Watch Wages. Money Rates and
Profits.

There are three sources Of purChas-
ing power. The first source is the
income of the agricultural and indus
trial districts Although the farmer
is in business for himself, vet we will
group his income under the general
term Of wages. The greater the wages
of the country. the greater the pur-
cha sing power and 50 long as the
earnings of industrial and agricultural
districts increase. 50 long will the
motor industry and the building in
GuStry continue to grow. The second
source is the ability to borrow money.
When money is scarce and rates are
high. the production OF homes. auto
mobiles and other things is curtailed
accordingly. Tight money. like unem-
ployment, cuts down purchasing pow
er: while easy money, like good bust
ness. increases purchasing power. The
third source of purchasing power is
business profits. The business man Is
4 avish spender. When he Is making
money he spends il easily and freely
When he i not maxim" money he
shuts down sharply. Many business
men have not been maxim" much OF

any profits during the past year. The
outlook is that they will make more
Irolts during 1926.
Only Fly in Ointment.
The only fly in the ointment is the
installment business which has been
increasing so rapidly during the past
five years. especially in the automo.
bile industry. We have statistics on
banking. manufacturing and employ
ment; but we have no statistics which
show the extent Of the installment
business. We know that almost every
home has goods for which IL has not
paid: but TO what extent this cancer is
eating into general business no one
really knows. We do know that il j.
a disease which some day will re
4uire the patient Ia have a severe
operation: but whether or not the pa
tient can go one year or five wears
before the operation is Imperative.
only The future can tell. II is true
that fewer unsold goods are on The
shelves Of merchants today than have
been for many years: hui are goods
really sold until they are paid for?
fundamentally. does il make any diff
ference whether the unpaid goods are
on the shelves of merchants or in the
homes of the purcha sersn
In closing let me urge readers TO
give more thought to the great primi-
tive instincts of man. Statistics are
useful and my own bread and butter
depends on compiling and interpreting
them. But every one should realize
that The world is ruled by feeling and
not bV figures. one business man MAY
