Profits

The National Association of Manufacturers has been
putting out propaganda recently aimed at convincing the
public that profits are not too high.
On the contrary their argument runs profits are, if
anything too low and they point at the profit per dollar of
sales to prove their point.
The answer is of course, that profit per dollar of sales
should decline when sales volume is high That is supposed
to be the secret Of production High production coup
led with heavy sales make possible lower profit margins and
lower prices.
Businessmen used to say they could make money
by selling lot of items at small profit than they could by
selling few items at a high profit.
