Modern mass-production methods lower cost of making goods, and thus give us better values. At the same time American ingenuity and science are constantly at work improving the quality of products. In this way, better quality products at good value are continually being brought to the people of all income groups.
As an example of how this works, when facial tissues were first put on the market in 1924, they
were made in limited quantities and sold at 65 cents per box of 200. People liked these facial tissues immediately and began asking for them when they went to different stores. Because there was such a demand for the product, manufacturers were making tissues in larger and larger quantities. Because the manufacturers were making tissues in great quantities, their production costs were lowered. So that the cost of tissues went down. In the meanwhile, the quality of facial tissues was constantly improving because more manufacturers went into the business of making tissues, and each manufacturer tried to make his product better than his competitors’. Today, instead of costing 65 cents, a box of 200 facial tissues costs around one-third of that price, and they are both softer and stronger.
When people are free to compete –when they are free to make more things and make them better—everyone benefits.
46. In regard to the production of goods in greater quantities the author states that the ______.
A. price of goods should drop
B. price of goods should rise
C. quality and price should both rise
D. quality should rise and price should drop
47. Facial tissues were first made in ______.
A. boxes of 24
B. 1924
C. boxes of 200
D. both B and C
48. When the demand for facial tissues increased, the supply was ______.
A. quickly exhausted
B. rationed to the consumers
C. unchanged
D. increased to keep up with the demand
49. Producing facial tissues in large quantities resulted in ______.
A. a poorer product
B. a monopoly of industry by one manufacturer
C. increased production costs
D. decreased production costs
50. Improved quality of facial tissues resulted from ______.
A. mass-production methods
B. popular demand for a better product
C. a decrease in price
D. competition among manufacturers
