HOW Much to Worry

assuring him that you know he Will
keep striving for higher and better
things.
Thus put TO work. this radiance
OF yours will become a positive force
in your boys life. His hopes. his
aims. his determined purposes for
his own career will slowly come
into harmony with 'your faithful
optimistic prayers concerning him.
How much to worry? Here Is the
rule: Do il all now. 90 through your
Garden of Gethsemane and come out

spirit OF your own self-supremacy
and will be sure to proft greatly
from the force OF your new birth.

Counter Rules.

When a successful merchant wal
asked how lie worked himself up
from a retail clerk to the general
mauREership he produced a type
written set of rules by which ne
had guided his career and with
which every clerk IN his own estab-
nshment is familiar. Here are the
rules:
Take as much interest in your
work as II you were the proprietor
himself
Acquire a thorough knowledge Of
the goods you are selling.
Cultivate a pleasing personality.
Pleased customers mean increased
sales. and increased sales mean
successful statesmen.
Don't be content merely to all or
ders Any one can be an order
raker. but It requires saIesmsnship
to sell goods.
Constantly study your stock
More sales are lost through lack of
knowledge concerning the goods
than from any other cause.
Experience Is the best teacher any
salesman can nave. and the same IL
true OF any business.
The salesman who has brains. per
severance and initiative Is certain
TO succeed.
Learn to judge human nature
