TRADE OUTLOOK
FOUND GOOD
BY RICHARD HATTON

There was a distinct note of
optimism in the report Of the
District Of Columbia Bankers Asso-
cations Committee on Commercial
Trade Activities as presented to the
recent general convention of the
local organization by President
Victor B. Deyber Of the Second Ma
tional Bank, chairman of the COM
mittee.
It is worthy of note that this
committee is divided into special
sections and that the ground cover
ed is specifically surveyed by these
subdivisions.
Real estate and building matters
are reported on by a committee Of
which Howard Moran Is chairman
comprised Of the following A. NJ.
Neyius., John M. Riordon and Fred
Mckee,
Finance and Mortgage Companies
are covered by a committee com
posed Of Fernand Petit, chairman.
and H., @. Hoskinson, G. D. Boyer
and James M. Badon. l.. A.
Slaughter is chairman of the com
mittee on Automotive Trade and
Finance with B. A. Bowles. F. p.
Harmon, jr., and H. L. Selby while
OF Robert v. Fleming, chairman,
and F. ]. Stryker, A. s. Galley.
w. w. NARROW, j. Frank White
and w. r. Lewis.
Chairman Deyber stated in his
report that the committee was very
optimistic as to the future condi-
lions in our city for q growing in
terest is being displayed by the
people of the country in their
capital City, which is evidenced by
the large number Of visitors who
nave been here this spring.
Furthermore, with the contem-
plated building program Of Con.
gress, which 1t is indicated will be
IN progress quite soon, the beauty
OF Pennsylvania Avenue, and its
surroundings will be materially in.
creased.
This building program of the
Government will be of great bene-
fit to the business interests and
the banks Of the city, as it will
give employment to all classes of
mechanics who are now idle, and
in addition speed up the business Of
material and supply houses"
One section Of the report is par
ticularly interesting for it states
that:
Department store sales for the
first four months of this year have
been slightly lower than in the cor.
responding period Of 1926, largely
due to a noticeable falling off in
March. but April showed a graft.
Tying increase over April Of last
year.
The report concludes: "In a pre-
vious report your committee called
attention to the fact that Wash
ington is showing steady gains in
Its volume OF manufacturing. In
the year 1925 figures compiled by
the Census Department showed that
the dollar value of manufactured
products in the District OF Columbia
was over $S0,000,0 900, and it is esti.
mated that for the year 1927 this
volume will be around 100000, 900.
It Is difficult to realize that Wash
ington is rapidly overtaking such
cities as Lynn and Lowell, Mass,
long known as shoe and textile
centers, but such. is the case.
1t is probably safe to assume
that within a very short time the
manufacturing output of Washing
ton will exceed 800 100000, and this
without the accompaniment of I'M
slightly building and ugly smoke
stacks to mar the city's beauty"

Jessica Enters the Trap.

Jessica was true to her promise to
help Mark buy a car, and on the
following Tuesday they went into
town. At her suggestion, Mark
bought a roadster of a good make and
what she designated as a "snappy APP
pearance." Its color was battleship
gray, and although he had bought it
second hand, the dealer told him that
it had been used only three months,
and was in fine shape.
He drove her home in it. and the
engine purred as quietly as a kitten
purrs when it is absolutely contented.
Jessica was delighted.
You've got a bargain, Guardian,

more ritzy than mine. BY the way

about your shack. How did you find

she turned to him suddenly, her eyes
shining.
why couldn't you drive me up

felt like dog. She was stepping right
into the trap and it didn't seem fair.

his mind to do this thing, he was
