Disagreements—Changing Methods
D
ISAGREEMENTS?
Yes!
Of course, why not?
All men do not think along the same lines in the conduct of business and it is a mighty good
thing that they do not, because the friction brought about by disagreements is constantly striking sparks
and producing new flames which send the currents of energy along the business wires making the wheels
spin lively at far away points.
The man who is right regarding certain business policies to-day may be forced to change them com-
pletely during the next twelve months.
And why?
Simply in order to meet conditions and preserve his business life he must conform to the changes
which are forced upon him by conditions far beyond his control.
We do not have things just as we like in this little world of ours.
It is not expected that we should.
It is this constant dissatisfaction with conditions that helps to improve them.
It was not so long ago that all of the newspapers were blaming one particular publication for using
enormous type with which to announce special news items, and yet nearly all of them have been forced to
fall into the same plan.
Why?
Simply because the readers rather liked the large heading idea and gradually have become accus-
tomed to it so that most of the papers use extra scare heads to announce special news items; and the very
papers which were decrying the adoption of such flamboyant methods have to-day fallen in line—and so it
goes, as the old world goes spinning down the ringing grooves of change!
The old methods of selling pianos have been abandoned and some of the old houses that would not
change have been snuffed out of existence.
Some to-day are drying up.
They are beyond the possibilities of recuperat on simply . because they would not change their
methods when everything around had undergone gre it changes.
It is mighty hard to go against stream and win!
. . . . . .
.
Those, who have tried have usually been-defeated.
And the stream runs steadily on.
