S ime years ago a mousetrap fac-
tory in Scotland was f need out of
busine-s.
Far nearly a century the factory
hail a n ar monopoly on the mous*-
trap business in Scotland; it pro-
due cl a million traps |x*r year dur-
ing peak years.
•No doubt, the company made
fin.' mousetraps — |>erhaps the
best nes ever made. But it went
out of basin ns because the man-
ag mt nt made tw i mistake.* com-
mon to failing businesses.
First, the company produced such
a go.id mousetrap that advertising
was von-id.'ied unnecessary.
Second, th - management assum-
.■<1 that th y had a monopoly be-
cause no on els** wo.* making
mousetraps.
The*** mistak s result in a smug-
iillo hu'in ss community by the
\marillo t'haniber of Commerce

Final event of the DECA Con-
ference will b* a busine-s session
and election of \r. a VI officers
at 2 p.m This will b** the first
slate f Area VI officers elected,
because the area previously was
included in a larger district.

vl onamy.
Altl*>ugh no one el-e in Scotland
was rrtt king and advertising mouse-
traps, various firms began to pro-
duce ar»J advertise poison. At the
same time health measures were
reducing the number of rats and
mice.
The company nad competition
which it tl d not recognize or at-
tempt to meet while the market for
its sole proihict was dwindling.
Nearly ev*rry busin*-s.—retail and
indu'itrial — Has identical problems.
And they are ever-present. The de-
mand for evc.*y product changes
with time, and competition always
arises in even fthe most monopoli*-
tic areas.
There is a substitute for every
product the American consumer
buys. When the substitute is better
advertised, an increasing number
* onsumers choose the substitute.
The man who makes th** best
mousetraps in thle world can be
sure of only one thing— he will
have to do a good and constant
job of advertising.
