It is this universal making haste to
be rich that il al the bottom OF nearly
all our financial troubles. Men are i'm.
patient OF the slow hu,ndrum processes
by which the foundation Of colossal
fortunes are securely laid. They wish
to jump into afauence at bounce and
produce sens ation at the same time.
For this they recklessness risk their
own property and that Of others they
take counsel Of their hop es instead Of
using their best efforts, and depenp
upon luck instead Of honest toll. The
presence of the gambling spirit is
utterly opposed to sound business op-
eratlous. Fortunes made in day are
FILTERED away in another. We must
make haste slowly if we are to 60 for
ward securely on the road to fortune.
When our people take this practical
truth home to themselves and learn to
be satisfied with small profits and ex.
pect a competence only at the end of
years Of prudent affection to business,
tho number OF sudden and unexpected
failures will become beautifully small.
