ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

In the closing chapter Of ''F=Anzied
FINANCE, IN EVerybody's, Mr.. Lawson
He SAYS.
The principal factor in corporation
success is the confidence Of that part OF
the public known as investors and caui-
tansts, and confidence stands for credit
prestige and good will. The chief cause
of failure is the lack of this CONFIDENCE
With confidence the securities OF a given
