public library please take notice that the library will be closed for holidays from august 10th to august 22nd inclusive you need eperiiice plus capital plus good deal of luck and even then your chance of sue ess are very slim every body dreams of going into business for himself the utopia of the employee is to be his own bos even some high school students have the fanciful idea that they wouid like to go directly from school to a business of their own can it be done has it ever been done who can say you cant do it who can say it has never been done we can teil you that it is next to impossible to stall your own business successfully with no practical experience in the fjeld we have the word of selfmade business leaders to back this statement the first requisite of any business is capital how many high school students have accumulated enough money even a couple of thousand dollars which is a small sum in business today to finance their own enterprise have you sure money can be raised the silvertongued sales type can probably persuade others to put money into a business venture but how many businessmen are going to gamble their money on a 19- or 20year old odds are slim and the obstacles to overcome in a new business aie so gieat that once youve been through the tortures of an un successful business venture make even a lowpaid job seem supel b the odds against new businesses aieeeding are sliui last year for instance over loo0 businesses failed and according to that cautious calculator of canadian business dun and bradstreet the reason 9u9 per cent of them failed wa poor and inexperienced management before going into business for vourself one expert ad vises take a cold hard look at yourself and dont rely on your friends opinions if you arent certain that your own vision is twentytwemy youll make a wise investment in the serv ices of a personnel consultant the elaborate tests that hell give you will indicate some of your strengths and weaknesses remember its only in the movies that the innocents in business make a million the best advice for the average canadian high school stu dent who is thinking of going into his own business is dont fact not fiction this may sound like an overemphasied negative in the face of our canadian system of free enterprise but unfortun ately the advice is formed through fact and not fiction unless your father is a millionaire who is willing to sub sidize your wobbly way in the world of business dont get into it at all if you have an overpowering urge to open your own busi ness first get some good practical experience in the field you choose work for someone else for a few years put away all the money you can youll need it keep an eye on business conditions and on the businesses that are prospering and those that are failing the dun and bradstreet quarterly report contains valuable statistics on the number of business failures you can obtain these reports by writing to dun and bradstreet of canada ltd 159 bay street toronto mere imitation of a successful business does not guarantee that the carbon copy too will prosper too much competition has killed off many businesses and two successful business- a poor far the prie mf m deluxe reraiar mlane 1 yes its true what they say about freezers you do eat better and you do save money now the coronado twodoor refrigerator freezer offers you even more a big 100 lb freezer chest and full size re frigerator in the space normally used by a refrigerator come in today and see the new coronado two door refrigerator freezer the unit that was designed for your kitchen and your budget men james shore and william pollock who started the suc cessful secretarial organization office overload point out it is a great mistake to think automatically that your own home town is the best place to start in business often you will find your business is more acceptable in another area where competition may be less or the need for your services may be greater avoid these there are some businesses which are particularly vulner able to failure here are some field which you should espe cially avoid unless you are exceptionally talented in these areas or you have a new or novel twist which could turn them into moneymakers travel agencies the field is too overcrowiico and the big agencies appear to have the market tied up siiall agencies cant offer the varied services of the big organizations tourist homes these are now outdated and are passing swiftly from the canadian scene record bars though this can naturally be an inter esting field lor teenagers the big cutrate music stores are forcing small shops out of business and the number of retail outlets from department stores to supermarkets and drug stores doesnt help the situation either kennels this highlyspecialized novelty business just isnt a moneymaker most people breed dogs as a hobby and make their living elsewhere girt shops this is another business which is not too profitable and generally falls into the hobby category here are some businesses which you should not enter unless you have definite aptitude for them you can lose a lot of money if you stumble blindly into public relations this is a specialized field for people with extensive training in journalism it is a highly per sonalized business in that it is you and your brains and services which you are selling to a client if you dont have them vou just wont have any business modelling school this field which embraces fashion beauty fashion photography and stage work also requires a high degree of skill you cant expect to teach these tilings unless you are an expert in them yourself you must also have aii aptitude tor business which sometimes is in congruous wilh the oilier charms which a professional model must have business school here you must be a qualified stenographer secretary and bookkeeper you must know the business field thoroughly you must know how to operate typewriters adding machines dictaphones calculating ma chines you must be a specialist in shorthand or some other form of speedivriting restaurant strange as it seems this is a special ized field true hamburger spots are popping up all the time but just as many are closing a lot of people in the restaurant business know very little about it the field is overcrowded and its one that is better avoided so where does all this leave you now like speculation pretty discouraging isnt it this superficial glimpse into the world of the selfemployed but it is better to be discouraged before you spend any money than to be discouraged and bankrupt loo going info business for yourself is a lot like speculating in the stock market where the rule of he house though un fortunately often unheeded is dont gamble more than you can afford fo lose and dont dont go into 3 business unless you are prepared to lose because the odds currently are stacked terribly high against you but if you must take a crack at something you must and may luck be with you just like milk butter belongs on your family table omtabic cbijua riodvciii makketimg board btttmnmi uf turn rnikia j thinking of a jvewv caw call
