Industrial Research Willing to Spend Money. The young research chemist in the lahoratary of an industrial plant need not fear the displeasure of his chief if he scores a blank, or even several of them, in his efforts to find new products or better processes. "You will never get into trouble with your directors through conducting unsuccess- ful research," saidL.V. Redman, Vice President and Director of Research of theBake- lite Corporation, speaking before the recent American Institute of Chemistry at Evans- ton. "It is when, after having spent ten thousand dollars, you ask for a hundred thousand to take the necessary next step toward industrial exploitation of a bit of research that has been successful that you will need real salesmanship. The million that may be necessary if the industry is to remain in the vanguard these days of progress through research may be no harder to get if the first hundred thousand has been wisely spent."- Scintce Seroicc

Industrial Research Willing to Spend Money. The young research chemist in the lahoratary of an industrial plant need not fear the displeasure of his chief if he scores a blank, or even several of them, in his efforts to find new products or better processes.

"You will never get into trouble with your directors through conducting unsuccess- ful research," saidL.V. Redman, Vice President and Director of Research of theBake- lite Corporation, speaking before the recent American Institute of Chemistry at Evans- ton.

"It is when, after having spent ten thousand dollars, you ask for a hundred thousand to take the necessary next step toward industrial exploitation of a bit of research that has been successful that you will need real salesmanship. The million that may be necessary if the industry is to remain in the vanguard these days of progress through research may be no harder to get if the first hundred thousand has been wisely spent."- Scintce Seroicc
