THE BEST BUSINESS ASSET.

Good faith is an immensely i'm
portant asset in any business enter
prise The promise of performance
that is kept strictly. in the delivery of
goods or in the completion of work, is
the best possible advertisement The
merchant who holds his subordinates
rigidly to accounting for their dealings
with customers and patrons in this re-
gard is a trade builder. There is no
advantage in the long run in the talk
ing of orders that cannot be filled on
time; no gain in the acceptance of
son. The disappointed customer is
likely to seek elsewhere when he next
needs something from that same line
of goods. and, conversely, the customer
who is promptly served will 60 back to
the same shop
Explanations and excuses are no
solace to the disappointed patron. OF
course. accidents will happen in the
best regulated business establishments.
Trusted employees will fail to do their
work and lapse from the lines of
propriety. 1t is "a fortunate employer
who can equip himself with a force
of absolutely trustworthy, resonsible
people, and that good fortune is ex-
pressed in terms of a thriving business
and large profits. Possibly the high
est test of a business mans ability to
succeed lies in this matter of secur-
ing and organizing his force.
1t should be the fundamental rule in
every business establishment, large and
small, that before a promise of work
to be done is made every contingency
should be taken into account, so that
short OF disaster and absolutely un-
comfortable circumstances nothing will
prevent execution in season A bust
ness house that is run on such princi-
Piles Will expand and prosper in the
dulleSt seasons.

Howard then said he could only get
the 121k cents commission by the con-
sent of Strange to send the stock to
Watson, and asked Strange to sign a
mortgage as an evidence of good faith
Mason said if Howard told Watson not

Strange said he protested signing
the mortgage, which was done in the
office of T. o. Webster, and that he
agreed at the time it was only tenn
porary arrangement The others agreed
not to place the document on record
although Strange attached his sigma
ture to the assignment
