In a speech prepared for the

but they rarely top Informed,
methodical selling, which is
what we face from our COM

Unless American business
picks up its sales efforts with
more imagination, efficiency,
intelligence, and understand

BY the Associated Press

Kerr-McGee Oil Industries,
Inc, said that six of its officers
and directors apparently made
forbidden profits of more than
S227,000 through dealings in
the company's stock.
The Securities Exchange Act
of 1884 provides that a COM
pany can recover any profits
realized by officers and direc-
tors who purchase the firm S
shares and sell them within six
months.
Kerr-McGee, whose head
quarters are in Oklahoma City,
Okla. filed proxy material with
the Securities and Exchange
Commission which said two di-
rectors already have paid to
the company market profits
totaling S37,028.
The Kerr-McGee statement
implied that the other four
would have to do the same or
face lawsuits if an investiga-
ton shows that they made six
month profits in Kerr-McGee
stock.
The company said an investi-
CATION was underway and a full

answer each question honestly
now, uncover as the SBA puts
it. the doubtful areas or weak
neSSes in your preparation"
After each set of questions,
the SBA suggests a few refer
ences, most of them also free
on request, which will help you
to eliminate the doubtful areas
Of weaknesses you may un-
cover. Here are some of the
questions which, when an
swered. will guide you in the
right direction:
What Are Your Chances for
Success? Specifically, have you
actual business experience or
have you obtained basic man.
agement experience working for
someone else? Have you ana
lyed recent trends of business
generally, of conditions in the
neighborhood where you want
to locate and of conditions in
the line of business you are
planning?
How Much Capital?
How Much Capital Will You
Need?-For instance, have you
estimated the income you can
reasonably expect in the first
six months, year, two years,
and what net profit you can
expect on your estimated sales
volume? Have you talked to a
banker and is he favorably i'm
pressed with your plan? Have
you a financial reserve for un-
anticipated needs?
Should You Share Ownership
with Others?-Do you, for ex-
ample, lack technical or man.
agement Skills which can be
most satisfactorily supplied by
one or more partners? Have you
checked the features of each
form of organization to see
which will best fit your situa-
ton?
How Will You Manage Per-
sonnel?-Will you be able to
hire satisfactory employees to
supply SkillS you lack? Have you
a clear-cut idea of what you
plan to pay? Do you know pre-
vailing wage scales?
These are only samples of
the 100 questions but they show
how valuable this checklist
could be to you.
You may be a success de-
spite your ignorance, but it's
improbable. In business the
truism is that what you don't
know will hurt you.

Checklist for Small Business

If you're planning to go into

Gently have taken this major
step. write the to the Small
Business Administration and
ask for a copy of Small Mar
keters Aids No. H." This is a
four page leaflet entitled
Checklist for Going into Busi-
ness" and it contains 100 queS-
tions for you to answer about
yourself which will help you i'm
mensely not only in avoiding
bankruptcy but also in achiev-
ing a solid success.
The checklist is free on your
request and I think it's one of
the best guides I've ever seen
for the small businessman.
In good times and bad, the
rate Of failure among small
businessmen is high and the
odds now that you'll survive in
your venture are the worst
since before World War II.
Through September, Dun &
BradStreet, Inc, reports 1906
firms failed, against 11,437 in
the same period of 1960-and
this has been a year of ad-
vancing business while 1860
was a year of deepening reces-
sion. In October, failures among
retailers of apparel rose Sc per
cent in number and 81 per cent
in liabilities over the previous
month, and through october
l,149 apparel retailers had
gone under as compared with
937 at this point last year. In
almost all fields, the death
rate among small businessmen
is running far above the rate of
earlier postwar years, seems
certain 10 remain lar above.
Over and over, investigations
reveal the same reason for the
bankruptcies: lack of expert
ence and or incompetence. A
recent SBA survey of small firm
failures in the Providence,
Rhode Island, area broke down
the chief causes into lack of
management know-how, per-
sonality defects and under-cap-
italization. The apparent causes
in each failure may have been
inadequate sales. poor loca-
ton. Unexpectedly heavy ex-
penSes, but the basic causes
were those mentioned above.
What then can you, already
in your own business or on
your way, do to protect your
self? One simple thing you can
do is get this checklist now,
