BURYING MISTAKES.

hearse containing an American bust

That gives you an accurate idea
of the number of business failures
since prices"began to tumble in May,
1920.
But all is not gloom.
Standing thoughtfully on the curb
stones, watching their deceased
brethren going to Dun & Bradstreet's
cemetery, are nearly 100000 bust
ness organizations that have weather
ed the storm without sinking.
In two years of very severe de-
preston, only one business in each
SO has failed.
In flash this illustrates the great
underlying strength of our business
organization, the Gibraltar that can
not be toppled by any storm.
As usual, of course, attention CEN
tiers on the ships that sink. Ships
that weather the storm are ignored.
Thus the financial ocean, like the
Seven Seas, gets worse reputation
than it really deserves.
In May, only 1860 failures. Many
will snort and wonder why the only

serving this, young blood desires to

May 954 new companies were in
cerporated in the principal states,
with capital of 100000 or more
apiece. Thousands of smaller ones
also ventured forth. They are the
rowboats.
How much did they fail for? That
is the important question. Failures,
during the depression that now is
nearing its ends, have had total H.
abilities or debts at rate of about
S60o,00O,OO0 a year.
Assets have averaged enough to
pay about so cents on 81.
