Excerpt from The Ethics of the Professions and of Business California must now be marketed in Philadelphia and automobiles are now made in Detroit to be sold in the Orient. The manufacturer sells to distant un known customers through advertising. Even contracts to buy and to sell, in these days of the telephone, are largely by word of mouth. Selling prices must now be announced before goods are produced. Business hangs more and more upon good faith. That old adage, A man's word is as good as his bond, acquires new meaning as a business asset. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
