# Analysis This page is primarily **promotional content**, not satirical cartoon material. It announces that Samuel Hopkins Adams, a noted author and journalist, will begin a new article series called "Buck Up, Business!" in Leslie's Weekly, starting December 31. The text emphasizes Adams's optimistic analysis of American business conditions and industrial prospects. His first article, "The Stage Is Set for Better Things," reflects post-war economic recovery optimism. The page also mentions a contribution by Francis H. Sisson of the Guaranty Trust Company titled "Smile and the World Trades With You." The primary "joke" or selling point is the magazine's return to its pre-war price of 10 cents per copy—positioned as good news for readers during economic recovery.

Samuel Hopkins Adams HIS noted author, magazine writer and student of American affairs, is engaged in a careful survey of business conditions in the United States which forms the basis for a new, illuminating series of articles in Lesuie’s WEEKLY, beginning in the current issue—December 31. This series is entitled: “BUCK UP, BUSINESS!” It will embody the conclusions reached by Mr. Adams as a result of his exhaustive analysis of various key industries and lines of trade. Mr. Adams has found sound reasons for optimism regarding the busi- ness outlook in the United States. This in itself is a message of pro- found importance to everyone who is concerned in the return of prosperity. For Mr. Adams is probably the last man in America to let mere enthusiasm disturb his footing. His first article, which appears in Lesuie’s for December 31, is entitled: “THE STAGE IS SET FOR BETTER THINGS.” This issue of December 31 is the New Year's Number of Lrsiin’s WEEKLY and it is tuned to the keynote of optimism sounded in Mr. Adams’s article. For instance, Mr. Francis H. Sisson, Vice-President of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York, has contributed an inspiring creed for everyone who wants to hasten the return of good times. It is called: “Smile and the World Trades With You,” and it is worth cutting out and framing as a recipe for modern-day prosperity. Besides, Lesie’s for December 31 is packed full of a wide variety of other notable articles and pictures that will interest and entertain you. Remember: It has returned to its pre-war price.
