- AND
|RUSINESS
~ b. O. FoRBEA

We, are a great nation for
hero-worship. We also worship
'bigness. If a man is not the
greatest leader in his line or
If q corporation isn't the larg-
est in its line, we are little in
terested in him, or it.
First-or nowhere. That's
the American motto.
It Is curious to reflect how
great is the difference in our
attitude between the greatest
and the second greatest, be-
tween the fellow at the top
and the fellow on the next
step of the ladder.
Perhaps this indifference to
anything short of the greatest
or best or biggest is a stimu-
lating national trait. Perhaps
1t does something to spur in
dividuals and organizations to
increase their efforts to reach
first place.
Every school boy has for
years known the name of the
richest man in America.
But who knows or bothers
very much about who is the
next richest?
Everybody knows that Henry
Ford makes more automobiles
than any other man in the
world.
But how many persons out
side the industry could tell
which concern makes the next
largest number?
1t is rather generally known
that Marshall Field and Com
pany is the largest dry goods
house in the United States.
But which ranks next?
Grand Rapids is universally
known as the largest furniture
manufacturing center in Amer
lea.
But how many of Us would
ever guess that the second larg-
est center is High Point, N. c.?
Q didn't know it until yester-
day.)
For a generation the Penn
sylvania Railroad has been ac-
cepted as the premier railroad"
in America. But very few Of
US have ever stopped to ask
which road ranked next.
I know, and you know, that
Texas is the largest State in
the Union.
Find out for yourself which
comes next. q would have to
look it upD .
We have been taught for
many years that Pittsburgh
was the great steel city of
America.
Not many OF US have known
or cared which city occupies
second place.
In the oil industry, Standard
Oil has so completely occupied
the public's imagination that
not a thought has been given
by the public to which concern
trailed along in the second place.
Edison has for a generation
been acclaimed as our greatest
inventor.
Who ranks next to him? l
don't know and I'm fairly GER
tain you don't know.
ANY ten-year-old child can
Immediately give you the cor
rect reply when you ask,

You would probably be
stumped if asked the name of
the next largest.
