of the large cities, but others believe
that the medium-sized cities are due
for a much larger proportional
growth. I am inclined to this be
lief. If so, the best opportunities dur
ing the next few years will be in the
medium sized cities, which have bet
ter available labor, lower rents and
pleasanter living conditions. The
heavy Increase in railroad freight I
rates and the development of good !
mads should also help th® medium
■ised city.
‘The automotive industry, which 1®
largely located in this section, con
tinues to thrive. Many talk about
this industry reaching a point of
saturation. Os course. It will some
day; but when that time comes it
will require fully as many persons as
are now engaged In the Industry to
supply the cars and parts needed for
replacements In order to keep the
market saturated. It la true that
some of the smaller companies will
be forced out of business and all
companies will tend to build lighter
and cheaper oars, but the industry
as a wholp will continue prosperous
for many years to come. This msans
much to Michigan, Illinois and In
diana. Nineteen hundred and twenty
three will be a good automobile year.
“This section tributary to Chicago
le also profiting from the great resi
dential building boom now on
throughout the country. I have
already referred to the cause of this
boom—namely, the exodus of people
from the cities to suburbs and the
country due to the convenience of the
automobile. .The first .Industries to
benefit from the building boom were
the cement and brick people; then the
lumber and steel interests began to
prosper. Now the copper, paint and
other Industries are picking up. This
sequence is invariably true, although
when the boom dulmlnates and the
turn downward comes the cement and
brick people will be the first to feel
the decline. The new roads in process
of construction are also temporarily
helping this section, although I fear
that some of the sections will not
feel so prosperous when the time
comes to pay off the road bonds
which they are now so freely issuing.
Furniture Shortage Looms.
‘The last great Industry to benefit
from a building boom is the furniture
Industry. After a house Is built new
furniture is always purchased, even
though the family moves from some
other house. Now. nearly four-fifths
of the furniture manufactured in the
United States is made in this ‘lndus
trial west.' I forecast great activity
for this Industry during 1923. There
is liable to be even a furniture short

age. Those who contemplate buying
new furniture during 1923 should
make their purchases at once. The
Industry is not ons that oan quickly
expand. It also Is very dependent
upon transportation, which Is liable
to congestion throughout the year.
Remember that there vxe fewer miles
of railroad In our country today than
there were ten years ago. Terminals
are becoming more congested every
year and industries which, like fur
niture, are so very dependent upon
the railroads should count upon this
unfavorable factor. This la also true
of the paper Industry, which is thriv
ing In this section and which is con
tinually becoming a greater factor
In Its prosperity.
T have said nothing about the ag
ricultural outlook for this section,
because I shall treat it In detail next
week when discussing the purely ag
ricultural states. Suffice to say 1
found it Improving and very mucli
better than a year Ago. The wiser
farmers, however, are going more
Into dairying and the raising of mar
ket garden products. Beans, peas,
cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes,
fruits, etc., are becoming the most
profitable products. Dairying and
poultry raising alone 'ls bringing
about $400,000,000 a year Into this
section.
Farming Outlook Bright.
“Because of the diversity of Income
’and the increasing profits‘l feel op
tlmlstc as to the farming possibilities
within reasonable trucking distance
of good slsed cities. When tpe farm
ers of this section get a broader
vision and realise that each prospers
only as the other prospers, then they
all can prosper. The great enemy or
the average farmer Is not the natural
elements without himself, but rather
those human elements within him
self. Creative nature has been good
to the farmer, but human nature has
been the farmer’s greatest obstacle.
“When the farmers eliminate Jeal
ousy they will start on the highway
of prosperity, but not until. ‘ The
best antidote for Jealousy is 00-opera
tlon. Yes, a greater spirit of co
operation Is what all Americans need
today.
“I found the great agricultural west
In better condition than a year
ago. Manufacturers and merchants
are well Justified in locking- for In
creaeed sales In this section during
19U. The Improvement has con
tributed to the Increase in the ba
rometer of business for the entire
country. The Babsonchart today
stands at S per oent above normal,
compared with 18 below normal a
year ago. ■ This la a great Improve
ment and the task before all of us
now Is to keep business up to Its
present flgurea
’‘Statistically, President Harding has
succeeded in bringing business back
to normal. Whether or not he can
hold It there only the future oan tell.
Much depends upon the agricultural
west, and especially upon the rail
roads, bankers, merchants, news
papers and other leaders of public
opinion -In this section. In the end,
as the great agricultural west goes,
so goes the whole country. Hence
the problems of the west are the
problems of all of us. As Jesus of
Nazareth, the greatest economist who
ever lived, taught His hearers: ‘The
prosperity or each Is dependent upon
,the prosperity of all ana we can help
ourselves only as we help one
another.' ”
