Ayres Sees Competition Grow
ing Keener
BY LELAND OLDS

Continued prosperity with compe-
tltlon growing more and more keen
as prices continue to fall, is the pre-
dlctlon of, Vice Pres. L. P. Ayres of
the Cleveland Trust Co. for the bal
ance of 1927. According to Ayres
such conditions favor large concerns
which can continue to reduce costs by
increasing efficiency. Smaller con-
Germs are failing to make profits and
many are falling by the wayside.
1T is probably" says Ayres, that
national prosperity will remain at
high level during the remaining
months of 1927 and that business
competition will continue to be so
keen that many business men en-
gagged In trade and industry and ag-
riculture will find it difficult to be-
lleve that the prosperity they read
about actually exists. Business
profits will probably be large in
the aggregate and they will tend
to go mainly to the firms that Op-
crate so efficiently that they can
undersell their competitors. or that
have arranged by mergers and
agreements to avoid the extremes
of competition"
Employment conditions, according
to Ayres, have been good, industrial
wages high and the resulting pur-
chasing power of the American people
enormous. Production has become
progressively more efficient, and
those manufacturers who have been
most successful in reducing their
costs of operation have made large
profits. But he feels that many man
ufacturers have reached or are reach
ing the limits of their ability to re-
duce their costs of production. He
says:
"The competition which has
come with this period of prOtract-
ed prosperity and declining prices
is a long distance race in which the
shOrtwinded participants are being
left behind. The evidence of this
is to be found in the records of
commercial insOIvencies. Failures
are increasing in number. There
were more of them i'm the first
quarter of 1927 than in the first
quarter OF any year except 1922
and 1915 which were both periods
OF serious business depression.
These failures are largely suspen-
siOns of smaller firms.'
Ayres points to General Motors
with the largest profits in its history

WHAT is HARDSHIP?
BY Charles P. Drisccll

William 4. Williams, secretary Of the Massachusetts,
Highway commission. was born zt sea, aboard q whalcr-
lie lived most Of his lie aboard a whaler, sometimes
being years out Of sight Of the homeland. His father
was q w~haleman, and Williams was reared in the hard
life Of the men who chased the whales from pole III
pole and from year to year.
Recently Williams was talking before a New Bed
ford club about the experiences Of whale hunters
Someone asked him to describe some Of the hardship
he had experienced in those hard days before steam ar
gunpowder took all the romance out Of whaling.
! was immensely interested In Williams reply:
~Hardships? Why. l never experienced any hard
ships. ! have often tried to remember any suffering
or privation that ! may have felt, but ] honestly cannot
think OF any such experience. OF course, the life
aboard a whaler is not soft. It's not a picnic, living
on good old salt horse for months at a time. But its
no hardship. II doesn't make you sick. or sore or un-
happy. And when you get back to land, how wonderful
a good piece of fresh steak fastest
"No, ! can't relate any hardships or sufferings, be-
cause ! honestly don't think ! ever met any"
But. when his audience wanted to hear about
the loss Of the whaling fleet Of t~hirty-two vessels in
the far north in 1871, Captain Williams obliged with
some scenes from his memory.
Williams was aboard one Of the whaIers that got
caught in the pack ice. The vessel went ashore twice,
and had 20 Be pulled off. The wind wouldn't change,
so the whslers were caught. late in September. There
we're weeks Of anxiety, but plenty Of good singing By
the crews.
Finally. the captains Of the vessels that were caught
decided to abandon their ships, rather than let the
men starve during the winter. So the fifteen hundred
persons (there we're some women) on the whalers were
rowed to other ships. in clear water, and they sailed
home.
But Of harships Captain williams saw none.
Perhaps some Of the young men Of our modern city
life, who worry over the hardship Of riding in trolley
cars, can draw their own moral.
