Merchants Optimistic On Future Prices And Prosperity
Paul Davis reports from a Mercantile Research bureau meeting in Burlington that no major business upheaval is expected in the coming year. Prices may ease gradually, values soften, and relief from living costs is anticipated as production remains key to restoring prewar price and supply levels. Government action will curb profiteering while preserving orderly price reductions. Davis remains hopeful about the year ahead.
