fact of "going after" business.. The same conditions do not apply to ordinary merchanting business. But there is a great suspicion that the methods of business as car- ried on nowadays on the same lines as those of many years ago, need overhauling. We should like each firm to consider this question of adaptation and to see wherein they have failed and; wherein they can improve. It is vital. 1924 was a bad year. 1925 may be the same, and 30 on, whereas by "taking a little thought" the stature of a business can be improved. There is yet time, but not too much.
