the title only, might take Il as an
other indictment of city life. which
Il Is not. The age.old attack upon
the town as compared with the coun.
try persists, but is II justified by
either history or observation2
Nearly all civilization Is the prod.

mind and each becomes brighter from
the contact. Masses Of population
may engender great vices, but they
also engender great virtues. and Il
they do not produce they certainly de

COMMERCIAL PROGRESS

1.-TWO hundred years ago partner
ships in business were very
rare, outside of the members OF
some one particular family.
A man in business sold things. and
most Of the manufacturing was done
by himself and his immediate family
Then We find instances OF brothers
continuing the work the father had
begun, as in the case OF the Eizevirs
and the Plantins, the great bookmak-
ers Of Holland.
To meet this competition. four print
ers in 1910. in Antwerp, formed a part
nership and worked together. A local
writer by the name OF Van Krugen de-
nounced these four men and made saw
age attacks on partnerships IN general
as wicked and Illegal and opposed TO
the rights OF the individual. One Judge
likened it to a fight where four men
Jumped on one This view seems to
have been quite general for there was
a law in Amsterdam forbidding all
partnerships in business that were not
licensed by the state.
The legislature Of the state OF Mis-
souri, a few weeks ago made war on
the department store in the same way,
using the ancient Van Krugen argu-
ment as reason.
