noted highway west of the Mis-

roads. Hundreds of thrilling

You never knew man to be sue
cessful who was always talking
about business being bad. Never
allow yourself to dwell on the dark
side of anything. You should re-
fuse to talk about depressed mar
kets or hard times. Some people
get into the pessimistic rut and
never see brightness or success in
anything. Success is a delicate
plant and requires encouragement
and sunshine.
