He Forgot to Get a Transfer

An Office boy employed in one of the large
banks in Boston was sent to one of the ad
jacent towns to collect a small amount of
money due the cashier of the bank, a mat
er separate from the bank business. This
trip should not have taken over two hours,
but it was more than FIVE hours before the
boy returned.

boy simply.

that?'' 81 did, consider that it was

THAT principle lived up to is one of the
cornerstones of real success in this world.

of the bookkeepers in the bank. The day
came that another teller was required by the
bank. The choice was between the former
Office boy and another employe of the bank.

qualites-a rather unusual percentage. No
