Business Building Should Be Big.
Says Noted Magazine
Writer.
New York.—No American business
enterprise is so big as to be per
manently secure, declares Bruce
Barton in a historical survey of the
present prosperity and its back
ground. published today bv the
American Magazine. "Conditions
are changing,' -he . explains, "not
every year, but every month, every
week, every day. Most businesses
of permanent character recover
from temporary depressions and
come back into greater strength and
earning power. Generally speaking,
we are v ise if we expect that the
changes arc to be big instead of lit
tle.' He urges that, business men
should build their plans on a coun
i;.y destined to outgrow even the1
boldest imagination. *
The history of the Ford auto- j
mobile is cited as an example ol
the perils of being "too proud to i
change" in business. Years ago. in
one of the. first interviews with
Henry Fold which ever appeared.
he was quoted as saying: "There. Is
only one thing in business that is
certain and that is change. I don t
know what tomorrow is going to
be like, but I do know this: it is
bound to be diiferent from yester
day or today.” This was Mr. Ford's
position at that time. Rut a curious
thing happened, according to Mr
Barton, who explains:
Could Not Escape. •
"Ford, who had seen so clearly
the inescapable law ol change, got
the idea that somehow lie might
escape. Be seemed to think his busi
ness was an exception to the rule
When the public asked for more
life and color in their-automobiles,
he said: "They can have any color,
they want so long as it i- black.”
"His dealefs came to complain
that competition was destroying
them. Ford rejected 'their sugges
tions: tlie model T had lasted un
changed lor 15 years, and would
lasl lor 15 more. But *ach yeai
the quality of competing cars rose
and prices dropped. Each year more .
purchasers were lured away, until
finally the handwriting on the wall
was so large that Mr, ford could,
not possibly shut his eyes tr it.
"Another couple of years and his
great plants would have become
very sick. He had to change"

Similar illustrations of big busi
ness tendencies are brought up by
Mr. Barton from tin- History (’I the

HERE IN A FEW WORDS IS THE STORY OF THE LATEST MAJESTIC ACHIEVEMENT:
To build a product better, finer and for less^v
money than has ever been asked for the high
est quality merchandise before, is no easy
task. All this, and more, was accomplished
by MAJESTIC Electric Radio in 1928—an
achievement that set the world to talking,
thinking and buying MAJESTIC. Since last
June, when the first MAJESTIC receiver
left the factory, over 600,000 MAJESTICS
have been produced, and are giving such,
consistently good performance that this, too,
has amazed the world.
To make a product better than those that
have gone before was a real achievement—
but how to make the best product that could
be made for the money Still Better, was a
task that might well appear impossible.
Yet MAJESTIC has done it. Under the
guiding hand of William C. Grunow, a gen
ius of production, whose foresight, imagina
tion, and ability to weave the finest techni
cal achievements into mass production of
radio receivers, has brought him internation
al fame—A New And Finer MAJESTIC
Has Been Created.
Its performance is astonishing, its beauty
outstanding, its price amazing.
When you see and hear these new MAJES
TIC receivers, you forget ail but quality—
quality of performance, quality of appear
ance that you can really Feel. You only
know you want to own one of these new
models—to have it for your very own—to
' add breathless beauty to your home and give
you matchless performance which pats a
ew song of happiness in your heart.
Forget all but quality, Yet Receive Your
Greatest Thrill When You Learn The Price.
For MAJESTIC’S newest achievement, the
radio with quality you can Feel, is within
reach of every purse.
