! In connection With our local Items
for this week we give short talk by
Mr.. Slindee, on "Our Pay Envelope. ;"
| What does it mean? Have you been
paid what you have earned or more,
or less? Have you earned as much as
you should or as much as you could?
Does it mean that you have received
just SO many dollars and cents for
your services for certain period Of
time, or does it have a larger and
l'broader meaning?
Your pay envelope has greater
significance than you may at first
suppose. While there may be excep-
tions, on the whole person draws a
salary for just about what he is worth
to his employer.
! If your pay envelope contains but
little, you are not worth much. If
your pay envelope contains a good
liberal sum, you are worth that
amount to your employer. 1t rests
| with you to determine what your pay
envelope for the future shall contain
If your aspirations are low and easily
satisfied and your efforts to improve
your condition half-hearted and brief,
your compensation will be common
surately meager. Ii you aspire to a
position OF prominence and put forth
a strong and constant effort to win,
you will be we'll rewarded by financial
success.
While there are many who strongly
maintain that success in life is not
measured in dollars, yet the fact re-
mains that money is an all important
factor. No one would advocate the
accumulation Of money for itself
alone, but everybody wants money
for what it will buy him.
Young friend, your chance is good
to become wealthy. The world is
full of opportunities for those who
have the ambition to grasp them.
Don't ever expect to have the good
things Of earth heaped into your lap
without an effort on your part. There
are too many out hustling ahead Of
you to enable you to gather in the
choice things of earth without going
after them; and the sooner you get
started the better will be your chance
for success. 70 become wealthy does
not mean to merely accumulate gold
or silver. 1t means a good home,
good books, beautiful pictures, rich
carpets, warmth and light, education,
wholesome food, social culture, pleas
ant companions, broad development
OF your faculties, a happy family. 1t
means that you will be privileged to
travel, to see some of the beautiful
places Oh this old earth of ours, to
learn about the different people of
the different countries; in fact, it
means that the avenues to all that is
beautiful and enjoyable in life will
be open to you, and you can take ad-
vantage of the opportunities if you so
desire.
The question is, then, how to make
the pay envelope bring large returns.
First of all you must qualify your
self for service that will be worth a
good price. Then take advantage of
the opportunities that offer you the
greatest advantages, and keep stead
lily pushing onward and upward. In
this way your success will be an as
sured fact.
While there are SO many lines of
occupation that offer chances for pro-
gressiVe effort, there is no field so
filled with excellent opportunities for
advancement and financial prosperity
as the commercial world. TO be able
to get satisfactory results from your
efforts, you must first be thoroughly
qualified. You should take thorough
course in this institution. This will
give you the basis Of inestimable
value upon which to build a solid
future of financial prosperity and it's
accompanying advantages,
