"HE rapid growth of trade organi-
the past few years is an important
factor IN the development OF the oil
industry, the former hostility of reiiScr

ing been practically eliminated, through
the medium of associations where a
better understanding ot each others
conditions has been obtained through
discussion.
In modern business the trade asso-
citation plays an important part, for in
many branches OF the trade the bust

special service that his association has
been formed to give. The correction
Of abuses that grow up within his own
trade, the adoption OF standards for the
whole trade, and the regulation OF laws
are among the important problems that
continually present themselves. In
these and many other ways the trade
organization has come to be indis-

Keeping In Touch With Legislation.
An association is most useful in
keeping in touch with legislation as
that everything OF sort that might
either harm or benefit the group of
members may be made the cause OF
