"Self amalgamation was found to be one of our principal Weaknesses." "Two silent forces, specialization and generalization, I believe, have combined to work against necessary good fellowship, faith and under standing. We each specialize in one certain thing and become less and less aware that other people's prob lems are as important as our own. "Before business became so diver sified and beyond the understanding of an average man there was no generalization. The faYmer depend ed upon local demand and could ^nderstand the rise and fall of mar ket price because the market was *}*ar at hand.
