WHY MEN FAIL

An astonishing error to the effect
that 90 per cent Of the people who
20 into business ultimately fail has
been widely circulated, chiefly by life
insurance agents interested in hav.
ing their prospects" make provision
against the all but certain disaster.
The proportion of those who are de-
pendent in old age is regrettably
large, but a moments thought is suf-
fcient to prove that If the mortality
OF business enterprises was as high
as 95 per cent the economic fabric
of this country would not hold to-
getiier for day. Instead of IS per
cent Of failures the percentage Of
failures to the total number engaged
In business Is about s5-100ths OF
per cent. Disregard of the decimal
point has no doubt been responsible
for the IS per cent story
In this connection however, Brad
streets has compiled some instruc-
tive figures ON the couses OF failure
covering an inquiry extending over
| four years. The table shows that
the average percentage of failures is
| less than three-quarters of / per cent.
Getting down to the reasons for the
disaster which overtakes the failures
Bradstreet's furnishes another table
| of per centages.
! In this table is considerable hair
| splitting. There is no particular rea.
son why "nexperence," "unwise cred.
its" and competition" should not be
! Jumped under the head OF incompe-
tence" as tabulated however, we see
a steady increase In failures due to
this cause. Does this mean that the
average business intelligence is de
teriorating or does il mean that mod
ern business conditions call for a
higher type of intelligence than was
necessary four years ago?
Another item, lack of capital,
also calls for calculation. From ti1ii
cause We see a declining percentage
which may mean that it is becons
ing easier to do business on small
capital than formerly or that the en-
terprises covered by Bradstreet's re
ports have squeezed out the little fe'
lows and there Is less number o
