BUSINESS STANDS FOR HIGHER ETHICS 



Six formulas adaptable to business men who are now passing 

 through the temporary process of readjustment and contraction 

 were recommended by Thomas W. Lamont, member of the 

 banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co., in the following statement 

 read at a convention last week: 



"We are all feeling the discomfort of this process. No one 

 can foretell the duration of this process or estimate accurately 

 its immediate and final results. Necessarily this period of 

 uncertainty renders it most difficult in business to make today 

 decisions that have a bearing upon the long future. Fixed 

 formulas of conduct, policy and future engagements are hard to 

 write. There are, however, some things every man engaged in 

 active business can do : 



"We can resolve not to be frightened into panic by the wolf 

 that may not come. 



"We can meet our contracts to the utmost limits of our re- 

 sources. 



"We can take our losses like good sportsmen. 



"We can unfailingly be fair to our clients and customers. 



"We can adhere just as rigidly as ever to good ethics and fair 

 business practice. 



"We must be just to our fellow workers and employes and 

 consider their welfare as an integral part of our own." 



NEW YORK CONFERENCE OF MOTOR AND ACCESSORY 

 ADVERTISING MEN 



"How Advertising Can Turn the Tide in the Automotive In- 

 dustry" will be considered at the meeting of the Advertising 

 Managers' Council of the Motor and Accessory Manufacturers' 

 Association to be held at the Hotel Astor, New York, on Friday, 

 January 7, 1921. E. C. Tibbetts, advertising manager of The B. F. 

 Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio, who has been chairman of the 

 Council and its Executive Committee from its inauguration last 

 March, will preside at the meeting. 



A comprehensive program has been arranged, including an 

 open-forum discussion on "My Best Advertising Bet for 1921," 

 which will be an exchange of ideas and experiences on increasing 

 the efficiency of the advertising dollar. "Selling the Automotive 

 Industry to America — The Spirit of Transportation," will be the 

 title of a paper by E. W. Clark, advertising manager of the 

 Clark Equipment Co., Buchanan, Michigan. Alfred Reeves, gen- 

 eral manager of the National Automobile Chamber of Com- 

 merce, will discuss "The Outlook for the Automotive Industry 

 in 1921 — Cooperation Between the Advertising Managers of the 

 Car Manufacturers and the Parts and Unit Makers." "A Review 

 and Forecast of Business," with particular reference to the auto- 

 motive industry, will be presented, with detailed statistical charts, 

 by C. C. Parliii, manager of the commercial research department 

 of the Curtis Publishing Co., Philadelphia. 



A novel feature will be an exhibit of members' advertising. 

 The various advertising executives have been invited to mount 

 on suitable frames specimens of their significant and particularly 

 interesting advertising material, including campaign layouts, 

 posters, dealer-helps, broadsides, and booklets. 



Plans for the meeting have been formulated by a committee, 

 consisting of E. C. Tibbetts, advertising manager. The B. F. 

 Goodrich Co., Akron, Ohio (chairman) ; S. E. Baldwin, 

 advertising manager, Willard Storage Battery Co., Cleveland, 

 Ohio ; E. W. Clark, advertising manager, Clark Equipment Co., 

 Buchanan, Michigan ; J; C. McQuiston, manager, department of 

 publicity, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., East

 troit Pressed Steel Co., Detroit, Michigan; and M. Lincoln

WINTER MEETINGS OF THE SOCIETY OF AUTOMOTIVE 

 ENGINEERS 



The annual meeting of the Society of Automotive Engineers 

 will be held in the Engineering Societies Building. 29 West 39th 

 street. New York City, January 11, 12 and 13, 1921. Recognizing 

 that automotive engineers must accept the responsibility of in- 

 creasing the sales appeal of automotive products by effecting 

 economies " in their design and manufacture which will justify 

 price reduction, the program for the several sessions is being 

 planned in a larger and more comprehensive way than ever 

 before, and a large attendance is anticipated. 



Tuesday, January 11, will be devoted to the standards meet- 

 ing, with an aeronautic session in the evening. 



Wednesday, January 12, there will be the annual business 

 meeting, at which the engineer's place in the industry will be 

 defined, followed in the afternoon by simultaneous body engi- 

 neering, aeronautic and chassis sessions. In the evening will 

 occur "The Carnival" of music and dancing. 



Thursday, January 13, will be devoted to fuel and highway 

 sessions, the latter dealing chiefly with the effect of heavy auto- 

 motive vehicles on highway surfaces. The annual dinner will 

 occur in the Hotel Astor at 7 p. m.
