The Frontier received a letter from Dr. A. H. Corbett, who with his sister, Mrs. Wfilliam Swigart, is visiting in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in which he says: “Business is booming in the east, if it has not reached our country. I have visited Erie, Buffalo and Ro chester, New York, as well as here in Pittsburg, and find the mills working full capacity. They are even paying a bonus for extra production to their men. Se the outlook is good for an improvement in our country, where we hope to be about January 14'th.” The general outlook for business during the Coming year is the bright est that it has been for several years. If the reports from all parts of the United States can be relied upon, we are entering an area of pros perity much greater than we have ex perienced since 1918. The farmer is receiving fair prices for all his pro duce, the eastern manufacturers in many cities are working overtime to fill their orders, and the peoiple in general seem to be in a more prosper ous condition and are slowly but surely emerging from the disastrous condi tions that confronted them imme diately following the close of the world war.
