SATAN
NDC0MPANY." :"

- DR.. W. T.. s. Murray delivered anotho
u of his practical business talks before tn
students Of the Goldcy Wilmington Com
mcrcial College this afternoon. The sub
jrct Was an odd one being self Satal
Company Among other things til,
doctor said:
J. The firm known as "Sclf Satan &
4 Co. is Il very old concern. 1t traces its
: existence back through all the changes OF
,, time and nations. through all the wars
: y and rnmors of wars, to the very beginning
i or business relations by the original set
= tiers Of the world. There are merchants
who are very proud of their firms if they
3 exist fifty years and especially 50 if they
continue century. T!csc are infants of
but day in comparison with SELF Satan
X Go"
This firm has done and is doing an
, extensive business. II has its agents ia
, all parts of the world. They are wide
awake. active, pushing and very success
ful. Nothing prevents them from doing
, Il rushing business. neither war nor peace
panic or confidence; they drive through
everything to the accomplishment of their
purpose. Much of human nature and all
evil tendencies instead of kindness helps
them. The very spirit of evil which
breaks up many large and influential in
stitutions aids their success
'The senior partner. Satan. is n very
wise and shrcWd manager. His plans are
deep and well laid schemes. His expert
encc and knowledge surpass that of all
men with whom he has to deal. lie is cs-
pccially fertile in new ideas and adopts
himself and his business to the times and
the people. He has made study of hu-
man nature and understands thoroughly
how to meet its wants. its appetites, de-
slres and propcnsities. He has the power
often to change legitimate desires and APP
petites to abnormal and illegtimatc ends
and drives Il rushing trade.
He is not scrupulous about the conduct
or habits of his employees. Every firm that
wishes to do IN honest business and de-
slfcs to meet and supply Il legitimate
want is anxious and careful about those
employed. to handle goods or moneys, but |
not so with him. Our young men enter
ing business find it more and more neces-
snry to give the best of recommendations.
Ihey are even calling on pastors and
Sunday school teachers and friends of the
applicant to state and do it without equi-
vocation their opinion of their uprightncss
and honesty. But not 50 with the firm
SELF Satan & Co.. 1t cares nothin.
about pastors or Sunday school teachers.
the less you have to do with them the
better.
1T is every day becoming more diff
cult for men to use intoXicants and secure
positions. Employers are unwilling to
FISK their business interests in the hands
OF those whose nerves and brains may be
rendered unsteady by drink. Few if in
deed, any. railroads will employ in any
capacity whatever, men who are habtuaI
drinkers and those who drink occasionally
are insecure i'll their positions. We have
heard of one large employer who informs
every man when engaging his services,
that he will give linn $1.OO Il week more
wages if he will take pledge not to
drink. If he refuses he is informed that
the services of total abstaners is worth
TO the firm Il dollar Il week more than
those of Il tpler or topper.
But self Satan L. Co.. make no such
requirements or offers. Young men and
'ollng women too, may drink all they de-
'lre. the more the better. No restrictions
n prohibitions of any kind, it is licensed
liberty and do as you please, go where you
'lease, talk as you please. The more you
rink. swear and misreprcsent the better
he firm is pleased.
"Thc average business man and cor

lost obsolete and bonds are now signed

larging specific rate per thousand for @

"All applicants must have a good record :, ~
order to secure the bond. Not so with r, r,
lc firm SELF Satan & Co." The char
ter is not investigated. No one is asked r
bond. Come on and we will take the nj
st or the worst. We make no distnc- N
ons. A poor fellow who has no friends Il
cause of his misdoings shall have n SC
lance with his equal to the wiscst and
'st. All this howl and cry about char nj
ter is very displrasing to us. If the best sa
q going to annoy us with their con- W
icncc or scruplcs then we would rather -
we the worst. We are especially ann -.
us to have Goldeys students because - -
