One Man in Forty- and YOU are the Man ID you ever stop to think that you are one of the comparatively small percentage of men whose ‘‘yes’”’ or “‘no”’ really matters to American business? Every morning 40,000,000 men start to work—in fac- tories and mines, banks, railways, stores and other cen- ters of industry or trade. Forty million men turn the wheels that keep America clothed, sheltered and fed. But only one million of them make business decisions. Only one man in forty has the ability, the responsibility or the authority to say yes or no in business matters. Hence the real managing power of the country lies in the hands of these million men—less than one per cent of its total population. As a member of this group—this controlling minority. —you share an important responsibility—the triple re- sponsibility of wisely liberal purchasing, of generous em- ployment and of sane management to hasten the return of general prosperity. e * e How, you ask, do we know that you are one of the million who make decisions for others to follow? Because men who read business papers are alert and eager for news of new plans, new methods, new equipment. That is why they are the men who control affairs.
