REAL ESTATE

Ideal In Business.

An ideal in business is too often frown- ed upon by the practical man. More fail ures in business can be traced to the lack of ideality than to it's pursuit The man who merely buys and sells from day to day without any distinct and definite object in mind will never know what the ultimate result will be. He often sue ceeds, but more often fails An ideal pur- pose, based on reason, of course and within practical attachments, is the best standard to set up and work to. Testi- mony in favor of this doctrine is found in the story of "A true Merchant Prince" by Thomas Dreier, In the August number of The Book Keeper. George E. Scott. whom the author denominates prince" was clerk in an obscure country town not many years ago, but as the author says, he was not a common clerk. He had aspirations, and he was willing to work and plan that they might be ful- filled. He succeeded and now has a model store in this Wisconsin town which might well be the envy of any merchant who appreciates comfort and the high estima- tion of all the people who know him. Every merchant, and every clerk who aspires to become one, should read this true story of George E. Scott of Perry Farm, Wisconsin.
