Babson Sees Chemicals AS

NV Babsonchart however, is made
up OF figures representing 81 lines Of
activity and gives 4 much broader
picture of American business as 4
whole. 1t is interesting to note, there
fore, that the Babsonchart is down
only - per cent from January l.
Yet, despite good business, good
wages, good dividends, people are
all at sea. The war and the election
have them worried sick. Too many
key people arc needlessly beWildered
they are like ship without a COM
pass or rudder. But l will make
prediction which may be of help.
War or peace, New Dealer or Con-
servative, business and markets will
be higher the day after election than
they arc now. How 90 ! figure that?
Because ii is only uncertainty which
is holding things back now. Last
summer the uncertainty of war or
peace threw wet blanket over
business. The moment wal was de-
clared people thought the situation
was clear ahead. Consequently, bust
ness and markets scared.
Answer by November Six
So today things are being neld by
uncertainty. BY November 6,-per-
haps before then-We viii know who
the president for l94l-45 will be.
Most people believe Democrat
would be bad for business; but many
also believe a Republican would be
bad for business. Considering that
the Democrats are the consumers
and the Republicans are the pro-
ducers, whichever party wins, | look
for higher market prices. Moreover,
by November 6, think we will know
pretty well whether World War No
II is to be an Old-faShioned blood
and thunder affair or just battle

means today just what it did Is
years ago,-mOIe business for Ameri-
ca. Also, peace means a boom psy-
chologically. 1t is case of tails !
win, heads you lose.
Naturally, it is hard for people TO
believe that better business and high
er prices lie ahead They feel that
every time they have tried to make
plans in the last few years something
unexpected has come along and up
set the apple cart. So they have taken
box seat on the sidelines. They
are kee1inp their money in the bank
or they are investing in low-coupon
bonds. They are not expanding. Yet,
if there is any sound basis for their
fears, they are taking just as much

could write a book-imagine a bar
tender of that era who could just
write!
Jerry Thomas was born in New
Haven, Conn.,, in 1925. His parents,
sent him to college SO he could be
preacher. But, at the age of 20, he
quit school to carry on an expert
ment to determine whether college
men could imbibe alcoholic liquors
in unlimited quantities. His conclu-
sions were in the negative but he
stayed close to the subject he loved
by becoming principal bartender in
a New Haven saloon.
In later years he became head
bartender at the famous Ell Dorado
in San Francisco where he invented
the Blue Blazer, then he went to st.
Louis where he invented the Tom
and Jerry. He tended bar all over
the United States, Central America
and parts of Europe, startling the
Europeans especially with his $4,000
worth of silver bar utensils and his
unlimited repertoire of mixed drinks.
