The financial editor of the New York
Evening Post, in speaking of the poor
showing recently made by the bicycle
trust, says:
This company, in line with most
other recent industrial reports. showed
loss of n million dollars in the surplus
The striking fact, however, was that,
although poor profits did their pact,
the writingoff of abandoned factories
entered in assets at fancy figures Il
year ago, and since sold for a song, was
chiefly responsible for the heavy
shrinkage.''
The trusts are learning lessons. Some
people have seemed to think that
trusts are bound TO be prosperous. no
matter how they are organized or how
they are conducted But trusts cannot
be prosperous unless they be conducted
on business principles. They must be
organized right and conducted in such
way as to make their products poDu-
