This morn- ing 1 called the attention of sales man to a small mistake he had made in giving me change, the mistake be- ing in my favor. The proprietor, who was standing near, said to me: You're honest. You'll get along all right Not so many years ago the thought that seemed far too prevalent in this country was that only some clever form of dishonesty could get along all right The merchant who could trick customer was supposed to be the smart fellow, and it was as- sumed an honest person was sure to get the little end of everything. l am delighted to find even one man who realizes that honesty is actually indis pensable to success, and it is especial ly pleasing to find him in a place where I can deal with him regularly" :" New York Press.
