Last Quarter Increases Presage Great And

Wilmington, after a good business year in 1910. looks
forward to 1871 with great hope and some spirit of
daring.
At the beginning of 1910, the city's four branches Of
business enterprlse-manufacturing, distribution, construc-
ton, and financing-found they were on the upward trend.
and this trend continued along a slow, even upward slope
until the last quarter of the year.
At that time National Defense began to play it's part in
Wllmlngtons business drama, and since that entrance on
the stage all other characters have worked overtime, won.
der1ng what would come next.
Finest Market Ever
Wilmington in 1941 will be the finest market it has ever
been for the selling public. At New Bern a S25, OOO,O 900
Marine air base is anticipated. At Marines a SIS, O0O, 900
Marine base seems reasonably assured. At Holly Ridge a
S~lO,OO0.0OO Anti-Aircraft firing base is rising with aston
lshlng %rapidity, and in Wilmington the North Carolina Ship
building company has begun the erection of a shipyard at
a cost OF S5,O0O,OO0. Here "a ships will be built in as manv
months at a cost of approximately AZ million dollars.
Figures show that from 1920 (when Wilmington had
its former shipyards) to 1880, Wilmington lost 3:3 per cent
of its population and that from 1880 to 1910 it gained az
percent of its population Exclusive of it's suburbs)
Greater Wilmington
Consequently we see that Wilmington today, once again
on the brink of a war-borne prosperity, is a greater Will
mlngton than that which existed during the shipyard days
of 1920.
There are business men, wringing their hands, who are
saying, But where will we be when it, all over % and others
who are saying, 1--WE don't know where we are going, but
we are on our way, but the majority of the business leaders
OF Wilmington see a fair degree of permanency in these
projects Which promises a new and greater Wilmington.

camp is apparent but of such wide
scope that few people appreciate
its immensely. 1t has crowded
houses and homes with workmen;
it has filled retail trade stores
with crowds sporting more money
than many of them have had since
the boom days proceeding the past
depression; it has brought a de-
mand for additional housing.
Few can visualize the effect the
camp will nav on the city when
it is completed and occupied by
20, 900 selectees, young men from
all over the nation, from all walks
of life, from all strata of society.
Many speak of the problems
that will arise; others see those
problems" handled through fore
sight and e even more clearly
that the presence of 20, 900 men
at a camp from which they will
naturally gravitate to Wilmington
for the entertainment, purchases
and recreation and who will have
a purchasing power of more than
a half-million dollars monthly is
going to mean a new and greater
market for goods, supplies and
services in Wilmington.
Advertising
AS an advertising medium the
camp is expected to have a ire
mendous effect. The q $1,000 men
who are to be stationed there will
come from all parts of the nation.

lectees they will be writing. home

ANTI-BRITISH GROUP

The extreme right in France
tends to be anti-British and is
more in fear of internal revolution
than German domination.
Some generals and many aristo-
Gratis of the former RENTER class
who lived on their capital in lux
ury or middle-clas prosperity are
terrified. it seems, of a revolution
airy movement which would over
throw their last hope of preserving
something for themselves out Of
the ruins.
There are strange. desperate
people in France, like the cagou-
lards, who are really fascists and
haters of democracy. They would
like to establish a dictatorship
with its heel well on the neck of
the proletariat.
There also is a strong royalist
clique working to overthrow the
republic, but the extreme left is as
anti-democratic and anti-repub-
lican as the extreme right. They
have hatred of England because
they think it is the strongest de-
fender of the capitalist system in
Europe, and that a British victory
will prevent a sweep of commun-
ism. which they anticipate as q
result of this war.
