CORRESPONDENCE PRICE CUTTING Editor: If the question was put to the business world which they would rather associate with. Courage or Fear, the answer un­ doubtedly would be. Courage; but we find that unwittingly, many business men are associat­ ing with fear disguised as cour­ age. To make myself more clear. I might state that I am referring to Price Cutting, for behind price cutting at all times, is that loathsome spectre FEAR, whisp­ ering to the salesman or estima­ tor to "Sharpen your pencil--cut --cut prices. The salesman fearing his com­ petitor may have some edge on the job on which he is quoting, loses sight of the fact that he may be losing money for the man who is paying his wages and wishing to make a (temporary) showing #for himself, cuts prices to the bone, not realizing that he is advertising to the public that he has lost confidence in himself and the quality of the firm's product. A stable business can only be built on quality and fair prices. Fair prices are readily arrived at from knowing Costs plus Com­ mercial Burden plus a Nominal Profit. When these are known, to the management and the sales­ man, courage immediately stands at their elbow instead of fear. The man who allows his actions to be controlled by fear and in­ sists in price cutting, eventually goes out and under. Before he does so, he does inconceivable damage to the trade, giving the impression that the man who knows his business and refuses to whittle his pencil to a point of absurdity is a shyster trying to gouge the last pound of flesh from the public. There is only one way to oust that expensive spectre "FEAR" and that is ad­ equate knowledge of costs. First know your costs then stand shoulder to shoulder with your business associates for in so do­ ing you will not only reap the benefit, yourself, but the com­ munity at large will be benefited.

FREE TOWING TO MEMBERS. GASOLINE and OILS CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL BANDS Sir, l^ast week I stressed the im­ portance of school bonds and. with your permission, I will con­ firm this statement by citing some remarkable figures taken from the records of the school re­ ferred to in the following para­ graph : "The town of Audubon, Iowa, has a population of twenty-two hundred and one hundred and sixteen students (twenty per cent of the entire population^ are engaged in the study of band and orchestral instruments. Sixty-two violins, five violas, three 'cellos, three bass viols, two flutes, one piccolo, fourteen clarinets, nine cornets, one French horn, three trombones, two baritones, three altos, two basses, four snare drums, two bass drums--total one hundred and sixteen pieces. This body is grouped into three orchestras and two bands, and is used for school and public functions. During the past four years they have won twenty-sev­ en silver cups and other contest honors. Coming nearer home, Vaiy couver has (1) The Native Sons' Band (all school children) of some fifty pieces; (2) New West­ minster Boys' Band are accomp­ lishing great work; (3) Victor­ ia's Navy League Band last year played at the Exhibition and at Stanley Park. Valuable prizes are being of­ fered by the Exhibition manage­ ment for amateur bands and I am safe in saying that the band adjudication will listen with sympathetic ear to the efforts of any boys' band which is game enough to contest at this year's band tournament. Yours, etc., CHAS. WADDINGHAM The old firehall at Ambleside, a landmark for many years, has been sold by the council and will shortly be demolished. This ac­ tion was taken owing to the nec­ essity for more space for the new garage and firehall which is to occupy the site of the old Ambleside hall. It is expected that the new quarters for the busses and fire trucks will be completed by April 14. W est V ancouver Municipal Ferries to take effect Friday.
