STATISTICS SHOW , STABILIZATION IS BQNGJFFECTED Harvest of December Reports Shows Upward Trend of Business. By DR. LEWIS H. HANNEY, Director of the Bureau of Business Research, New York University. NEW YORK, Jan. 7.—Already the December crop or statistics is begin ning to be harvested. We can now get a better slant on the trend of business than could the long range prophets who have been deluging us v-ith forecasts for 1924. For one thing, there is the month’s record of business births and deaths. I will confess that the rather ominous growth in failures in October and November worried me somewhat, and I awaited the December reports with concern. Better Business Expected Rarely does the volume of new enterprises rise sharply two months in succession unless better business is ir_ prospect. Almost never does it so rise at the same time failures are de creasing unless the outlook is bright. Other data are furnished by the incexes of prices and interest rates The Dun index of wholesale prices showed a small decline of only five tenths of a percent in December. That suggests a price level which Is practically stationary. All this indicates that the long fall in prices which began last April has ended and been followed by a series of narrow fluctuations that r.'tan stabilization. Anyhow, for the present we have plenty of easy money, which means clear business skies. Whoever heard of anything but better business with rrices firm to rising and money growing easier? On the production side comes a trusty index of business in the shape of pig iron production. Beginning in July, the average daily production of that basic metal declined steadily .through November. It has traced the business cycle accurately. In December ,the average daily production of pig iron was 94,225 tons. That figure is a little less than in November, but December is usually and normally on a considerably smaller daily basis. Tig Iron Output Increases In a word, for the first time for five months the rate of production of our most important metal moved upward. All the figures I have mentioned show that last month industry and finance were just about where they were in December. 1922. They have fallen from the peak of last spring, and are now stabilizing at last year's fairly big level. When the probable upturn gets under way, therefore. it is likely to take us higher than any point in 1923, for we will be starting from a pretty high level.

ENGRAVING FIRM IS ANTICIPATING PROSPEROUSYEAR Company Expects Current Year to Yield Much to Business Generally, With an enviable reputation as the result of years of work well and successfully done, the Patterson Engraving Company stands at the threshold of what promises to he the greatest year in their history, according to C. A. Patterson, partner In the firm. "While most of our business,’’ says Mr. Patterson, "lies in the large commercial accounts in Indianapolis, we do a great amount of work for Arms over the State and in all States in the Union. We do a great deal of house organ and catalogue work.” "We are equipped as completely and niodernly as It Is possible. We are prepared to take care of every stage of the work, from the photography to the engraving itself, every process being taken care of In our owr| plant. It is very necessary. We do every kind of work in any desired color. For the past few months there has been a great use of color, as It has been found to have a very definite appeal when used artistically." “We feel that our business is a barometer for business in general and would therefore predict a healthy condition in general business circles during this year. Our business, one of the oldest of its kind in this part of the country, has held fast to the principles of giving the customer as much service as possible and to deliver only jobs that we feel are up to our rigid standard.” NO CAR STRONGER TUAN ITS BATTERY Care of This Unit Needed in Cold Weather, The winter season is at hand, the time of the year when the motorist will have a lot of trouble of one kind and nonther unless he gives his car some really needed attention. For Instance, much of the freezing of batteries could he prevented if the car owners took pains to follow a few rules and have their batteries tested to see whether they were charging as heavily as they should. The first thing to do if a battery is weak is to have it charged. It has been proved without question that a weak battery will freeze much quicker than a strong one. In*the shortened daylight period in the winter months, it is necessary for the motorist to use his lights more. This has a tendency to weaken the toattery, and for this reason a driver should turn off his bright lights when

starting, as this will help to minimize the strain. As C. A. Colvin of the Colvin Battery Company, on Maryland St., says, "it never pays to buy a cheap battery, for it will not hold up, even under the very best of running conditions, to say nothing of running under the perverse conditions accompanying the winter months.” "We are putting out batteries with a positive guarantee which we absolutely live up to— w% can afford to guarantee our batteries, for they are scientifically constructed of the very best materials. Not only are we distributing k lot In Indianapolis, but we are sending them all over the State and to other States. No matter how beautiful a car may be, no matter how sturdy It may be, It will givp no more service than its battery—fdr there you have the motive power—so see that yj>u use only the best.” CARDS IMPORTANT IN ADVERTISING Attractiveness Being Recognized by Merchants, Window cards, show cards, painted signs of varied us, descriptions have come to play a larger place in the field of selling merchandise. There Is the direct appeal, first to eye, then to the mind that cannot be achieved as readily and with as little expenditure in any way. other than by signs. However, to be effective as a medium, these cards and signs must be attractive, follow sound principles of advertising and be artistically prepared. B. Boaz, 13 Pembroke Arcade says ’to be effective a sign must demand Instant attention and that the reaction must be pleasing—it Is not enough just to attract the attention, it is just as necessary to secure the interest of the observer." Mr. Boaz reports a very heavy holiday trade and brisk business Is expected throughout the entire year. He Is especially qualified to take care of all kinds of sign and show card work, for he , has made a very thorough study of the scientific principles of writing copy as well as artistically liisplaying It and Is thus qualified to give authentic advice on any problem that might arise. Mr. Boaz conducts classes at the John Herron Art School, in addition to taking care of his own business.
