Business is better in Henderson
and is steadily improving', according
to men in the retail business who are
right at the vantage point from which
to make- accurate observations. Last
Saturday brought a volume of business
well above the average for some
months M and saw the largest
crowds in town that have been in the
business ; district in many a day.
One concern is said to nave re
ported ajvohimc oLsales last Saturday
not only better'than anything so far
this year, but even exceeding any day
during last fall’s Christmas shopping
season. 1 "4,
Another merchant said his business
up to this time in 1933 was much bet
ter than for the corresponding period
in 1932 and favorably comparable
with the levels of 1930 and 1931. He
said his, volume last Saturday was the
best for 'any day in 1933 except Eas
ter Saturday.
Other concerns, report varying de
grees of improvcrhdnt in their busi
ness volume, andfbelievfe. that there
is actually a turn in the’tide, with
a much better spirit and morale on
the part of the people than has been
evident in several years. The fact
that price trends are upward is a big
•push in., the craws of many retailers,
for thait means quickening purchas

It is barely possible that Norman
Davis (right), American Ambassa
dor at Large, was asking Premier
Ramsay MacDonald how he fared
in his discussions with President
Roosevelt when this picture was
made at Waterloo Station, London,'
as the British Premier arrived back
home after his Washington visit, j
the result of the cotton mills goihg
on a full-time basis. Other manufac
turing establishments have also found
orders large enough to return to full
'ime operations, and all of them are
hopeful of some measure of per
manency in the general trend of the
business cycle.
While President Roosevelt is not, a
miracle man, he is getting the credit
fer a good deal of what is taking
place, and more and more people are
beginning to feel the effects of tjie
“new deal" in their own private af
fairs. Observers estimate that there
is more optimism and hopefulness for
the future than has been noticeable
in this community in several years,
possible since the break of the de
pression late in 1929. A long way; is
lyet to be travelled, but the belief is
more or less general' that-the iide has
actually and definitely turned.
