WHY NOT BE A BOOMER?

The following card sent out by
the Detroit Commercial Club is
worth reading and FASTING in your
hat: IF there is any chance to
boom business boom it. Don't
put on a long face and look as
though you had a sour stomach.
Hold up Your head and look for
better things. Hide your little
hammer and try to speak we'll of
others, no matter how small you
really know yourself to be. When
a stranger drops in, jolly him; tell
him this is the greatest town on
earth, and it Is. Don't discourage
him by speaking i'll Of your neigh
bors. Lead him to believe that he
has at least struck place where
white people live. Don't knock.
Help yourself along by becoming
popular, and push your friends
with you. It's dead easy. Be a
good fellow and soon you will
have a procession of followers.
No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people in character
or business No man ever got rich
by trying to make others believe
he was the only man in town who
knew anything. YOU can't climb
the ladder of success by treading
on other peoples corns. Keep off
the corns and DONE knock.

BRAIN LEAKS.
From Bryan's Commoner:)

From Bryan'S Commoner:)
Goodness is of the heart, not of
the mouth.
You can not avoid responsibility
by Sinking duty.
True penitence does not wait
upon legal conviction.
Seeds of happiness never sprout
when planted in the soil of hate.
A lot of people never think of
repentance until their sins are made
public.
Investigation will often disclose
that greasy Jumper covers a
broadcloth heart.
We have wasted enough flowers
on the graves of the thousand dead
to have carried joy to the hearts of
a million living.
There are times in every mans
life when the clasp of a friends
hand means more than all the
words ever spoken.
If we repeat all the good things
we know about our neighbors we
will never have time to tell what
we know of their bad qualities.
