These things will come just as surely as you dial your own number instead of calling the operator on the telephone. just as sure as now you can see the person to whom you are speaking.
 Il remember when I was younger man said to me You certainty don't believe these horseless csr- riages will ever amount to anything; do you? Why don't you use litt,e reason? Do you mean to tell me that people will take a special course in engineering so that everybody will be an engineer? Don't be silly Not very long ago friend Of mine, maa who is worth about fifteen million dollars almost wept when he told me he was paying SIS for shoes. He said he could set the same shoes for $2.50 when he was a boy. That man is 7S years old and he is living in the past. You ! cant buy products from his factory at the same price you could 7S years ago. When he bought shoes for $..50 he rode in the covered wagon.
 Jewelry Business Living in Past
 "The trouble with the jewelry business today is that We are living too much in the past. We have no organization. no plans and no money. We're gucsses. We guess we'll buy this, or we guess we'll sell that. We guess at the price We sell things We guess at the clerks we hire. Then We wonder why We are not making any money. We seem to be doing a lot of business.
 Well, why aren't you making money: The manufacturers are not making all the monew Neither are the wholesalers. Neither are the jobbers. Many wholesalers call themselves jo tbers. Webster defines jobber as a low, mean misera ble per- son. Well on that basis we even have sub-jobbers in the jewelry busi- ness.
 ''rhe rank and file of retail jew elers are not growing. For as far back as 25 years ago no new money has come into this business. There is steady downward revision of quality with the natural con. sequences. steady downward re- vision of profit. What are YOU going to do about it. adopt resolu- tions?"
 The speaker explained some of the plans for incorporation of the Jew elry Institute of America. which. he said, is for the promotion of the in- terests of retail and wholesale jew elers and manufacturers. "rhe first thing the plan provides for it to in- Nestigate. analyze. think" he said.

 Price Cutting
 It is possible to bring more peo- pie into jewelry stores.' he con- tinued. Paying his respects to price cutting dealers he demanded. Do you think the manufacturers want their prices slashed? Do you think they are so dumb they don't realize that eventually into the minds of the public creeps the idea that there is something wrong with the article which has had it's price cut? These manufacturers also realize that there are hardware stores unfit to sell jewelry The manufacturers of the country are at their wits ends on this problem of distribution. If the manufacturer stuck to the whole- sale jewelry today he'd starve to death.

ture we're in flames before an alarm
