Abstract
This article is addressed to business-men, who, preoccupied as they are with the present and the future, have little time to devote to the past. When a company celebrates its centenary—as a growing number of concerns will be doing from now onwards—its directors often find themselves at a loss to know what course of action to take about having a history written. To whom should they turn for advise? Most universities nowadays have members of their staff trained in economic history who could be of help, but few business-men get into touch with them. This article is an attempt to state the case for consulting the economic historian.
