FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT

(Continued)

have gone in the business with an acquaintanceship of many rich friends, and, while they have become very successful, they have sold bonds to but few of their friends. Sales have been largely to clients whom they met after getting into the business, and whom they met only in a business way. Many of the very best salesmen have never enjoyed what is commonly known as a large acquaintance of rich friends."

HE above interview is typical of many

TH

that take place in the investment bond houses of the United States to-day. Sales managers and other executives of bond houses are glad to give information to young men who desire it. College men are becoming more and more interested in the bond business as a life-work. They find it a highly respected business, absolutely essential in the commercial world, and one of the most conservative branches of banking. Safety is the underlying principle of the business. It is strictly an investment, and not a speculative business.

While there are many departments, such as financial, corporation and municipal buying, statistical, advertising and correspondence, which offer excellent opportunities, most applicants prefer to be salesmen. The bond salesman comes in touch with customers of the highest type, usually people of ability, culture, and financial standing. Most clients buy repeatedly as their funds accumulate, and usually their buying power increases with time. Salesmen in some other lines often make one sale of a product, and one sale only to a customer, and then they have to find new prospects. This is not true of the bond business.

There is no business where high-grade competition helps more than in the bond business. The more competition, the more people are educated to buy -bonds, which broadens the field for every one in it. The nature of the business is so personal that no one house can ever monopolize it. There is room for the small dealer as well as the large as long as the standards of each are high. An able man in the business probably approaches a stage of independence sooner than in any other activity. He is always in demand. If he is dissatisfied with his position in a large house, he can start his own firm on a relatively small capital, smaller than the capital required by the majority of occupations involving the same turn

over.

The field is so broad and the interest so diverse that there is always something to do, no matter how dull general conditions are. There is always some pressing opportunity to keep the wideawake man on the job. There is never a time when he can honestly say, "I have nothing to do."

The bond business in this country, the its infancy. During the World War wealthiest country in the world, is in millions of people bought Government bonds for the first time, becoming edu

[graphic]

cated as to what bonds and coupons are. Before, only the rich man was supposed to own bonds. Now every one with a savings account is a bond buyer or prospect.

There is a great demand for initiative in the work. In the buying department, where issues are constructed, every new deal requires a different set-up, depending on the nature of the issue. This oftentimes involves maturity, security behind the bond, sinking fund, various provisions that will help the marketability, and ample safeguards that will protect the investor, yet allow sufficient latitude for the corporation to grow. In the selling department there is a great field for increasing the number of sales and new customers at a smaller cost of doing business. It is estimated that the average sale of the retail distributing house to an investor to-day is about $1,500 to $2,500, compared with $5,000 or over fifteen years ago. The business is becoming more and more a merchandising proposition and many new methods will undoubtedly be introduced in the future through advertising, correspondence, and other ways to increase sales.

College men realize that many valuable friendships are made in school. This is equally true in the bond business. The men in it are of the highest type, inspiring and helpful associates, and the nature of the business is such that it brings them into enjoyable contact, both in and out of the office. These friendships are made among competitors and clients as well as among men in the same organization.

To familiarize one's self with the many activities of the bond business requires constant reading and study. These activities, however, are so diversified that there is no chance for interest to lag. New problems come up daily. New interests are always attracting the student. Conditions are constantly changing. Men in the business have to be alert, broad, and abreast of the times.

The bond man is a close student of current events. In the daily newspaper he finds of direct interest and bearing on his business foreign news, pending legislation, labor troubles, business conditions, politics, international relations, crop reports, speeches of prominent men, announcements of new inventions, weather reports, the opening of new lands for development, oil and mineral discoveries, editorials, advertisements, court decisions, political appointments, real estate sales, shipping news, business announcements, commodity markets, and principally the financial news with its quotations of countless securities.

Character is most essential and business judgment of the highest order is required. To recommend an investment running twenty years or more, when you consider the various political, financial, industrial, and economic changes, together with change of management that may take place in that period, requires years of training and experience on the part of the bond house and its employees. The relationship between the investor and bond salesman is one that makes it necessary to gain the

Humanity

The Science and Art
of Human Engineering

By ALFRED KORZYBSKI

Mr. WALTER POLAKOV describes it as: "A book of tremendous force and beauty, possessing almost unlimited influence on the future development of mankind. . . a supreme logic of mathematically rigorous thinking... but so simple, so beautiful and so complete that it is within easy grasp of a child."-The World To-morrow.

CASSIUS J. KEYSER, Professor of Mathematics, Columbia University: "It is momentous in what it contains, even more so in what it suggests, and most of all, I dare say, in the excellent things it will eventually help men and women to think and say and do."

ROBERT B. WOLF, Vice-President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, writes: "I consider Count Korzybski's discovery of man's place in the great life movement as even more epoch-making than Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation."

A. F. SHELDON, Chairman of the Committee on Ethics and Philosophy of the International Association of Rotary Clubs, sees in the truths "revealed by this epochmaking book the possibility of making a long stride toward putting the problems of human relationships, including commerce and industry, on the plane where they belong." Price $3.00

"The Next War"

By WILL IRWIN

"It is one of the most massive and wellordered arguments that has ever been made against the institution of war. It is plain, clear, even-tempered, and sober. To read it is a duty, because in compact form it organizes a case against war on a plane that people can appreciate... but its real message is its conviction that we ourselves in America can show the way out."-From an extended re$1.50 view in The New Republic.
