An Article That Is a Fit Counterpart OF
carrying the Message to Garcia"
D. Herbert Moore in Lord & Thomas
Judicious Advertising: Think not, Sir
Man-of-Leisure, as you peep lazily
through your heavily-curtained window
at the scurrying Z o'clock crowd on the
way to its daily toll. that you have the
best of it because you can snuggle back
beneath you luxurious covering and sleep
until Jeems or Meadows brings your morn
Ing coffee and paper and asks If you pre-
fer the Yellow Dragon or the Green Devil
for your forenoon spin.
Do not lay the f1attering JUNCTION to your
soul that yours is the happier lot.
Yonder youth with swinging step, with
fists dug deep into the pockets OF his
thread-bare coat and a cold luncheon
wrapped in paper tucked beneath his arm.
tastes a finer, sWeeter joy than all your
luxury can bring.
His is the pleasure Of incentive-the
glory Of work.
For there is. a zest to it all. The quick
spring from bed at the alarm clocks
summons, the hastily-swallowed break
fast, then out into the wine-nke air Of
| early morning. To work-vigorous work
Of brain or Drawn, whether 1t be pegging
away at a desk or directing the eternal
grind Of clanking machinery.
1t is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES! 8
Do not pity these work-a-day folk. Save
your sympathy for the hapless and hope
less idle fellowship %fortunates or un-
VIKINGS: alike commiserable.
Joy goes with the working masses.
There is joy in the monday luncheon,
whether in a gilded cafe or a cold snack
hastily devoured before the whistle
blows
The evening meal is a feast to the weary
man, n his well-earned rest Is the
greatest joy of all.
Hard work is the best of all cures for
insomnia.
Thank God you can work!
Though your office labor strains your
nerves and racks your brain, though the
shop takes the best Of our strength
and vitality-be glad to be living, an ac-
tive part of the working world.
You must earn your amusements before
you can enjoy them. Ennui has no part
in the strenuous life.
Be glad, for conscience sake, that you
are not one of those most miserable Of all
men, a fellow without a job-a human ma
chine standing idle, rusting and losing its
value from disuse.
Thank God you can work!
When sorrow and grief come, when you
seek to forget, to crush out cruel thoughts,
thank God hat you can absorb yourself
in your occupation, plunge deep into the
details Of your duty.
Thank God that you can work-that you
can grasp your pay envelope and say,
This is mine, the rightful pay for the la
Dor Of my brain, the just earnings Of my
strong right arm"
Be thankful, employer as well as en-
ploye, for the joy Of working.
You know the pleasure Of it.
Do not deceive yourself by the promise
(nine times in ten a pleasant little fiction)
that b%y-and-by you will retire. ease up,
end your life in idle luxury.
The business game is not alone for the
pleasure of the spells. but for the joy of
playing it.
What the world may call greed and
avarice you know to be the fascination
Of SUGGESTIVE intoxication of accomplish
ment; and it will keep you untiringly at
ton FOUR mettle in the battle-till the
end Of life.
For life is work.
And work Is life.
