SERVICE IS CALLED
BEST BUSINESS IDEAL
E. c. Graham Tells Vehicle Asso.
citation 1t Should Be Given At
Lowest Price.

Service Is the real thing bought and
sold. and the ideal Of every business
man should be to give the best service
at the lowest price. according to an
address on "Up-to-Date Business Meth
DDS" by E. c. Graham, of the National
Electrical Supply Company. before the
washington branch of the Electrical Ve-
hicle Association.
From the time that a young man
leaves school or college until he has
arrived" in a business sense, he
should be taught by all with whom he
comes In contact that business Is a sci
ence." said Mr.. Graham.
He said the employer is as much re-
sponsfble for the progress and ultimate
value of worker as the employe him.
SELF
Turning to the question Of system,
Mr.. Graham said: In the old DAYS Of
business. man was satisfied to 90 on
from year to year. and If his stock of
goods and trade increased and he had a
little more money in the bank he was
satisfied. Today business man should
know at the end of each days business
whether he is going ahead or going
back. 1t is true that in establishing
a business and in building UP a trade
that 1t is sometimes necessary to mako
a permanent investment In advertising,
This should not be done blindly. how
ever. A man must put his own case be-
fore the public. but he should know
just where he stands every minute"
Officers of the association for the
coming year were elected as follows:
Bruce Emerson. chairman; j. J. Rar-
tram. vice chairman, and Charles Marsh
secretary-treasurer.
