Excerpt from The Family Income
It may be too much to expect that this little book will strike a new note in the trade of our busy world, but the hope is ventured that it will catch and interpret for you the better spirit that has come into our dealings with one another.
To-day the finest fact in our nation's life is that it has added quality to quantity. For more than a century we boasted of our country's bigness, of its exhaustless natural resources and of its money totals. That was the broad - and sound - basis of our development. On this basis our progressive manufacturers have erected new standards - and the best of modern business has adjusted its methods to these standards. But the record is not complete - it seldom is in the affairs of men and especially in the ramifications of merchandizing; and so it is meet that we take counsel together and find what we can do.
First we must see that the evils are both within and without. Of five thousand seven hundred and forty-nine samples of imported food products examined by the federal authorities last year one thousand two hundred and forty-six, or more than twenty percent., were found not to comply with the law.
