How does a bootmaker, for example, know how many pairs of boots to make every week ? He is guided by the number he sold during the previous week, by his knowledge of the locality, and by his ex- perience that at certain times of the year the demand for his goods increases or decreases. He uses his judgment and gains or loses as his judg- ment proves accurate or otherwise.

and overseers of the selling and producing depart- ments. " How these officials would have to bestir them- selves. How they would cudgel their brains to think out new designs for suitings which might please the taste of the public.
