Art Kempton says little but
boosts the town in every way pos
sible. Free shows for kids who
don't get out of line on Halloween
and for students who show schol-
astic achievement are examples OF
his boosting.
The Coolidge examiner., 1940-10-31

AS the guest of Mr.. w. s.
Davis at the Lions club meeting
and Bill Urton at the Rotary club
last week | realize more every
day why Coolidge can claim to be
the fastest growing town in
America with such a live group
of men boosting the town. Mr..
Davis, as most of you know, has
been district governor of the
Lions in this state and continues
to boost the club here and else
where. Mr.. Urton is program
chairman of the Rotary club and
President Matt Dodge says he
never worries but that the pro-
gram will be AL. If last week
was a sample, | have to agree.

Selected Stocks Up

Machinery and Steel
Issues Rise With
Few Others
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, April 27.-Specialties
led the stock market on a selective
recovery jaunt today that put favor
ties up fractions to more than a
point.
Machinery company issues were
out in front throughout. Steels did
better, along with a few rails, air.
crafts and coppers. Dealings were
light, however, and small minus
signs were fairly we'll distributed at
the close. Transfers were around
100000 shares for the two hours,
one of the lowest turnovers for the
last six weeks.
Wall Street was unperturbed by
Nazi Foreign Minister Won Ribben-
trop's broadcast alleging Germany s
invasion of Norway baked seizure
of that country by the allies. At the
same time, continued Scandinavian
reverses suffered by British forces
tended to restrain traders who feel
these setbacks are bearish market
wise.
The war influence, though, proved
stimulating for those machine COM
pany stocks which are expected to
benefit through broadening pur-
chases from abroad. Forecasts of a
jump in next week steel mill opera
tions was a sustaining factor, and
moderately optimistic tone in
business surveys proved helpful
New highs for 1910 were posted
for Baldwin Locomotive, National
Acme and Bridgeport Brass.
Rising difficulties were expert
enced by Chrysler, United States
Rubber. Montgomery Ward, Sears
Roebuck, Boeing. United States
Gypsum, Kennecott and Standard
Oil of New Jersey.
Bonds were higher, with a num-
ber of foreign dollar loans display
ing quiet strength. Commodities
were mixed.
Quotations in the curb were a
trifle ragged.

Recovery On Broadest
Scale In 10 Years Seen
By JOHN HOLMES
Swift and Company

frcSlueHC SWllE anu COulpouy
The last half of the year 1899 has
seen a rapid recovery in nearly all
lines Of business in the United
States. Recovery has occurred on a
broader scale than any advance
since 1929, and the levels reached
approach those Of the pre-depres-
sion years.
While the outbreak Of the war
undoubtedly had an important psy-
Geological influence upon the bust
ness advance last fall, it is certain
that most Of the increase in bust
ness volumes was directed toward
meeting domestic orders. An actual
increase in export business was
confined to very few lines.
The breadth of the business i'm
provement which has occurred gives
reason for the considerable conf
dence among ~forecasters that an in
terruption, which might occur in
1910, would be confined to moderate
proportions. There are, Of course,
many difficulties and uncertainties
such as the labor situation, political
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-02-11

campaign disturbances, and-most
important-war developments, any
one Of which might well dominate
the years developments.
In the meat packing business we
expect an increase in volume dur
ing the coming year. The increase
will be accounted for chiefly by the
return Of pork and lard supplies to
approximately the pre-drought nor.
mails. While such increases in
supply are factors having a de-
pressing effect upon meat prices,
they are somewhat offset by i'm
proved consuming buying power.

ming two months after England de-
clared war on Germany.
CROP CONTROL
Another factor generally conceal
ed to have some bearing on the de-
crease in customs receipts is found
in the planned control Of tobacco
crops for 1910 and the fact fertillz-
er companies generally anticipated
LQe COQIllCL Ill tuIOpS d4o pASpoASo
for it, using 10 a great extent Anne
rican materials.
In 1910, it is anticipated, there
will be a considerable reduction in
the amount of fertilizer used in the
state, for tobacco farmers will be
required to keep their tobacco crops
approximately 80 1.a per cent below
those of 1889.
Fertilizer men, anticipating this,
have not attempted to secure such
large quantities of fertilizer mater
ials for this year as they did for
1899.
Actually the receipts in 1889 were
the smallest in a five-year period
with the exception Of the year 1895.
Receipts for the last half Of the
decade were as follows:
1885 $4,000, 215.49.

There is one point about the in

RECORD VOLUME

Sales volume Of Aluminium Co. Of
America in 1899 was the largest in
the company's history, George r.
Gibbons, vice-president, states in a
year-end review. While prepara-
lions for war made the demand for
the metal abnormal, another good
year may be indicated for 1910 by
the continued increase in domestic
consumption, he suggested.
1t is reasonable to hope that the
relationship Of the price of alumni
mum to the prices of competing ma
terials may become such as to ex-
tend the advantage Of aluminium
into additional applications, he said.

Manufacture OF Airplane
Parts Proves Interesting

The use Of veneer wood such as
is manufactured here is not new.
1t dates back to the days of 1900
B. C. At the Metropolitan Museum
of Art in New York may bee seen
a mummy lying in a plywood cas-
ket which experts say dates as far
back as that.
But it's use has grown tremendous
ly in recent years. Once veneer was
used only where solid woods were
too expensive costly mahogany
and other expensive woods were cut
thin and glued to cheaper mater
ia1s for use in furniture. And that
was about as far as it went.
But in recent years, with the per
lection of better CLUES, craftsman
have seen the wisdom Of laminat-
ing plywood with the grain crossing
to give a maximum of strength with
a minimum of weight.
STRENGTH WITHOUT WEIGHT
And it was at this point the avia-
ton industry became interested, for
strength in the absence Of great
weight was wha. 1t sought.
And so today John Colucci, owner
and operator of the Southern Box
and Lumber company, is the manu-
