Therefore, l estimate that i'm


Therefore, estimate that inn
provement is not yet general and
that the best is yet to come, when
all the Big Four Groups shall par
ticipate in prosperity. Those who
apprehend that the bull movement
in the stock market is at. an end,
might well question whether recov-
cry can in any sense be complete
with the enormous Distributing
Group still to be heard from.
ut is true, of course, that the
stocks of the so-called trading cor
porations show a substantial adj
vance. This is partially because
the stock market discounts the sue
cessive steps in business revival.
But more important reason is
that the trading corporations, So
called, with their immense national
ramifications tend to part COM
pany with the smaller individual
retailers and move more in har-
mony with the other groups.
eff you are retailer, don't get
discouraged if your sales seem to
lag behind general business. This
is merely the working out Of eco
nomic laws. Your turn will come
and he who laughs last sometimes
laughs best. If you are an in
weston, / suggest that the bull mar
ket-so far as the long swing is
concerned-will not finally culmi-
nate until improvement is general.
Improvement cannot be general
until shared by the millions Of big
and little retailers in cities and
crossroads thruout the entire ma
tion."
General business is holding it's
recent improvement. The index
of the Babsonchart shows general
activity 8 per cent below normal,
the same as last week.

ana nve stock producers. Second
there is the Transportation Group,
the railroads and steamships.
Third, there is the Manufacturing
Group with its automobile fac
tories, textile mills and the other
fabricators of finished products.
Fourth, and finally there is the
Distribution Group headed by the
wholesale houses, mail order firms
chain stores, and finishing with
the multitude of retail establish
ments.
Nov what happens to these Big
Four Groups when a business de-
preston hits the country? The
first to suffer is the Manufacture
ing Group. This is. partly the
result of financial stringency. Take
the recent depression, it appeared
first among shoe factories, textile
mills, and other factories. In a
broad way these are concentrated
in the Northeast section of the
country, and it was exactly in this
region that trouble first appeared.
This was entirely characteristic.
1t is what happened also in earlier
periods of business depression.
Farsighted executives foresaw long
in advance that this would be the
first part Of the country to weak
en-, because it is the home of the
manufacturing group.
Then comes the next act in
the drama of depression. AS the
logical result of curtailed manu.
featuring, we get a slump in the
raw material group. When q
shoe factor shuts down, orders for
leather shrinks- So the textile mill
closes, demand for cotton and wool
dries down. So the initial weak
ness in the Northeast spreads to
the west and south. The west
and south are the home of the raw
material group.
"As traffic in finished goods and
raw material subsidies there is a
lessened activity for the Trans
portation group. The railroads
fall into line on the downward
march.
The tragedy closes with the last
act, namely, the downfall Of the
distributing group, numbering the
great mass of retailers scattered
thruout the entire country who are
caught with high cost goods. The
economic curtain falls on land
sunk in almost universal depres-
sion.
1--WE have just seen all this en-
acted before our eyes. With this
sequence Of events still fresh in
memory, business man is blind,
indeed, who cannot foresee the pa
geant Of returning prosperity.
Manufacturing activity has been
resumed. The northeast well adj
vanced on recovery. The South
and to some extent the west are
looking better as theraw materials
group begins to struggle to their
feet. Car surplus has changed
to car shortage, reflecting and in
a measure the revival Of the trans
portation group.
"But the final stage is still be-
fore us. We have yet to witness
full resumption among the great
rank Of retailers who constitute
the final group Of the Big Four, the
Trading Group.

Wellesley Hills, December 2, 1922
Roger w. Babson today called
attention to a very important fact
in discussing the general industrial
revival.
depression hit the country very
much like storms," says Mr.. Bab-
son, "and just as they affect diff
ferent localities Of the country in
regular sequence they also affect
the different divisions Of our bust
nesss world in different degrees
and at different times.
"The fact that depression or
dinarily starts in the Northeast and
works South and West, finishing
its course in California, is clear
" evident from a statistical study
Of the situation. If we look at
the business world we find it divid-
ing itself into four big divisions
