ought to go for the consumer by adj
vertising, and make the trade come to
us, instead of chasing it up.
That was so like Jim that l just
laughed at first; besides, that sort of
advertising was a pretty new thlns
then, and I was one of the old-tlmers
who didn't take any stock in It, But
Jim just kept plugging away at me be
tween trips, and finally 1 took nm Off
the road and told him to go anead and
try 1t in a small way.
Jim pretty nearly scared me to death
that first year. At last he had got into
something that he took an interest In
spending money-and he just fairly
Wallowed in it. Used to lay awake
nights. thinking up new ways of get

whenever I saw it I gagged, for L knew
it was costing me money that wasn't
coming back; but every time l started
to draw in my horns Jim talked to me,
and showed me where there was for
tune waiting for me just around the
corner
ing something that you could make bee:
tea out of-that was all. But before
Jim had been fooling with it month
he had got his girl to think up hun
dred different ways in which it could
be used, and had advertised them all
It seemed there was nothing you could
cook that didn't need a dash of it. He
kept me between a chill and sweat all
the time. Sometimes, but not often,
just had TO grin at his foolishness. l
remember one picture he got out show
ing sixteen COWS standing between
something that looked like letter
press, and telling how every pound or
so of Graham's Extract contained the
juice squeezed from 4 herd of steers.
If an explorer started for the north
pole, Jim would send him case of Ex-
tract and then advertise that it was
the great Matchmaker for cold climates,
and if some other fellow started across
Africa he sent him a case, too, and ad-
vertised what bully drink it was
served up with a little ice.

day. and every time he broke out It

sure enough. when the orders for EX-
tract began to look up, and he got a
reprieve: then he began to make ex-
penses, and he got a pardon; and finally
n rush came that left him high and dry
in a permanent place.
Jim was all right in his way, but it
was a new way, and I hadn't been
broad gauged enough to see that it was
better way.
That was where I caught the con-
nection between a college education and
business. I've always made it a rule
to buy brains. and I've learned now
that the better trained they are the
faster they find reasons for getting
their salaries raised. The fellow who
hasn't had the training may be just as
smart, but he's apt to paw the air when
he's reaching for ideas-From Letters

sort of abolished his job. After he had
been rolling barrels while, and the
sport had ground down one of his
shoulders a couple of inches lower thar

he hit on an idea for sort of over
