MODERN 
BUSINESS 
METHODS 
D » peapeenic at enterprise is nowhere more 
conspicuous than in commerce and 
industry. Goods made in the United 
States are finding their way over the 
whole world; improved methods of manu- 
facture and transportation, together with 
the rapid advances in banking and insur- 
ance, make it possible for our manufac- 
turers to bid on closer margins and to 
guarantee quicker deliveries than those of 
other countries. These methods are the 
modern secrets of success. The Univer- 
sity of Chicago, in its College of Commerce 
and Administration, has recently made an 
effort to exploit these methods. Success- 
ful business men of large and varied ex- 
perience were secured to deliver lectures 
upon subjects in which they were experts. 
The lectures have been carefully edited 
and made available in book form under 
the title 
Lectures on 
Commerce
