easy coming, long.steying man Of
cheek who lounges down into 90
Office chair, helps himself to printed
letter headings. pens, inks and pan.
ctls. which he pockets. then enoope
about with "never mind, I'll find
what I want" till he uneerths on.
velopes, postage stamps, all Of which
he appropriates. Now this is an
honest man! He would scorn 70
take q penny, but he takes several
pennies worth Of stationery, etc.
Then he invariably wants the choice
pen that fits q clerks peculiar style,
and spoils Il.
All such characters are bothers
and nuisanC0s In q place Of business.
They make polite mon nervous, oo.
cupy time and space they do not pay
for. and which belongs TO Others.
They lift mems thoughts from books,
figures, accounts and business.
The place for q man 70 where ho
has business. The place whore he
has no business 10 . place . man has
no business To b 10. This hanging
around across furniture, setting about
till asked to move on. omA0kD Of the
boor boorish. the loalee loaiogiDh,
and In no way marks q man Of bud.
ness or q young man worthy Of 6ou.
Bile to educate to business puroultO.
The street. the market plaoo. The
drinking saloon, etc.. aro natural
loaflng places. The ol1ce q not Q
loafng place. and any busineoe place
whose regular oocupants tolerate
deadheade, sitterD. louugers, aad
loafers, will soon flnd To furniture
on the way to . pawn shop.
The business man who enters %
Office to find q company OF lou0eerD
there knows better than 70 place bic
affairs In charge OF synod Of CO..
slippers. He does not want bic bu.
siness affairs spread before the Dyes
Of idlerS nor others than those IL
whom hemuSt conflde.
One half OF the cause Of failures d
tho lack Of correct businees disci.
pline on the part OF men Who profess
to be business men. They breed L.
illness and throw out an atmosphere
OF unreliability that sends active
mon elsewhere. The neat, correct,
really useful clerk, cashier Of book.
keeper had rather be attacked By Q
dog than to'heve bic pens used, bio
Ink Splattered, his p6perg touched.
The correct bu1iness man heD . deok
for bio own uDe. and no other man
has any buAipess to touch tho desk
or its C0ntents-tO diDplAoe . paper.
or annoy 0 man Who y worth but
little to q business under ann0yaoCe0.
Therefore We venture this sermon
20 oil men.
II you have q place Of busineeo,
keep It ~ Q business not Q loedoQ
place. Il is better that you odend
idlers, than let them drag your By.
elness down to nothing. Eotertain
friends, guests, visitors q your home,
but not Ct your place Of businees o.
where you earn your living. Thai
man 10 not q friend who tobs you o.
your own time, the time Of your en-
ployers, or who creates On tmpCeo
sion that your place Of business 4
not sacred TO the business there car
ried on.
II YOU are q lad, q young man o.
old man looking for business, never
expect to find l. where idlore gathel
around. Never permit voureelf 70 b
educated In such an atmosphere. i
you arc fitting yourself for buslness
at yourself correctly. Il you expeo
to succeed. acquire bustneee Aeole
and hold ,44ft0 them. Ra00bel
that what y worth doing a& all i
worth doing we'll.
i And do not forget this.
| Call upon Q man Of business 10 BIZ
place Of business, only % business
transact your business % quickly q
possible, then 90 about your business
giving him time to attend 70 hjs bu
0ineos, and you will b o. tho Ioaa
TO success 10 business.
Az you value your reputation, nov
or permit yourself TO b known q
suspicioned a. q business ONCE snoop
Better q mill stone DO tied sbou
