Abstract
THE recording of business activity by graphical means is extending rapidly among the controllers of large businesses, and a book like the present volume, written primarily in the atmosphere of American big business, should be of especial interest in Great Britain. The whole subject is treated in picturesque graphical fashion; no mathematical symbol appears anywhere, and yet a considerable degree of analysis of financial and business activity, production, sales, markets, and costing is successfully effected. The chapter dealing with graphical statistics in advertising is capital, a large number of illustrations of varying character being shown, including one demonstrating the effect of advertisement on church attendance and Sunday morning offerings!
