SUPERVISOR OF CHILD PLACING

Mrs. W. ('. Cathcart. Supervisor of
the Child Placing Department, in sub

port, says: '
‘‘This Department is engaged pii

length of stay for those permanently
homeless is estimated at from five to
six years In round numbers the av

stitution is about $1200; Ibis does not
mean with the increased cost of liv

expenses, each institutional child

VITAL MESSAGE
Business conditions move in an endless cycle. Wild prosperity has its day only to be followed always by a
disebneerting depression. Depression gradually forces the scales of activity down until it strikes the base and
•• «
' rebounds gradually to an even balance with stabilized conditions.
: , K.A
* / .
Expert economists and financiers generally are of the opinion that we have struck the base of depression and are now on the rebound to stabili/r
ed business conditions and that by the last of February or March we will be well on our way towards better times.
But we must not idly sit by and lend no assistance to the movement. This is the time for every brain and hand to utilize every atom of energy,
every constructive thought, every helpful suggestion that will furnish more power to the business motor. This is the time when the ‘ generals’’ of
business must take off their coats, roll up their sleeves, spit on their hands and re-vim every department, inside and out. 100% management must
register no%.
This is the time when manufacturers, producers of raw material and wholesalers must co-ordinate their interests in a will to win by working to
gether. This is the time when wholesalers must co-operate to the fullest extent with retailers by a suggestion of better^selling methods. Showjng
a merchant how to sell more is showing him how to buy more. This is the time when the entire sales organization should be on the road selling
“PROSPERITY,” and star salesmen should not ignore the one-night stands. Beating the brush for business is ipore profitable than killing the
time at home. t
This is the time when retailers must take advantage of every legitimate means of inducing business by catering to the public needs at equitable
prices for dependable goods. Business may be encouraged when it cannot be forced. This is the time when the business whiner should be ostrkdz-
% ed, the grouch banished, the discouraged inspired. ^
This is the time to lift permanently the smoke screen of alj selfish organizations, cormbinationsand methods that have thrived during the recent
period of inflated prosperity. This may be done by the wholesome public sentiment dominating the masses o£ thepeople, the legislative bodies.nat.
