II Is Good For Your Business to Know
Peoples Opinion Of Il.
The best time to remedy mistake
Is before 1t happens. And the next
best time is as soon after it happens
as possible.
No business house can know too
much of what the outside world thinks
Of it. The average man is slow to
complain. That is why thousands Of
concerns are habitually back on their
orders. The average man will let the
grievance pass, but next time he takes
his business somewhere else.
The big department stores in large
cities realize the Importance Of know
ing what possible grievances people
may have against them. They put the
complaint department in the most ac-
cessible places. and they make sure
that the person with the kick may be
able to give 1t while it is hot.
"Please complain when anything
Gems wrong" is the constant invita-
on to the public. I'VE want to tre:, /.
you right, but we can't watch every
thing at once.'

cles be told in story form. In this
manner the pages of the whole maya
zine fairly TEEN with downright human
interest. The facts are gathered and
presented with the most scruDulous
attention to truth, but in the present.
alton the art of storytelling is sum-
moned, and the result is the finest
quality of journalism that exists
that which both informs exactly and
entertains wonderfully. Not many
journalists of this rare double ability
are strolling up and down the world.
yet several of them are in the ex
elusive employ of The American
Magazine. Three great original de-
partments have been created by The
American Magazine - Interesting
People, 1.-The Interpreters House"
and 1.-The Pilgrims Scrip" Any
particular number of the magazine
may contain a wonderful fiction story,
or beautiful picture, or great
article that will interest you more
than these departments. And yet
those famous departments form a
great attraction in the periodical.
They are always there-flled to the
brim with ideas, emotions and aspira-
tions. There is curious flavor IN
m-singularly new, pleasing and
genuine.
On the whole The American Maya
zine is winning great favor because of
it's sound tone of real optimism
silly, fiat and fake optimism but
that optimism which is founded on
the solid truth that you ought to do
your job we'll wherever you are, and
that if you do do your job we'll you
will get some sort of reward for it
here on earth not necessarily money
(which most of US foolishly use as the
only yardstick of success), but perhaps
an inner feeling of satisfaction which,
if your skin is not too tough, may be
transferred and exhibited in gentle
face-something decent to look at, and
not calculated to scare all the affec-
tion out of those who come into daily
contact with you.
| This poor and inadequate state
ment which only partially covers
the ground. It is only meant to be
sort of reflection on what seems to be
the moving spirit back Of the Ameri
can Magazine. 1t is nothing but an
impression which the writer feels
after reading and enjoying The
American Magazine for year or
more.

The general excellence of The
American Magazine is what appeals
to the reader. Experts in the bust
ness say that no periodical now
published is attracting more atten-
ton, or winning more enthusiastic
approval, than The American Maya

unusual energy, liveliness, candor,
courage, and humor. No one who
reads it can ever forget it's distinctive
qualities. 1t is as much of 'charac.

the following:
''That the Barton Telephone Ex

and do the switching for the Nc

event our members have the free
use of the Mcclure Company s
lines and the Citizens Telephone

far south as and including Lyndon.

the toll rate from Barton to st. Johns
