An exchange tells the story of a boy
who vas sent to market with a sack
Of rabbits, lingering about town all
day and coming back without selling

sack. How many dealers are like this
boy? They have plenty of goods for
sale but fail to tell people what Is in
the sack. IL you expect to sell goods
in this day and age you must open
your sack and keep shouting the
merits of your stock in trade.
