The Washington times., 1925-09-11

A firm believer in the present
and future business outlook In
Washington is Julius M. Golden
berg, one of the most successful
merchants of the Capital City, and
one whose experience and success
in Washington renders his opinion
as to the city's commercial future
especially worthy of consideration.
THE outlook for fall trade in
Washington is fine" declared Mr..
Goldenberg today. I'm fact, the
entire business structure of the
country seems to be substantially
active at the present time.
I'VE have had the best seasonal
bus ness this summer that we
have had in three years, and the
demand is holding. and will, evi-
IDENTIFY, grow stronger as we move
from the summer into the fall
months.
1T is noticeable, > continued Mr..
Goldenberg, that the people OF
porous and they are not boarding
their money. but have been, and
are, spending freely for both neces-
stiles and Inquiries.
Obviously. this attitude upon the
part Of the public creates a strong
market and makes for more gen.
eral prosperity, for the example
spreads and the general circulation
Of money in business invariably acts
as stimulant all along the line.
1T has Deen evident for some
time that Washington is growing
as business community. That
is. that the population here can
and will support local business ex-
aus4 vn1 - 10
population naturally fosters the
growth of business in all lines.
There are many citizens 80
ristic enough to believe that
Washington will ever retrog,ade,
or even. stand still and this. in
itself. is assurance of continued
commercial expansion
There are many citizens of
Washington quite familiar with the
remarkable career OF the Golden
berg store.
Older members of the comnun-
ity can recall the beginning OF
the present successful development
Of the institution and the pro.
eressiv" merchandising methods
that brought the store to it's pres
ent place of prominence.
1t is quite in line with the
record. of the past for Mr.. Golden.
berg to say: 1--WE believed In
Washington and it's future when
the city was far smaller than 1t
is TO-DAY and we built ear business
10 meet the growth that we saw
ahead
1.-The response of the puhIi. 20
our efforts fully warranted our
faith in the city and we are to.
day building for even grea err
future than we foresaw some wears
ago
There is a solid basis upon
which TO rest the belief that busI-
ness will take no chances by ,on-
sentative and well-directe1 exD4n-
sion in Washington continued
Mr.. Goldenberg "In the first
place. the country has not come
anywhere near reaching it's maxi
mum production in any line Agri-
cplturally and industriai'v we have
done much but there are still
vast fields that have never been
touched and the great natural re-
sources of the nation have scarcely
been scratched.
AS the national development
proceeds along normal lines, as
other great cities and other areas
grow in population and in produc-
non. so must the Capital CITY grow
In importance and in population.
Looking farther ahead than this
fall Or this winter ii is hard to
picture the great city that Wash.
! ington will become"
1T is not necessary. however. to
/ wait for future DEVELOPMENT to see
what is called good business It
/ is here now. today.
'It will be in evidence tomorrow
! and it will flow on through the
fall and winter for the simple rea.
son that economic conditions war
! rant it.
THE record of the past few
months is ample evidence of the
condition of the city from an eco.
nomic standpoint. II is exception
ally good and l can see no reason
why IL should not continue and
show stronger tendencies as the
weeks and months pass.
I'VE must not forget" concluded
NJ. Goldenberg, Tin estimating the
future business development in
Washington a factor which is ha '.
ing a great influence upon the
present and which will continue to
increase in potency. This is the
