MOST ALL SIZES
Protecting GPs from Bankruptcy
Government authorities in administering the GI bill of
rights are rightly following a cautious policy in the matter
of loans to service men for buying homes, going into business
and ^purchasing farms. The government would be doing serv-
ice men a rank injustice to encourage them in burdening
themselves with debts in enterprises that have little chance
of success.
There will be a natural yearning on the part of many a
man who is weary of taking orders from superiors to become
his own boss. There will be plenty of people with hamburger
stands, filling stations, stores, shops and hillside farms that
they will be happy to sell for more than they are worth. Men
with high ambitions, great enthusiasm, a little hard-earned
cash and an easy loan will be easy victims.
Moat lousinesses Fail
Service men ^nd others ambitious to l>ecome bosses
should know that before the warkeven before the depression,
the great majority of small businesses failed within a few
months or a few years. The one that succeeded was the
exception rather than the rule. There is no reason 'to hope
that things will be very different after the war.
We have had opportunity to observe first-hand the busi-
ness turnover in Stamford for nearly 20 years. In that period,
some establishments have changed hands 20 times, or more.
We believe we would be safe in saying that more new busi-
nesses have started and stopped than the total that are now
operating.
. Unlimited opportunity in this free country gives every-
fellow the chance to rise but it also gives him the chance to
fafl. Many a skilled worker has been lost to the community
because of his ambition to become his own boss, or rather
somebody else’* boss. A skilled painter oi* carpenter prospers
and earns a reputation. He gets ambitious and becomes a~
contractor and hires less ^killed men to do the wbrk. Same
thing happens with a lively, courteous filling station attend-
ant. He leases a station of his own, hires help, the public
gets poorer service and a good man loses his investment. A
good clerk in a store serves his customers well, makes friends,
gave* his money, sees the boss’ faults, goes into business,
meets problems that he never knew about, loses out and is
poorer and wiser for the experience.
It is legend among small print shops of how the boss
arils his shop to his printer for the back wages he is due
him and hires but to the printer. Eventually the printer sells
back to the original boss for wages he is unable to pay.
