orders and the trends Of recovery
noted since August, 1888.
"The main concern Of the present" !"
DR.. Moulton said, "is not to begin
boosting prices, because the moment
this is done you lay the basis for fu-
ture instability. II we continue to
increase the volume o. goods during
the next five years and keep prices
down, then we will do the most pos
sible toward laying the foundation for
enduring prosperity"
DR.. Moulton was introduced by
Corcoran Thorn. jr., president of the
Junior board. who acted as toastmas-
ter. Arrangements for the dinner
were directed by Otis T. Wingo, jr.
