ness Life.o Il was psesented under three
heads A business mans relation to his
employees; his relation to customers, and
to competitors. An employer must be
able to inspire his men wish confidence
and respect for his position and ability; a
legitimate profit should be satisfactory and
the possibility Of getting little more not
continually uppermost A business firms
reputation is much like mans character,
it is not gained at once but comes through
perseverance, straight forwardness and mp
right dealing Competitors in like bust
ness should keep in contact with each
other, and meet to discuss best and cheap
est methods of conducting business, but the
writer did not consider it right for them to
form an agreement for an unreasonable adj
vance in prices or to curtail output to any
great extent; under such circumstances the
small dealer with little capital cuts no
figure, and business passes into the hands
OF capitalists. A man must be conscien-
tious, upright, just, broadminded and
filled with the spirit of competition and
friendly rivalry to make business life what
it shold be.
