The Effect of Increased Output

The Effect of Increased Output.

When there is a satisfactory method evolved, the increased output means, economically, a drop in prices, since primary cost is less. This drop in prices means an increase in consumption of the commodity which, in turn, reacts by demanding more labour in production. Refer again to our boot trade. In spite of what the manufacturers say, if the trade adopts scientific management and “best methods” are used, the output will be increased. This wall enable the price to the wearer to be lowered. People who bought two pairs of boots formerly are now able to purchase more pairs—as much as they really need. This stimulation to buying would be reflected in the workshops, where those engaged would be more firmly entrenched in their jobs than ever.
