BUSINESS REVIVAL! THOSE words are upon the lips of every business man in America. Twenty-four hours after the war ended business threw back its shoulder and shouted: " Am Ready9 The word answered: "Come On -and the wheels of business started full speed ahead. The Business Rival is Here. The question for every Business Man to ponder on today is: Prosperity that came with peace has brought the keenest competition in business the world has ever seen. The "survival of the fittest" is the test being applied to every industry. "What does it mean to me?" Is Your Business FIT? Take one industry for the discussion. Let it be a concern that employs traveling salesmen. The more customers the salesman sees, the more business. That's simple and true. But how improve the present way going from town to town by railroad train? Answer: Motorize Your Sales Force. More than one hundred and fifty thousand traveling salesmen are now covering their territory evey day in the year in motor cars. Within twelve months 1 0,000 wholesale concerns have adopted this mode of transportation for their sales force. And carefully kept records show that salesmen traveling in motor cars are covering three times the number of towns and five times the number of customers they did in the old way of letting uncertain rail transportation regulate their time. Time saving is a big item but here's a bigger one: , Salesmen in motor cars travel at less expense than those who travel by train! Business volume is increased at less expense. That's the rub of it. These Business Revival days are motorized days. There's no time for the old ways the slow ways. Men and motors won the war.

Men and motors are getting the business world on its legs again Will your business have a hand in it?
