The New Ulm Enterprise will
publish Roger W. Babson’s
Business and Financial Outlook
for 1953 on January 1. You will
find it beginning on page. 1.
Mr. Babson’s 1953 Outlook
will contain outstanding Fore-
casts covering such important
topics as:
General Business
Commodity Prices
Taxes-
Retail Trade
Foreign Trade
Labor
Inflation
Farm Outlook
Stock Market
Real Estate
Politics
We are calling this feature to
your attention because we be-
lieve that every one of our read-
ers will find it of inestimable
value.
On December 27, 1951, Mr.
Babson definitely predicted: (1)
that World War III would NOT
start during 1952; (2) that the
Taft-Hartley Law would NOT
be repealed during 1952; (3)
that there would NOT be an in-
crease in corporation and per-
sonal taxes; (4) that the Na-
tional Income for 1952 would
continue very high; (5) that
commodities would suffer a mild
decline in price. These five fore-
casts illustrate the accuracy of
Mr. Babson’s 1952 predictions
and indicate an equally fine re-
cord for hi9 1953 Forecasts.
Readers who have had the op-
portunity of following these An-
nual Babson Predictions have
faced each new year with an in-
ner feeling of self-assurance.
We hope you will
have a most enjoyable
Holiday Season
and a
Happy and Prosperous
New Year.
