Straight Talks to Women About Money

For example. assume your husband

per pair to make. Selling. shipping

He is offered SO per pair for them.
His cost OF doing business is is per
cent. He divides 81 by IS per. cent

about $8.25 10 realize a profit.
How many Of you apply the same
simple arithmetic in your home? Well.
you know your income for the year,
and you know the cost of keeping
house. It amounts to a fixed portion
of your income-lcts say IS per cent.
Then In order to save, improve, or
acquire. your expenses for the month
must never figure to be more than rs
per cent Of your income per month.
For example, II your income per
month Is 500, then your expenses
should not exceed SIS. II your in
come Is increased or decreased. then
you may figure accordingly That rs
per cent figure Is not standard, IL is
merely assumed for purposes OF illus
tration. It will vary with incomes,
The larger the income the smaller the
percentage of 1t required for upkcep.
and the more reserved for savings and
improvements This busiiesslike method

Cost of Keeping House.

Your husband will tell you that the

In other words, II his firm did $4,000
worth of business at cost OF $4,000
then its profits would be the income

An attitude toward a thing may spell
success or. failure In the subsequent
undertaking Of It. It is therefore
recommended that the housewife re-
gard the cost of keeping house as the
cost OF doing her business" In order
to show any profits In the way oi
improvements, accretions. or savings,
her cost OF doing business" must be
less than her total income.
A business man when figuring on a
sale or deal figures the cost TO him OF
the material, OF both manufacturing or
acquiring 1t, and of reselling 1t. To
that amount he adds the cost OF doing
business. II with all OF these added
costs II shows a margin OF increase
