Get Out of the Old Ruts!

There is one thing which no young man with ambition and enterprise ill his make up should never allow him self accused of. and that is that he is moving along in the same old ruts made by his predecessors. It is most decidedly not American, and still more decidedly not enterprising, This is one great trouble with too many kinds of business. They keep right on in the old way. Their pred ecessors made money and built up a fine trade, and they think to carry it on successfully by simply letting the wheels follow the old ruts. But it cannot be done. There is too much competition. There are too many wide-awake, go-ahead men in the country to admit of such a course at the present time. One must watch the times and change with them. This is an age of progress, and those who have not the ambition, skill and enterprise to pull out of the old ruts and run for themselves, will stand a very poor show of success. It is i'm possible to conduct business now upon the same plan or principles as it was a half-century ago. Things are done in very different way, and the only road to success is the new road. This same principle is also applicable to workmen at trades. Don't think that because thing has been done a certain way for years, that is the only way it can be done, or even the way in winch it can be done the easiest and the most econom- ically. If you do, you will some day find out that a competitor has been at work and continued different method, and is quietly pocketing large profits, on account of time and material saved.
