he wears no garment until 1t has been

a ball by appearing in a costume of

reverses the usual order, beginning his

The run for dollars is not always
won by the swift, as we are told in
holy writ. Something besides hurry
and push is necessary. A man start
ing out in business must know in
these days of close competition that
a sale today either makes a sale to-
morrow or it kills one. The. man
who misrepresents goods is doomed
to ultimate failure. No one can fool
everybody all the time. The manor

ton is close and energetic men are
continually on the qui vive, must
