Excerpt from The Library and the Business Man
In giving publicity to our library and its working methods, we aim to show what library work can mean to business houses. It is probably true that libraries as a whole are better equipped with statistical and technical literature than is justified by the de mand; and we hope that a suggestion of how useful our own li~ brary is to us and how widely we appeal to resources without, may tend to promote a more general practice of lookin g to libra ries as business aids. The recognition of their commercial possi bilities would, we think, meet with a hearty response from the libraries themselves, and so we, among others, would thus benefit from the availability of larger resources for obtaining answers to questions that are beyond the scope of the necessarily limited equipment of a private business library.
