The more quickly you can get through with each individual cus- tomer, the more time you will have | to see others that may not have been | on your original schedule, or the earl- ier you may return home to devote yourselves to other business. So in your entire business life, the more quickly you can dispose of cach in- dividual one of your business trans- | |actions, the sooner you can pass on | the next one, and consequently the more transactions you can undertake | and the more business you can do. | Units of Transaction. “The sum of your business activity | is made up of the units represented by your individual business transac- Itions. To swell it you must have | more units. To have more units each | separate unit must step livelier to get | lout of the way of those that are to | | follow. The unit can be made to| move faster only in one way, and {that is by reducing the time consum- ed in completing it. “The whole problem therefore is| [to take the waste time out of the unit |of business activity.

This means that | while that letter is on its way, the | transaction to which it relates is at andstill and its ultimate consum- | mation is retarded by 24 hours of dead time. | “Now, how can that wasted time | be taken out of this unit of business activity? Obvionsly by eliminating | | the time unnecessarily wasted in the transit of communication. In other words, if instead of writing the letter the telegraph were used, the period |'of dead time would be eliminated, and the completion of the transaction | shortened to that exient.
