MODERN 
BUSINESS 
METHODS 
Betecan enterprise is nowhere more 
conspicuous than in commerce and 
industry. Goods made 
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
