There is one type of source material for business history to which members of the Society could and should make valuable contributions. This is in the recording of the significant facts concerning the development of their own business concerns. After a man has spent the best years of his life and much of his talent and energy in administering a business enterprise, it would be of great value if he could sit down and, as clearly as possible, describe all sides of every problem which led to the formulation of important decisions, along with the results of the policies based on those decisions.
