HOW HARDNESS PRoSPERED

d. close attention 10 business and
d a certain aptitude for making
the best OF all opportunities.
great and small. Mr.. Hardness had
succeeded before fairly reaching mid
de L in amassing a comfortable
fortune. lie was not ny any means IN
the millionaire class. but he lei, that
he was fairly entitled to spend the
remainder Of his ,ife IN the enjoyment
OF well earned leisure.
only recently he had made the f,nal
payment which gave him the full
ownership Of such a house as ne and
Mrs Hardness had always desired 10
live in. and such moneys as he had
accumulated by laying aside his sur
p.us income were safely invested IN
first class securities. All that remained
10 he done 10 enable him 10 retire COM
ple'ely from tho struggle in which ne
had been 80 long engaged was to find
"A customer who would pay him a fair
price, r perhaps something more than
that, for his we'll established business.
and this he felt that ne could easily do
As an initial step ne set about fixing
the exact price which he could &C.
cept without regrettins tho bargain
aftcrward.
Close figuring was needed ana ne
consulted carefully with Mr.. Good. the
gray haired bookkeeper, who had been
his chief aid and counsellor from the
day he started N business. Other an
ployees had come and gone. but Mr..
Good had remained with him through
prosperity n adversely. always faith
ful. always reliable. always competent.
Mr.. Hardness paid him a fairly liberal
salary, realizing his value, but Mr..
Goods family expenses had prevented
him from saving enough TO buy the
business for himself as no and Mr..
Hardness would both have liked.
Together they figured out the assets
and liabilities and the losses and gains
of the business TIL they knew TO a
penny how it stood anc what the
of It could fairly expect to re.
for II.
The fixed charges. or overhead ex-
penses, were somewhat heavy In COM
parison with the income Of the estab-
iishment. but so careful had they both
been in the conduct OF tho business
that Mr.. Goods salary was the only
thing that could be reduced. No other
employee was paid quite az much al
he was really worth. but II a sub. |
for Mr.. Good could be found |
for say $1,000 a yea less than he vas

the business.
lie knew that Mr.. Good. being now
an elderly man. could no easily OBJ

would he unable to do 40. and II he
were to continue he would
not think of dispensing with 40

such admirable shape. owing to Mr..
administration OF them. that n
Younger and cheaper man could easily
