the city streets, and even the rural
highways would swarm with gas
ears? Not on your life. There
wouldn't be one-tenth of the autos
in use.
And this is the reason:
In the last analysis all business
resolves itself around the selling
problem.
In the automobile field, for exam
pie, millions OF dollars were spent in
advertising and publicity in creating
a desire among people for automo-
biles. This cost could not possibly
have been borne by single com
pany.
Then, in the personal selling cam
paign, no single organization could
have gathered together the army of
statesmen that now bombards every
prospective buyer in every hamlet in
the world.
Without competition do you sup
pose the production costs of the
modern automobile would have been
cut to the present point? And right
here il is well to remark that one
of the greatest engineering feats Of
this age has been the ahattering OF
production costs in the automobile
industry.
Now consider the motion picture
industry. Probably every reader of
this article can remember when "a
motion picture theater was on par
with side show exhibiting a bearded
lady, 1t was located in the back end
of store room, il was not ventilated,
and II was as dark as cellar Ia an
old New England house.
Competition killed these unhealth-
iul holes before the health commits
sioners got around TO visiting them.
Today the average motion picture
theator is better built and is better
managed than the average legitimate
theater. Competition did il!
At the last report, as the writer
remembers, there were about fifty
corporations in the United States pro-
ducing monographs. retailing from
SIS TO $500 each. Instead OF discour-
aging, one of the larger companies
was said to be encouraging the small
err companies, on the theory that the
cheap machines sold would be good
education for the more expensive ma
chimes sold by the larger companies.
The business that is delivering a
good product at fair price and is
looking after the interests OF its Gus
toners all the time has nothingSto
fear from competition.
But il has a great deal to hope for
from competition. not the least OF
which is more business.

The Life of Trade.
From the Type Metal Magazine
Competition is the life of trade.

Competition is the life of trade.
This epigram was a by-word among
economists over one hundred years
ago. and yet even today We find bus
mess houses, enjoying brief
monopoly, who live in mortal fear of
competition.
As matter of fact. no business.
honestly and efficiently conducted,
has anything to fear from com
petition.
You don't have to look far to find
examples.
Take the automobile business or
the motion picture business or the
monograph business. Each OF these
has grown from nothing TO gigantic
proportions in remarkably short
term OF years.
Competition has been as keen as
the most seasoned salesman could
wish it. There have been no gentle
mems agreements, no live and let
live spirit i'm the conduct of these
businesses, but the average length Of
life has been above normal and GER
tainly the average degree of prosper
ity has been far above normal.
Competition creates business.
