Too Late Getting 1.-The Idea"

What store in Waco, advertising
SPECIAL BARGAINS, is not afflicted
with hundreds Of people who come a
week or even month too late, and
say: "You offered SO and so for such
a price" Too LATE. Those bargains
were for that day or week; date gone
now.
A fellow rushes into the depot
Say, give me ticket when will
the train be here" Gone an hour
ago. Too late; lime table changed
over month ago; the papers told all
abou. it. Too late.
The real estate man advcrtises Cor
ought to ADVERTISED his business A
party comes along and says 81 heard
you had bargain SO and so to sell "
Too late. That was last year!
A clerk is employed by big store,
which has all its system arranged for
years, and its department clerks all
understood. This new clerk goes
right to the head OF the store
and says II will not accept this j b
unless you charge your whole bust
ness SYSTEM The merchant says,
you are TOO LATE, besides your
position is i'll timed-out of tsste-snd
shows very egotis,ical and narrow
MUD, and your mind is too small to
even be clerk ia my store ~ Now
let US apply the idea; meeting after
meeting is called in Waco to discuss
matters, the papers are full of the
questions literally and unsalhshly
presented for your information, notice
after notice Ape ars: the pros and the
cons are discussed, and after mo
ton is unanimously carried by those
who have kept up with the process
sion, some fellow who has never at
tended a meeting, knows nothing of
its arguments for or against, has not
given ONE DOLLAR to help make the
thing success, begins to wake
up to the thought that his little narrow
mind is only big enough to "object.
In the language of another is lit
astonishing what very little narrow
mind it takes to find fault or object
Alas alas too la,e-only time tt
