Sivu 7 - The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, could think of saying, This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. How many crimes, wars, murders...
Sivu 79 - There are approximately six thousand brands of paper ; 50 per cent of which are more or less inactive. The duplication of brands serves no useful purpose and ties up money in unnecessary stock. As an example of the disregard of standard size, the Federal Reserve Bank check will not cut without waste from any of the regular paper sizes. A draft questionnaire issued during the war was of such non-standard size as to require special filing cabinets. The Technical Publishers' Association on measuring...
Sivu 180 - Meanwhile it is singular how long the rotten will hold together, provided you do not handle it roughly. For whole generations it continues standing, ' with a ghastly affectation of life...

Sivu 79 - The standardization of newspaper columns to one size would make possible an annual saving of $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 on composition and plates alone. The waste of time and money through duplication of estimates and of designs in the building trades runs into the millions every year. Frequently the architect makes a general design and for lack of knowledge of how to keep down its cost, asks all the bidders to design the structural details in order...
Sivu 80 - ... make possible the use of one machine for a greater variety of different jobs. The printing industry illustrates this point also. A common sight in any large printing establishment is expensive machines covered up and out of use, or inefficiently used for purposes other than that for which they were built. A printer secures a contract and buys a machine to do the work economically. When the work comes up for contract next time, if some other printer secures it, it invariably means another special...
Sivu 55 - Others have advised the administration of alkalies in the hope that they may favour absorption. The best that can be said for them is, that they are not likely to do much harm.
Sivu 25 - ... discipline enjoined by their employer. Sobriety was, of course, indispensable— a drunken cardriver being amongst the most dangerous of servants. The drivers must also be truthful, and the man found telling a lie, however venial, was instantly dismissed. Honesty was also strongly enforced, not only for the sake of the public, but for the sake of the men themselves. Hence he never allowed his men to carry letters. If they did so, he fined them in the first instance very severely, and in the second...
