a man clean in his business ana
untainted in his political life. A man

Some one has said. There are
three business rules today Firsl.
the golden rule: DO unto others as
YOU would nave them do unto you.
That is the Divine rule. 1t is the
rule that will give man soft PHI
low when he lies down TO sleep or
die. The rule. when kept, gives
man self-respect. and he can fook
with confidence into his neishbors
face. You may we'll watch the man
who has lost his honor SO much that
he saws he can not get on in business
on The basis of the golden rule. The
second rule is the silver rule: Do
unto Others as they do unto you. II
they do you. you do them. II they
treat YOU well. you treat them Wen.
Eye for an eye. tooth for tooth
That. some people say. IS business
but il is monstrous- The third rule IS
The brass rule: Get there. II takes
