RECONSTRUCTION INFORMATION, 



The United States Council of National Defense has placed at 

 the command of the business world the information contained 

 in the voluminous collection of data brought together, classi- 

 fied, indexed and partly digested by the Reconstruction Research 

 Division. It also offers the services of the division in ihe pro- 

 curement of such special information as may be desired and 

 which may aid in the reorganization of industry and the resump- 

 tion of trade, or which in any other manner may promote 

 progress in reconstruction. 



It will chart all infonnation received from slate, county and 

 community organizations, keeping a digest of state reconstruc- 

 tion news. It has access to every important report of foreign 

 reconstruction activity, proposed or accomplished. Having at 

 its disposal reports from all war administration boards, bureaus 

 and commissions, it can supply valuable information as to do-

meslic price data and production estimates, wage data, labor 

 supply reports, foreign prospects, credit outlook, and price 

 tendencies which will be invaluable to the manufacturer and 

 business man. A vast amount of material from clipping agencies 

 having a bearing upon any phase of reconstruction is instantly 

 available, classitied, indexed, and ready for reference. 



In thus proposing to extend its service the council opens to 

 the business public probably the largest and most complete 

 assembly of up-to-the-minute reconstruction information in ex- 

 istence. Inquiries may be made by written communication, by 

 telephone, or by personal representative. Requests should be 

 addressed to the Reconstruction Research Division, Council of 

 -Xational Defense, 18th and D streets, N. W., Washington, D. C.
