The Log Vol. 20 No. 02

Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.MARCH3 1938 • VOLUME XX NUMBER 2 Published by t'lhe Cham.pion Fa:mily" The paper far thi magazine is ma e in o r plant o t of wood ont t e fores s o~ North Caro • 1na.

The stock market continues lis tless a·fter one of the sharpest declines on record. T he Federal Reserve Bank 'for our own discrict. which comprises the states immediately around us, in its monthly bulletin tells us that "general business £~j led · to make seasonal gains in October and earlr N.ovcmber and a number 0f indicators are more unfavorable than f9r many months.:' Employment has slumped. In our own dist,t:ict there were 40% more commercial failures in October than in October a year ago. Fewer new cars 'lrere sold in Oct~her than in September. Building permits are declining in a manner that is rnore than seasonaL. There 1s a drastic cur­tailment in production of cott0n and rayon cloth. Therefore: the person wi!Iing to make an i.ntelliget1t sui­vey of the national s1tuatien x:nust admit t:hat something -has happened to bus iness. Few believe we a re in for a prolonged dep_ressioa.
