COMPETiTION=-dood, clean-cut, fair competition is one of t he mos t wholesome, inspir ing and enliven ing things with which the energetic grocer, or any business ,man, may be blessed. The manly man accepts competition as an evidence tha t he ha s something th e otherfellow is willing to figh t for, and how you regard your competi to r is a pretty good measure of you r own ca libe r and ability. If competitioninspires and inci te s you, then it is t ru l y " the life of trade." If it irritates you and s eems to injure you, you had better look in to you r ownmethod s a nd s ee if t he y a re s ound and in a cc ord w i th modern bus in es s e thi c s an d bus in es s p ra ct ic es . Some one has sa id , "even t ramps g etso numerous that they have competi t ion , and competi t ion is good for t r amps - i t keeps them moving." If it becomes necessary for tramps tokeep on th e move, how much mo re needful· it may be for the retail g ro ce r to move a lo ng w i th th e times r a the r t han l ag behind them, f o r t her eis probably no one thing that will spur a man on to work and e ffor t more than competition.
