T. L. Lutkins, Jr., Visits Grand Rapids.
"Ted" Lutkins of T. L. Lutkins, Inc., 40 Spruce
street, New York, was in Grand Rapids, Mich., this
week. Mr. Lutkins had been in Chicago for two
weeks and he had also visited a number of other cities
in the Central West during this trip. T. L. Lutkins,
Sr., returned a few days ago from an extensive trip
through Canada. He found trade somewhat quiet
in the Dominion, as it has been in various lines for
several months past throughout the United States.
His goods are mostly imported, and therefore the
demand for them is steady and constant. He thinks
the Federal Reserve Bank System has not helped
business as much as its proponents has purported it
to be able to do. No banking system and no adminis-
tration at Washington can create active business con-
ditions and until those conditions regulate themselves
there is never a revival of trade. In other words,
Mr. Lutkins believes that trade and demand are not
dependent upon politics or so very much on banking
cither—trade working out its own lines independently.
His business has been fair, and the outlook is propi-
tious for better business during the rest of 1929.
