J. D. LOSEKAMP IS OPTIMISTIC
SAYS TIMES WILL BE BETTER IN A FEW YEARS.
MONTANA WILL SHARE
Pioneer Eastern Montana Resident Says Times Will Soar, No Matter Who is Elected to the Presidency This Fall.
John D. Losekamp is optimistic regarding the business situation, especially in the next three or four years.
He says the country looks much better than ever before. He said yesterday:
"No matter who is elected this year to the presidency, if congress passes a good banking law to protect the banker as well as the depositor, we will have the most prosperous times the coming few years in the country's history, of which Montana will share a great proportion, as the east is now looking to our country with the greatest favor, and the passage of a guarantee law by congress will in future preclude the effect of panics upon the industrial and agricultural sections of our country so that panics will be felt only among speculators in Wall street where such things as speculations alone are fashionable.
"To me the country generally looks so much better that through no spectacle can I see a brighter business future for many years to come, especially for Montana and Billings."
