of confidence akin to that now evident, but
with the difference that students of the situation now expect
greater things than has ever before appeared probable.
After the fashion OF good business men, those interviewed
avoided speaking in superatives, but in what they say there
is submission of proof vastly more convincing than any mere
compilation of adjectives. There is lack of elusive generalities
and a penutude of detail.
Summed up, the optimism accompanying the new year is
largely based on two thlngs-additonal resources and a-I
CURED knowledge. New industrial opportunities and the oil
development of last year account for the new resources. and
the Improvement of farming methods and introduction of
new crops reveal the extent which agricultural education has
New industries and permanency in agriculture1
combine to bring about what are in reality the great obiec-I
wealth and a larger population.

we are coming to visit your national

will combine pleasure with business
AT a recent meeting of Commercial
Club secretaries at Butte it was the
c~oncensus of opinion that Montana
would have a large increase in tourist
travel in 1928.
The wholesale and retail business,
we are told, is much better. One
wholesaler recently said in our office:
we will show a profit for 1922 and
we expect to make money in January
and February this coming year, those
months are always quiet, but the car
shortage, which prevented large ship
ments of wheat. will adjust itself dur

buying in the agricultural districts"

and data concerning five northwest

Prosperity Depends
on Participation in
Affairs Of Europe
BY STUART w. WELLS
President, Wells Dickey COMPANY

The trend of the bond market since
the depression after the war has been
upward and will probably continue its
Irregular course upward for some time
to come-harring extraordinary events.
We are now at the bottom of a tempo
rary price depression and starting up
ward to a point which is usually carried
beyond its proper point. when it will
fall off temporarily again.
These periodic swings of the bond
market are exactly like the price of Il
security traded in on any stock ex-
change any day-onir expressed more
sluggishly. A p~redominance of buyers
is gradually succeeded by q predomin-
accordingly. Low bank rates and sur
plus money make easy money an uptura
of the market.
1t is not possible to attempt an
analysis of bond prices. however. with
oct getting into the field of inquiry Of
what makes easy money" and what
makes general prosperity from which
easy money is derived. Whatever by
paths of economics we may stumble
into in our researches. we soon come
TO realize that the main highway of
vital Importance as affecting all of us
in whatever occupation. is that OF gen
eral business prosperity-and just now
that road has some bad chuck holes
in it that need mending.
l have consistently expressed myself
since the war that the general condition
of prosperity abroad was the ultimate
determining factor in u American
and northwestern business. Now I
think that many men not in a financial
business have avoided examination into
this subject, not only because it seemed
dull. but mostly because they haven't
understood how it affected their par
~ticular business. Even granting that
foreign affairs might affect them. yet
what is gained by an individual incur
ring the bother of keeping posted?
Congress to Heed Public Opinion
Answering the last question first
one mans opinion helps form public
opinion-it may be the one to affect his
political representative most. Ready
made opinions are eommonest and east

helps to the individual that I think
has ever taken place. It enables the
man who wishes to own. his own
home to obtain money from the in
surance company who, heretofore, has
specialized in loaning their money to
people putting up large apartment
houses and business buildings. The
result has been a tremendous activity
IN the building of private homes in
numerous states of the union.
Ibis will unquestionably be available
70 a large number of people in our
vicinity to allow them to proceed with
their biggest ideal-the owning of
their W home. The conclusion Of
this will be the Development of a bet
ter Great Falls, for we all know the
best cities are those in which the
resident is interested to the extent of
owning his own home, and along with
tnis 1t will mean the employment of
all classes of mechanics and the use
OF all kinds of, building materials, and
further than that. the use of mon

Will be circulated among the people Of
our community.
Ihe crop condition of the last year
has enabled a good many farmers to
ilquldate q portion, if not all, of their
Indebtedness. The prospects for the
next year, with an abundant amount
of moisture in the mountains and on
the prairies, look equally as good as
those of the winter of 1921. With
the amount of acreage no greater than
that of last year, we would receive a
benefit equally as good as that of
this year, and with the encouragement
of having had a crop this year it will,
no doubt. be al incentive for the in
dlvidual farmer to again make an in
vestment in his crops.
We can Afford To Be Optimistic
While, of course. many of the pro-
posed new enterprises which have
been talked Of during the last year
for the development of new industries
for our city are the dreams and am
billions of thinking men, they are also
man made plans and subject to condi-
tons that may not allow their com
pletion. However, while all things
point to their eventual completion, let
us look forward to them with a spirit
of optimism. The nan who looks for
of cold facts which point to the re-
verse, is dangerous to the community
for his enthusiasm might cause others
to jump at conclusions and make I'M
wise investments, but with the pros
poets that are presented to us here
we can well afford to be optimistic
and by so doing help to bring into
development the future growth that
our community deserves.
In all, I feel that the citizens of
Great Falls and northern Montana are
past the turn of the road and that in
the future, although we are very apt
to still find hardships and handicaps,
we will be better able to overcome
them by having had our recent ex-
p%eriences, by being encouraged by the
Developments which are bound to
come.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-31

Montana is steadily improving year
by year.
The railroads coming into our city
are doing a big and increasing bust
ness, which must necessarily center
a large pay roll at Great Falls. Our
flour mills are running at full capaci-
ty. The development at Neihart and
Barker must necessarily add materi-
ally to the prosperity of the city of
Great Falls. The Anaconda COM
pany's smelling and manufacturing
business is upon a firm footing which
insures a large and increasing pay
waiting q reasonable time until that
enterprise will be greatly extended.
These are things that must neces-
sarily put the city of Great Falls in
n prosperous condition, and in addi-
tion to all these we have a remarka-
Bile Oil development going on in the
territory surrounding Great Falls that
has already contributed very greatly
to establishing prosperity in our city
and which bids fair in the near future
to max us an over-prosperous COM
munity.
There are such great possibilities
for Great Falls coming from the de-
velopment in the oil industry alone
that IN cannot help but foresee the
establishment of a great number of
prosperous smaller towns in northern
Montana, and as a result, a great
increase in the population Of our city.
The oil industry is an industry that
must necessarily attract a great num-
Der of men of means, while it attracts
from even outside of our own country
a vast amount of capital.
At any rate, my confidence in the
of the city of Great Falls was
never greater than it is at the pres
tiyne
