These figures show how the country
is goWing:
Income through transportation and
distribution amounted in 1890 to IL
billions; 1900 to Is billions; 1910 to
81 billions; 1920 to 90 billions.
Sixty billions, the cost of distibu-
ting goods and passengers here in one
Year, would solve Europe's financial
problem.
What will the bill amount to fifty
years hence?
In every direction growth here is
amazing.
When this nation was young build
ing was done by individual carpenters
and only one man in the United States
earned as much as 81 a day all the
year around.
