Amarillo 1938 Outlook Bullish Says Babson
Amarillo's industrial base should lift business in 1938 says Roger W. Babson in a special message. The city will see a slow first quarter with quicker activity later in the year in railroad shops zinc smelters oil refineries sheet metal works and chemical plants. Farm prices may rise modestly but farm income likely won’t match 1937 totals. Agricultural receipts should support brisk wholesale and retail trade despite slight pessimism. Early 1938 offers bargains in homes securities and retail goods. Get your share.
