In my office the only thing we use a hammer for is to nail q lie;
much of a reputation to bust. A knock is a boost, whether you Or

He does not know or believe in any of these lowlived contempt
BILE, underhand tricks to sell his goods or to upset another mans
deal. He does not have to. His policy is up-to-date-on-thelevel
merchandising.
The Big Man crows and grows, pays his bills, maintains his
trade, but of his neighbors and his American competitors. Folks
do not cross the street when he comes along, but on the contrary
are glad to meet him and always have a good word for him. He
is never reported to any association or agency and his rating is
based on his honor more than his dollars. In this trade Of ours,
we have both kinds; Big Men and Small. Where do you stand
Brother? Ask yourself. Am I a big man? Am I doing all I can
to better conditions in our trade? Can I look my family in the
face each evening and honestly feel I I'M what they think am,
Am I worthy of their respect and trust, and that of my friends ?
Or am I a character assassnator, a reputation destroyer, an in
suffer of friendship, who delights or aids in running reputation
and Infringing condolences? Has my conscience a price? Am I
fair?
Think it over Brother! Find out where you stand. The road to
Happiness and Contentment is a rugged road open to us all. Steep
and billy though it be and stormy at times; yet ever and anon we
pass fields of blossoms rare and sweet, whose perfume we recog-
nize as Good Will, Chrty and the B1o:'.a~'sood of Man, and then
we get all the joy of life and see its beauty, it's brightness, it's
cheer and it's glory. Pass by the pathways known as Hate,
jealousy, Fear, Cowardice and Spite, for they lead to the morass
of Distrust, Revenge and Destruction.
Old Moses in his great wisdom carved, or had carved, on the
so good that nearly all the people Of the earth read themand the
millions and millions yet to come will read them too. They have
been translated in every language and will live as long as this old
world of ours. In plain English it amounts to this: "Do right by
your neighbor and by yourself.
Think it over Brother! It is not half bad. Easy to remember,
but hard to live up to you may say-but a real man can do it.
