BIGGER n IT

That old time f~avorite, In the Good
Old Summertime, has an especial signi-
ficance this summer, with the nation
starting on the road to economic re-
covery.
1t is not apparent at this late day
what inspired the composer to write
the roundelay with its joyous Tilt and
e~lation, but if he were to write it today
all the world would understand and be
in sympathy with him. Artificial in
spiration from a jug of cider would be
superflous.
A business superstition as old as,
if not older Than, the summer song
maintained that when summer came In
the window business flew out the door,
The summer slump was a reality to
the business man because he believed
in it and did nothing to stop it.
This summer is a living refutation
of that superstition. Instead of slump
ing, business is experiencing a rebirth,
a revival. Summer is making business,
not killing it. 1t cannot take all the
credit, but nc one is in the mood for
quibbling over such trifles at such a
time.
1t is a good old summertime when
people are returning to work, when all
lines of retail business report appre-
ciable sales gains, when the building
industry gets its first substantial taste
of business in years and when money
starts to flow again.
