A White Elephant ON HIS HANDS

'HAT should he

do with it? Here was his father’s business to settle up—a heavy job under normal conditions, made tremendously complicated in the

fall of 1931.

To force a settlement of bis father’s interests now would seriously embarrass his father’s partners. They were not in any shape to take over his interest. This meant that the son, as executor, has had to carry on in his father’s place to the best of his ability— which, he readily admits, isn’t

any too good.

What has happened? The estate is a long way from being settled.

Family finances are uncertain. The white elephant is still on his hands. A well-arranged estate plan would have made all of this unnecessary. Quick funds would have been provided to protect both the father’s and partners’ interests. A prompt, orderly settlement of the estate would have been insured. If you have a business to psrotect let us tell you how we can sene you. Or, is your problem the protection of a family? Or the safeguarding of a personal fortune? Here, too, Trust Service can be of great help. Let us explain bow.

Let us send you a copy of our new booklet, "Your Family, Your Property and Your Will, ” which discusses these problems.

NEW YORK, Dec. 80, (UP)—An undercurrent of hope and confidence regarding business conditions during the coming year was apparent in 1932 forecasts made today by business, iiufejsfrial and banking leaders of the nation to the United Press. -+-.'Tfiese predictions revealed that while no miraculously rapid return to prosperity could be expected, many businesses rapidly were getting set for an upward tide such as-has followed all depressions in the country’s his-

tory.

Apparently mindful of the scores of 1929 and 1930 business predictions that subsequently went awry, few leaders would definitely state as to when the “turn” could be expected : ome suggested that it may occur during the coming year; others hedged their forecasts with “ifs” and “buts,” while a majority stated candidly they they “didn’t know when im-
