Marketing Methods and Policies (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Marketing Methods and Policies<br><br>The author has long felt that there was a need for a book covering the general field of marketing, which would serve as an introduction to both the college student and the young man in business. Both often desire a broad knowledge of the marketing machinery which is operating around them. It was with this thought in mind that the author entered upon the preparation of this volume. He frankly admits that he has not a first-hand knowledge of every topic treated in this book. If the publication of such a book were delayed until a man was found who could prepare such a volume entirely from first-hand information it would probably never be written. This is true for the simple reason that no one man could make a thorough study of every phase of marketing and write a book before much of the information became obsolete. The author has, however, been able to draw on studies and investigations conducted by himself for much of the material contained in fifteen chapters of this volume. A part of this information has appeared in publications of the Federal Trade Commission and due credit is given by specific citations when such information is used.<br><br>There are many phases of marketing which, for lack of space, are not treated in this book.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
