Why Businesses Fail
BY SYLVIA PORTER

47.2 per cent Of 1885 failures
the underlying causes were Ell
ther lack Of experience in the
line, lack of managerial eX-
perience or unbalanced expert
ence (not well rounded in sales,
finance. purchasing, produc-
tion). The causes might ap-
pear to be inadequate sales or
poor location or competitive
weakness or inventory difficult
ties or inability to raise es-
sential cash at a tolerable
price, etc, etc. But, insists Dun
& Bradstreet, underlying the
apparent causes in Ola per
cent of the failures was some
basic fault in management.
Neglect - evidenced by bad
habits, poor health - accounts
for only 80 per, cent of the
failures. Fraud, for II per
cent. Disaster - in the form
of fire, flood, burglary, etc. -
for only 1.3 per cent.
Considering that millions of
independent firms do continue
to exist, the percentage of an
nual failures is small, of course,
and in most years more new
firms are born than die. But
still, the thousands Of failures
represent tens of thousands of
tragedies.

Some of the finest adjectives
yet used on the Valiant outside
the ChrysIer publicity depart
ment appeared in a recent edi-
ton of The London Observer,
including the glib announce
ment that in England, the car

After a 1,000-mile road test,
Gordon wilkins concluded that
"above all it demonstrates
Detroit's ability to provide for
a few hundred pounds, per-
formance. silence, smoothnesS
and running refinement which
cost twice as much over here.
Unfortunately" Mr.. Wilkins
says, duty and purchase tax
prevent British buyers gaining
a true appreciation of this
achievement, but even in its
new price class the Valiant has
a lot to offer"
In price-quoting, the author
says the base price over there
is 1899 pounds - about $500
= and that it is well worth
paying the extra 333 pounds
(about 5000 or SO for the
automatic transmission"
All of which might explain
why there are far more British
automobiles in this country
than vice versa.

Uses High-Speed
.Microwuve Unit

The Weather Bureau is now
utilizing a new high-speed
microwave data transmission
system between Suitland, Md,
and the Bureau of Standards,
for faster and more accurate
weather forecasting.
Information from all over the
world is fed into Suitland by
teletype and other means. Be-
cause the Weather Bureau does
not have enough computers at
Suitland and those in use are
overloaded, the new program
was decided upon.
The new microwave system
transmits the weather intelli-
gence from tapes to the Bureau
of Standards, where it is run
through an International Busi-
ness Machine big computer 704.
After the necessary calculations
have been achieved, officials
transmit the data over the
microwave system back to the
Weather Bureau. which sends
it to its stations throughout the
Nation.
Steve Pozgay, Washington

Division of Motorola, Inc, 1120

the new system, which his COM

it is so times faster than is

Steel Prices

published minimums, the week.
ly journal of Woodworking re-
ported.
Service centers had inven-
tories of 3.8 million tons this
month, which compared with
81 million tons piled up when
the steel strike began one year
ago, Steel said. The reason for
this, the magazine said, was
that warehouses were "slow to
adjust their procurement to the
slower pace of consumer buy
ing last spring"
When the steel strike ended
last November, the steel service
centerS' inventories had shrunk
to 825,000 tons. Since then
they've taken in shipments at
an average of 1,333,830 tons a
month over the nine-month
period. Their cutbackS in orders
started in April, and May ship
ments received were down to
1,094, 900 tons, Steel said.
Last week steelmaking opera
tions climbed 2.8 points to 54.6

among the II districts was an

It's taking a bit longer for
a business to go bankrupt. Of
the thousands of American
businesses that failed last year,
only 81 per cent were babies"
had been in existence five
years or less. This was the
best record of the post-World
War II years with the cxcep-
ton of 1855.
It's also getting easier for a
business, once born, to stay
alive in North and South Da-
kota, Nebraska, New Mexico.
In these States. the failure rate
last year was four to five per
10000 concerns, the lowest in
decades and compared with a
national average of So per TO-
900 and peak death late Of
ITS per 10000 in oregon, i27
per 10000 in New York, 112 IN
California.
Performance Improves
Although business failures
are averaging 300 a week. we'll
above 1885 level and close to
the weekly toll in recession
1858. our general performance
is considerably better than in
1889 when the death rate was
20 per 10000. and it's much
better than the 1892 rate of
154.
Having emphasized these
three relatively pleasant items,
I find myself hunting hard but
unsucceSsfully for additional
favorable aspects in the COM
prehensive study of 1885 busi-
ness failure record, Just
released by Dun & Bradstreet.
For the fact Is that. even
though 1859 was a year of
economic upswing, 14,053 firms
failed and average liabilities
since the postwar transition
per failure hit $4,000, highest
since the postwar transition
year of 1947.
The fact is that, even though
1859 was an exceedingly pros
porous year, bankruptcies were
only slightly down from reces-
sion 1858, and indications so
far in 1860 suggest this year
could set a postwar peak for
failures.
And the fact is that, even
though our country is jumping
with children and we're more
SportS-minded than ever be-
fore, leading the list of 1885
retail failures were concerns
offering infants and children's
wear, sporting goods.
