A NOTE OF OPTIMISM.
“ BUSINESS IS ON THE MEND.” AUCKLAND, August 19. “Too many of us are inclined to go about with a long face, but there is little wrong with business,” said Mr P. J. Crump (president of the Auckland Real Estate Institute) at the annual meeting to-night. The speaker added that he thought that a rational investigation of the financial situation would reveal to pessimists that they had not the right perspective. “The general opinion of our executive is that there is a trend to better prospects,” said Mr Crump. “Farms are being sold by reasonable men and bought by men who know what they are getting The man who sits in his office and says that there is nothing doing never gets anything. If he gets outside with a little studied optimism, he will find that there is always a little doing for the man who is looking about. Business is on the mend.”
