(Mr. Chaille, who is in charge OF the
indianapolis Industrial Center, with
twenty-eight acres of factory space,
reports it SO per cent filed, which
is better than at any time since
1880.
General Apartments, Inc. (B. M.
Cuniff) Department rental records
reveal a tremendous increase over
one year ago. Occupancies in our
500 units show only six vacancies
while at the same time last year
there were more than 100. The big
percentage Of increased business is
in medium priced rentals, The an
swer seems to be a little more con-
fdence in jobs. Another thing
which impresses us is the fact that
expected removals after election
have failed to materialize.
indianapolis Coal Merchants AS
sociation-BusinesS is off about Is
per cent from year ago. but there
has been a little improvement since
Nov. l, and the outlook is good.
There is more cash business than
there was year ago.
Standard Oil Company of Indiana
III. H. Akers, assistant manager)-
Because Of chaotic conditions in the
oil industry, we have not felt an
upward trend. Price wars affect the
industry and it would take quite a
bit of pressure from a general trend
to overcome instability due to them.
Mail Orders Picking Up
Beveridge Paper Comparative
can't say pickup in business has
affected us. AS manufacturers, we
will be the last to feel it. We do have
some nice orders in the of1ng, how
ever.
Em-Roe Sporting Company
(Charles G.. Callahan, treasurer)-
Our mail order buinsess has picked
up between 10 and II per cent since
the election. People don't seem SO
worried now that it's over.
Emerson Scheuring Tank Com
pany (M. R. Scheuring, treasurer
Our business has improved steadily
since Labor day. Companies are in
need of steel plate because, during
the depression, they postponed i'm
proving their plants.
Columbia Conserve Company
civilian Hines, PRESIDENT - l
haven't noticed any gains since cleo
ton because a business such as ours
always Stacks off bit at this time
of year. But, can say that bust
ness started to pick up in 1888 and
was even better this year. I look
for a slightly better year next year.
Van Camps Optimistic
Van Camps, Inc. &C. A. Nugent,
Office Manager)-Our business has
been exceptionally good this year,
showing a big increase over last
year. While it is too early to deter
mine whether the recent election
has had a good or Dad effect, we do
expect our current tide of good bust
ness to continue.
Diamond Chain and Manufacture
ing Company Guy A. Wainwright,
President and General Manager -
Business is not as good this year as
it was last. This is true, I believe,
of all durable goods industries.
Manufacturers seem unwilling to
make requirements and further their
investments. Of course, it seems to
us that all the government money is
going into the consumer goods in
dustrieS rather than into the durable
goods industries. This puts the cap
ital investment in the durable goods
industries in tough shape.
John Deere Plow Company
(Charles T. Mooreland, Manager)-
This is not our busiest time of year,
but we just have had a meeting with
dealers and secured a number of
fine contracts which make us very
optimistic for next year. Our bust
ness this year has been much bet
ter than it was last. We have
noticed change in attitude which
makes us look for an upturn.
