Do The Best You Can.

Do the best you can at ali times!
That should be the motto of every
young man who possesses ambl-
tion, and the desire to make a
name for bimself In the world of
business. If he does that at all
times, he has put his foot on the
first rung of the ladder that leads
to promotion, and not before that
time can he fairly say that he
has begun to climb upward. Do
ing work in half.hearted manner
puts a decided handicap on the
young mans future, for the
moment that he regards his work
as grind he Is beginning to walk
on thin ice that will precipitate
him into dis missal from the SER
vice of the firm for whom he is
working; in truth, he places an
obstacle IN his path that cannot
be surmounted.
The difference between doing
the best you can and performing
your duties IN a half hearted man
ner is easily seen, for the latter
way of working cannot be dis.
guised, as 1t has false note that
can be distinguished by the EN-.
ployer. The young man must
make up his mind to give his en-
tire attention to his work, and
not let 1t waver at any moment
of the day, If he hopes to better
his condition in the form of pro-
motion. He must make 1t a point
to do the best that he can, wheth-
er the sold man." as many young
men term their employers, IS
there or not, for the "old man"
has been through the mill, as 1t
were, and he can easily tell wheth
er all his employ are doing
their best work or not. He can
not be fooled very long.
