Business Week, in one of its re-
cent issues, said, "The six-month
slide in business has ended It's
evident that a vigorous upward
movement is underway.
"The real question becomes: Is
business going to climb back onto
the upward slanting plateau of full
employment it occupied from mid
1916 until the end of 1913? Or are
we seeing nothing more than a
brief rally, after which business ac-
tivity will again begin to sag?
whether or not it's just rally
or a real recovery, the upturn has
now gained so much momentum
that it's hard to see how it can
fail to carry through most of the
remaining months of 1949."
The magazine goes on to point
out that the year-end will be a
crucial period. At that time, ac-
cording to the forecasts, experts
will drop, automobile sales-which
have been a very important factor
