Progress is evidenced by the passing of the hand. Today is the age of the brain, of industrial accomplishment by mechanical means; of production in quantities for centuries undreamed of.
The return to hand operations would be to push back civilization a thousand years. All industry is today working towards a future of all machine operations intelligently directed by highly skilled mechanics. The day of making things by hand, that can be better and more accurately built by machinery, is past never to return.
We who are in business today are witnessing the passing of the hand. The great achievements of machine production afford more profits, greater time for recreation; the opportunity for higher development.
