Lancaster New Era.

M Lancaster new Era.
Everything in the world around
us is changing. Along with all
these changes 90 those things
which relate to matters of business.
Old methods will no longer answer,
With new times. nesy circumstances,
the old is cast away and will no
longer serve our purpose. ,Mencom
plan sometimes that their business
is declining, when the fact is it is
merely slipping away from them be-
cause they themselves are falling
behind the times. But we do not
ear1these complaints from every
body Itwould be very discourage
ing If we did, Bad times are COM
monty blamed as the cause OF the
trouble. But is this sop Are the
times really bad? Is not the coun-
try in really very prosperousP Are
not new enterprises of all kinds
springing up in every nook and cor
nerp There must be some other
reasons. We must look elsewhere
for the source Of these complaints.
How Is it that there are thous-
ands Of men everywhere who are
prosperous and successful There
can be only one answer. They are
live, wide-awake and progressive
business men. They change with
the times. They live In the present
and peer into the future. They
have cast the past behind them with
its obsolete ways and methods In
stead Of complaining and wailing
over the prevailing order Of things
they buckle down to work before
them. ID
This is in reality one Of the open
secrets of success. The man who
would be successful and is success
full is he who accepts things as he
finds them. 0uce men could sit in
their Offices and wait for the busl-
ness which was pretty sure to come
along. Competition was not great
an6 il was not obsolutelyT necessary
to hustle as men do now. Even
then the most active and energetic
man went to the front, and made
his mark. The successful merchr Mt
to-day Is the one ewho throws him
self into the bustling, hurrying
crowd and pushes to the front.
These are times when trade must be
pu he'd it cannot be waited for as it
once was. This, of couye, necessi-
ates new methods, more attractive
ways Of showing goods, SNOWY ways
of Advertising; in short, everything
that will draw the attention Of the
public. What is more, the business
man must educate himself in this
direction. As time rolls on these
tendencies will develop more and
more. They will become an integ-
raj part of business activity in all
the future. The hand Of time does
not run backward, but forward.
There will be more push and rush
and energy in the years to come
than now, and he who does not
educate himself up to the require
ments OF the situation will fnd him
self as hopelessly stranded ten or
twenty years hence, as theo fogies
OF twenty and thirty years ago are
now. Merchants cannJt afford to
sitstlll. They must let the public
know what they are doing and in-
tend to'de Don't take down your
sign, but hang out Others, newer
and fresher onss. This isan age Of
advancement and, Improvement in
al tbingss& Business success awaits
the active, energetic NAN, while the
man Of old IDEAS falls further and
further away.

did you not swear that Beck, a news

"Yes, and 1 think so now"
"Don't you know that he only feIgned

him insane?"
