his lifelong insistence on the inn

vertising in business.
Born and reared in an old-fash-
ioned atmosphere of hard work
and hustle on a farm in Glouces-
ter, Mr.. Babson went to the Mass
achusetts Institute of Technology.
Upon graduating, he turned in
stinctively to financial and busi-
ness activities in which his father
was engaged.
His exertions, however, under
mined his health; he contracted
tuberculosis and he was sent West
''as good as dead. 1t was while he
was convalescing from this dread
malady that he worked out some
of the possibilities and problems
of business forecasting. His week
ly releases are used by over 400
newspapers and his financial re-
ports by 10000 corporations n d
estates. His research work is car
ried on by large staff of experts.
Mr.. Babson founded Babson In

Later, he founded a Midwest In

been active also in the establish

Mr.. Babson has probably d on e
more than any other man to create

broader vision in businessmen, en-
abling them to meet the ups-and-

American fathers next Sun
day will receive more than 101
million gifts amounting to q
total Of almost 81 billion.
I was surprised to find that
Fathers Day ranks as the sec
ond largest non-Christmas gift
occasion in the number Of gifts
1t is exceeded only by birthday
celebrations.
Next Sunday ranks as the
fourth largest non-Christmas
gift-giving occasion in dollar
volume - exceeded only by
birthdays, weddings and Moth
er's Day. 1t accounts for about
10 per cent Of the total nom
Christmas market and 5 per
cent of the overall gift market
Of more than $18.5 billion an
Inually.
Each father next Sunday will
receive an average of two gifts
with an average value of $500
per gift. That $8.90-per-gift
figure is well aboue the $5.37
cost Of the average Christmas
present, and only the per-gift
cost of weddings, anniversaries
and Mothers Day tops it.
Finally. Fathers Day is one
of the three major occasions
when the man of the house re-
ceives presents. The other two
are Christmas-which absorbs
43 per cent of the entire gift
giving market-and his birth
day.
These are the findings of the
Chicago Printed String Co.,

tive paper and ribbons. Ac-
cording to Sol Weiner, president

several obvious as well as un-
expected items. One startling
was that almost one
