...different items of expense in comparison to net sales. The results of these studies for the year 1923 will shortly be published and given to all firms who are cooperating with the Bureau.

Yet any fear that it will leave us with insufficient capital is mere stock ticker hysterics. One glance at the embarrassingly high Federal Reserve Gold ratios is enough to establish that fact...
