What important underlying which in the long run determines whether a business shall make and whether it shall survive? profits, As stated in the beginning of these talks, dependent we are upon other. Therefore, growing more in order to improve our standard we must constantly render more service to fellow men. Just what does this mean in our industrial life? In the Middle Ages, each community was self-sufficient, it raised and made everything it needed. Today each group and community is dependent upon others. We specialize Some of us traders.

Some take up agriculture. Others enter professional service, and still others go into the manufacturing industries. At present, localities also specialize. Pittsburgh makes steel; Detroit automobiles; Troy, collars: Chicago, meat products. In this manner, each of us is helping to create the things and services with which to satisfy the wants of ourselves and others, and then we exchange among ourselves.

Coffee on the hillside of Sao Paulo is worthless to us in this country, but we will pay for it in our neighborhood. Wool on a sheep's back in Australia is of more use to the sheep than to man, but when sheared, woven into cloth, and made into garments, it is essential to our comfort and well-being. Iron ore as found in the ground is only rusty colored stone and of no value to the ordinary individual; but when it is mined, smelted, converted into steel, and made into an automobile, many us consider it worth a part of our income.

In a way, it is incorrect to speak' of industry, producing so much goods, of the railways producing so much transportation, of factory workers producing so much service.

All of; these groups are really creating satisfactions for wants, within the limits set up by society. Business is essentially creative. It takes goods from places where they are so abundant as to be almost worthless and delivers them where they are scarce and can command a premium. It stores up the surplus food of summer for our use during the scarcity of winter; and brings all manufactured goods to our door at the time when we want them. Business changes form, annihilates space, conquers time.

Business, therefore, is not an end in itself. It is the servant of human wants. The most successful business men always keep this idea of service in mind. -Western Electric News. GRANBY Mrs.
