In discoursing upon the necessary
qualifications for the successful trans
action Of businessof any kind in this
bustling age. the Philadelphia Times
has the following weighty opinion TO
offer
.sWhatever business in which we are
engaged, TO make IL successful and
progressive there Is much to be done
and little to be left undone 70 realize
our expectations and gain the objects
OF our hopes. Men Of acknowledged
business knowledge and habits often
get wrecked and stranded by going be-
yond their depths and drifting on shall
lows Close application to business and
strict attention TO its details are the
requisites in making business profta-
bic and thriving. unassuming and
gentle manners always make friends
and keep them, and faithful represen-
tations and fair dealings always
inspire confidence and belief. All
the keenness. sharp-sightedness, quick
wittedness and tact will fall short of
solid sense, practical Judgment and
thorough knowledge of the laws Of
trade. All that we mean and do must
be abreast with the times and the peo-
pie. Around us on every side and bear
ing upon us in every direction the old
is showed aside, and the new and what
is improving are the watchwords of the
day. The times demand men of large,
liberal and energetic thoughts and ac-
ton. And those who insist upon doing
business in the old-fashioned, jog-trot,
humdrum way are as much out of place
as they who insist on travelling with an
OK team instead of by railway, or get
ting news by an old stage coach instead
of by the lightning telegraph.
