ABSTRACT
The factory is slower than the department store in being good, because the men in it deal with crowds of things and crowds of wheels, and not with crowds of people. All responsible people are forced to be good, with crowds around them expecting it of them. Crowds are a kind of vast, insinuating, penetrating, omnipresent, permeating police force of righteousness. The last forms of business to yield to the new spirit are to be the lonely ones, the ones where light, air, human emotions, and crowds are shut out. Crowds in the end will not accept less than the best. With crowds of people and crowds of places and crowds of times, we are good.
