NEW YORK HAVANA PHILADELPHIA MEXICO CITY PITTSBURGH MONTREAL VOL. XI NEW YORK, AUGUST, 1928 No. 8 Good CLUB-CAR conversation on business conditions in the South invariably includes reference to the roads of North Carolina, a state which, in the past five years, has spent perhaps two hundred millions in a road-building program. These roads generally are hard-surfaced, and modern in every respect. They run from city to city; through agricultural sections and manufacturing sections; to the resorts of the mountains and the shore. They are a boon to motor-vehicle transportation, and a joy to tourists, as well as to workmen who use automobiles. That the citizens of North Carolina were sufficiently keen-minded to realize in advance the full significance of their acts, may be questioned. That they were far-sighted enough to see that their expenditures would place North Carolina third among the seventeen southern states in the gross value of all products, fourth in value of agricultural products, and third in manufactured products, may be doubted. Yet their state has assumed an appearance of prosperity; their tumbled-down shacks have been replaced by modern Roads homes; their mill-villages have been transformed into towns which, in appearance, delight the eye; their people are contented people. The building of modern roads is as certain to result in economic progress as it is certain that fire will burn. Transportation is the life-blood of trade. Any section of the country which cannot bring in what it requires for economic existence, and get out what it produces, has little hope of going ahead. The good roads of accountancy are good work, honesty of purpose and action, and professional consciousness. Accountants may not know just why they are devoting time to research, making each successive job a better job than the last, standing up for their convictions, shirking no duties, and meeting their responsibilities to their clientelle and the public. They may not foresee the effect, or sense the result. But like the good people of North Carolina, they are bound to reap their reward. Physical good roads bring business. Figurative good roads in accountancy bring practice.
