PR,OFITGood or Evil? Misery or Hcppiness?

During the past few months, we have been exposed through the newspapers, magazines, radio and TV to a loud continuous blast about "profit." Depending upon the source "profit" is either good oi evil.

Profit as defined by Webster is-"The excess of income over expenditure."

Mr. Micawber, in the midst of fina.ncial troubles, offered to David Copperfield this bit of advice*"Annual income twenty _pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds, nineteen shillings, six pence, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds, six pence, result misery."

Income is received from many sources. From our la.bor in the form of wages or salariesl from customers who purchase goods or services; dividends from stocks ; interest from bonds or savings accounts.

All enterprises, frorn the corner candy store, the barber shop or the clothing store to. the industrial giant, need profi.t in order to co,ntinue providing us with thJgoods and services we need or demand. Without profit, business, small or large, cannot exist.

Profit is needed to pay the costs of doing business. The cost of raw material to be processed into-finished goods or the cost of goods bought for resale; the cost of seivices to maintain and op-erate the business; the cost of replacing worn out or obsolete tools and equipment; the cost demanded by Government, taxes levied it the Federal, State, County, p!ty, or District levels; the cost of payrolls, pensio_ns and fringe benefits; the cost 9f using tools.

Usually when we think of profit, we think in terms of a business enterprise, rarely, if ever, do we think of it in terms of the individual. Yet each and everyone of us is deeply- concerned with our own profit.

Profit from wages and salaiies? Yes. After providing for our basic needs, such as shelter, food and clothing, whai remains-is profit. This profit we spend as we see fit. Some of us will spend it immediate{y for additional comforts or pleasures, some will spend it fo,r household goods, some will place it in savings accounts for future usi, some will invest it in bonds or stocks, and some will spend it foolishly.

Whether we work for wages or salaries, own and operate a small business, or manage small, medium, or large iorpo- rations-_profit is with us, Without profit, we wduld oirly exist. Under the system of profit, and freedom from Oli Uountry government control, we, in the United States during our-brief listory, created a scale of living beyond the utmost imaginings of all preceding ages of rec-orded human hrstorv.

._Profit is good! Profit makes for happiness!
