PUTTING 1T OVER.

The Guy that puts it over is the fel.
low whom we like. He's an earnest,
cheerful worker and is bound to make
a strike. Things for him are always
moving in the way that they should
go. He has confidence and hustles;
times for him are never slow. He
believes in keeping busy; duty calls,
he does not shirk, knowing better
things will follow If he's faithful to
his work. He's the Guy that puts it
over, he's the one that wins the
prize. He has learned the game and
plays it, Plays it hard and plays it
wise. His success makes people won
der, Many say it's his good luck, But
the one who puts it over, Knows it's
all hard work and pluck. He has
gained success by inches-He has
fought hard all the way, Burning mid
night Oil and planning, while his pals
were in the hay. You can land the
same as he has, You can also get a
place, If you care to fight the battles
winning out will make you face. Get
