Big 1936 business year forecast by Ayers economist
Cleveland economist Colonel Leon ard Ayers predicts 1936 will be the best business year since 1930 and perhaps 1929, citing steady gains in employment, markets, and security exchanges. He notes durable goods production rising and credits sustained factory employment for the upswing. Henry Ford envisions fewer farm animals for food, favoring soil product processing and crop-based nutrition. The piece also covers War Department plane procurement plans and debates on steel labor and tax policy, with commentary on Roosevelt’s economic royalists speech and labor union strategies amid political tensions.
