If you cannot have your own ideas
carried forward in everything do not
get angry and try to stop others when
they are working for the best interests

The Pennsylvania Railroad has re-
Gently issued an order to the effect that
hearafter no employee of that company
will be allowed to mail letter on the

is called, and then if they find the
goods as represented the foundation of
their future patronage is laid.

ton.
