This may be done in two ways, namely increasing the purchasing power of the working man by allowing him more pay, or reducing the prices of those commodities, which, if they were produced in more volume, could be sold cheaper while the same profit was taken. This latter method is well illustrated in the automobile industry which has gone on the policy of decreasing prices and producing better cars. In doing this they have increased their sales greatly, but they have returned the profits made on these sales to their customers in the form...
