ratios of revenue to assets. The tendency is for most companies to show a return of less than 20 cents on the dollar regardless of size. Below a ratio of .20 there are, for the smaller companies (i.e. 5-9 millions of assets), 71.8 per cent of the cases, for the middle group of companies (10-49 millions of assets) 67 per cent, and for the companies with 50 millions of assets or over 66.4 per cent.

So we observe with interest the graphic illustration in Chart 1d of the condition of the revenue-to-assets ratio in typical years. The years selected (1917, 1919, 1921, 1924) are chosen to include the principle phases of the general business cycle as indicated in the head- ings of Table Id. oo 109
