interested in costs of what
they produce, are also the
ones who do the best job.
Just as the housewife who
cares about the price and
value of what she buys is
the one who gets the most
for her money.
The person who cares
about what different elements
of a product cost,
usually know what parts
of his job need the most
careful attention. He knows
how he can help to keep
costs down. He usually has
good ideas for improvements
which will save on
costs.
We all have an important
stake in lower costs. It is
