WILSON COMMENDS
TRADE COMMISSION
Great Help Has Been Rendered
Small Manufacturers and
Merchants.

President Wilson in a letter to Vice
Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the
Federal Trade Commission. made pub
lie today. commends in high terms the
efforts OF Mr.. Hurley and his asso-
ciates on the commission TO assist
small manufacturers and merchants
through improving their cost account
ing and bookkeeping methods. II this
country Is to be an important factor
In the worlds markets, the President
says that Its Institutions must be-
come more thorough and efficient in
production.
The letter in part reads as follows:
MY dear Mr.. Hurley:
Your Boston speech is before me,
In which you outline some OF the
work which the Federal Trade Com
mission Is doing for the business men
OF the country. l wish 10 commend
your efforts generally, and In partic-
ular your endeavor to assist the small
manufacturer and merchant to better
his condition by helping him to i'm
prove his cost accounting and book
keeping methods.
Helps Business Man.
This is a step in the right direc-
tion and one OF the main fundamen-
tails of any successful business. 1t Is
most important to the future success
OF a business man that he should
know what MS goods actually cost to
manufacture and to sell. II he has
these facts. they will enable -him to
present modern balance sheet to
his bank. and as a result he will be
better able to obtain credit with
which to expand and develop his
business.
IF we are to be an important factor
In a worlds markets. we must be more
thorough and efficient in production.
The encouragement of trade associa-
tions and Standardization, and the
installing OF better cost accounting
methods In our business concerns
will go a long way toward accom-
plishing this end.
Suggest Remedy.
1T is my hope that. In addition to
the other work which the Federal
Trade Commission is doing, 1t will
ascertain the facts regarding condi-
lions in our various industries. II Il
finds that an industry Is not healthy,
II should. after carefully considering
| the facts, In cooperation with the
parties interested, suggest a prac-
teal and helpful remedy. In this way
many of our difficult business prob
| lens might be solved.
Il am very anxious to see you con
tinue to cooperate with the business
| men OF the country along the lines
| upon which you are working.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
