Taking the Guess Out of Business
B

John G. Lonsdale
By JOHN G. LONSDALE
President American Bankers
Association
(ANKERS and business men err In
not adopting more universally the
tactics ot the scientist. When the
scientist wishes
to fathom the
mysteries of the
universe or re-
solve things into
their component
parts he calls to
his assistance the
magnifying power
of the microscope.
There before him,
like nil open hook,
lie the secrets of
nature which un-
aided eyes cannot
observe.
The uncanny power of the micro-
scope's all-seeing eye has revealed
eonntlee3 seciets for the material and
intolleetifiil progress of humanity. It
has enabled us to study the processes
of growing cells in plant and animal
iite, trace the causes of disease am)
successfully combat the ills of man-
kind; it has aided the engineer in his
search for stronger and more service-
able materials, giving us taller, lighter
and more -Military structures, and hot-
ter highways; it has disclosed tlm de-
fects in steel rails and brought us-an
era of safer railway travel; it has
added to Hie food supply of the nation;
in fact, it lias affected favorably near-
ly every activity ot tl'.e human race,
v. hether it apply to production, dis-
tribution or consumption, in time of
peace or in Lime of war.
In the business and backing world,
economic research anti analysis «.’:vb
as the microscope through which
are enabled to sen basic factor#! mor*>
clearly and thus deter.mir-e tb<j entire i
of success and failure. Only recently
have we begun to realize the ail! ra’.uo
of research and analysis and apoly
them in such a wny as to eii-xlunte
the guesswork that was cbaracterii-tv
of industry a few years ago. “Ellniim-'.--
the guess and reach sudooss," might
well be a motto for all of t’.s.
Banking Grows

DENVER, Colo.—The increase In the
technicalities of the banking business
in the past dozen years was show,
by a speaker before the American li

institute la-t in, i in tills city, it gave

rlculum of the institute consisted c

Dollar
ADVERTISING helps stretch your dollar.
t.011 '^° n°t need to shop around all day to
find what you want at the price you can
afford to pay. The advertisements in the
newspapers tell you where you can buy it
at the lowest price. Advertisements save
you time, save money, save physical effort.
Tuey make buying easy and sure.
Advertising enables the woman in the
home to compare values without moving
from her easy chair. She can shop com-
fortably in her own living-room. When she
has decid -d what and where to buy, it takes
but a little time and effort to complete the
purchases.
Women appreciate the advantages of ad-
vertising. They trust it. They believe in
the goods advertised .... and buy them.
