I wonder if there are not a lot of people In this particular generation who do not know the meaning of hard times, a term that was develop ed and used In a time when it was a question whether there would be anything to eat or not, and not a question of whether we could have a new automobile this year or not Times, to be hard, have to be a lot different than what they are now. and we have only to look back thirty or forty years to realize what really hard times are. This slowing up period Is mighty good for business of all kinds. It is putting values where they belong, will put credit where they belong, will give us a truer sense of actual conditions, and not a time to be pessi mistic, not a time to carry the blue paint, hot a time to think the coun try is going to the dogs, but Just a period of preparation that in the end will prove worth while.
