The Kings Of Business.

The great matters of business have
no mysteries. no cunning tricks. They
simply serve the public with great
skill and systematic fidelity. That is
their cunning.
A. T. Stewart once held language
something like this in conversation
with friend;
People come to me and ask me what
is the secret of business. Why, / have
no secret. tell them my business has
been matter of principle from the
start. If the Golden Rule can be
incorporated into purely commercial
affairs. it has been done in this ests blish
ment, where every customer is treated
precisely as the seller himself would
like to be treated were he q customer.
What / mean is this: First of all,
nothing is misrepresented and no faults
are concealed. Then the price is fixed
once for all, at the lowest possible fig.
ures.
Finally. neither the circumstances of
the buyer nor the magnitude of his
purchase are suffered to influence the
salesman in his conduct or demeanor.
In our dealings with employees the
same Justice is adhered to.
After pause, Mr.. Stewsr added:
OF course. dou't speak of this as
deserving of praise We find it abso-
lutely necessary. An establishment
like this could not be conducted for
any length Of time in any other way.
The one thing which We cannot afford
is violation of principle.
In the whole world do not believe
there can be found one business of forty
years standing which is not founded
on the same principle OF giving good
dollars worth for dollar.

And, over crest of these
Murmur the drowsy bees.
Sucking the sweets from the honey

Softly the pillows break
Where Towering hedges make
Long sylvan shores of bright emerald
glow;
And, like feet afoat-
Each winged fly boat
Over fields insects ceaselessly 60.
