Agt.i Mutual Life of New York Building Phone Filbert 6S03 Philadelphia, Pa. THE STREET structure was still foltnd to be resting quietly and serenely on a strong founda tion of merit nnd good sense. There is an electric instrument whose metallic, sham, emphntic language was heard many weeks ngo summing up the year's blessings in so fnr as the market world Is concerned, Ilenenlh its glass dome the stock-ticker tells daily a tale that isn't long, the way it fells it, but that is thoroughly understood by Wall Strept nnd that carries an abun dant thrill when It tells things for which mankind should be thankful. For thp greater part of this .icar. nr at least until certain pool and clique malingers thought they owned the very earth itself, the ticker snld, emphati cally and beyond all dispute, that the country hnd prospered. Although It was. not openly printed on the narrow paper ribbon by which the ticker spoke, ouc who had a clean conscience and clear mind, Who understood, could mnke out, our prosperity has increased nnd so have our profits. There nre, of course, n great many things to be, wished for in connection with the industrial and financial situa tion. Many of these worries rirp in renllty merely fleeting shadowy prob lems, nil open to a sensible and intel ligible solution. The bigger thingR conspicuously pst cut are that the country is doing big' business nnd that big business is ahead of us. In our transition from a debtor to a creditor nation, we hac become the dominating power of the woild. In truth, the world is leaning upon us. We are called upon to feed, to clothe, an 1 give new impetus to thp great industries of the old world. So the financial world has much to be thankful for. As President Wilson in bis Thanksgiving proclamation four years ago said, "Our abijity to serve," furnish the only llmi tations of our power and grpness .is n nation from an industrial i linan cial standpoint.
