Montana Merchants Show Strong First Half of 1920
Montana had over 10,000 merchants operating, yet only 43 commercial failures occurred from January to July 1920. Assets totaled $227,200 against $295,600 in liabilities, with many failing firms able to pay creditors in full. The report notes fair overall conditions, improved crop prospects, and a cautious but hopeful outlook for the second half, despite mining sector challenges and wool market uncertainties.
