WHEN YOU BUY ON PRICE you can never be sure: It's unwise to pay too much, but it is
·worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money—that's all: but when you pay too little you sometimes lose everything, be- cause the thing you bought is incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can't be done! If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will ⠀ have enough to buy quality.
