FL,Es AND sLsooE.H HAMMERS.

FLIES AND SLEo0E- HAMMERS
The story goes something like this:
The bald headed man was bothered
~ { ny which persistently buzzed
around his unprotected scalp. lie
tried. and frequently nearly caught
the pesky nuisance-but the ny cvi-
IDENTIFY enjoyed flirting with death.
PhgA passer-by. seeing the predica-
mont the bald headed man was IN
decided to act the part OF good
Samaritan. Seizing a sledge ham
mer which q workman had left in
the road, he crept stealthily mp to
the bald headed man and waited
,breathiessly for the fly to settle.
!, After q few spasmodic buzxes the
ny came 10 rest right on the top OF
the bald head. The passer-'by quiet
ly swung the. sledge hammer and
aimed Justify and tr.ly at the fly.
He killed the hy-but tho bald
headed man ceased : TO have any
further interest in files or anything
else!
Now let's see what this has to do
with business.
Just this: ID.
Business is made up OF big and
little factors. Some things are OF
primary, Importance, others are
desirable but not essential. Some
times big things 60 wrong. more
frequently minor cogs In the busi-
ness machine slip,
A duty of the executive Is to adj
just these problems with as little
friction and with as little waste en-
ergy as possible.
II an employee is tardy in coming
to work. the hardness can be re-
moved by dismissing the worker
but that would be killing a ny with
q sIedge hammer.
A customer may be dilatory In
paying his account. The. credit man
ager might start all the ponderous
machinery Of law to force payment
and the sledge hammer would kill
another fly.
Suppose that tho tardy worker Is
first reasoned with-that there Is
mere flick at the hy-if that does not
kill the trouble try little stronger
swat at the fiv. A series OF prem
iums for prompt regular attendance
and a series OF penalties for tardi-
ness should efYectually kill the ny
and stiI1 let the patient live
A well reasoned. tactful letter
would probably kill the "ny' in the
case OF the overdue creditor. OF
course. II the man IL beyond re-
demption--use the sledge hammer
Sledge hammers. however, are very
seldom required In business. -
When next you have problem. to
be solved decide how big a "fiy'' IT y
and, use. energy and weapons big
enough TO XIII the "hy" without in
juring the patient

!, done except thru tho main issue.
Tho main Issue Is. OF course, TO
render service TO tho community at
large. The business which is con-
structive In its policy 10 rendering
service and success Is measured by
the amount Of service which the
business renders.
Service In rewarded by money--to
try to get money without first rem
dering service 10 plain thievery'
Business with q big "B" Is very
complicated. We need banks and
broom makers. steel mills and street
sweepers, ships and scaling wax,
theaters and Transfers. artists and
advertisins--all who contribute con-
structively to business are rendering
service and tho quality Of their serv-
Toe IL tho measure Of their reward.
n We could increase everybody's
service IN quantity and-more I'm
portant still--in quality everybody's
genuine and permanent income would
increase.
Az business 10 successful merely
to the extent Of the applied abilities
OF workers in business, 1t ID evident
that the real Job Of business today Is
tn build men.
Let us not worry overmuch about
routine, detail and method but let
us give serious thought followed
promptly by we'll directed action to
the problem Of developing the abili-
ties and inclinations Of men and
women.
Ones success Il measured by ones
applied ability. Increase by educa-
ton and encouragement the abilities
OF men and business will prosper and
with It everyone In business
Build men and business VIII grow
automatically. Build men and happi-
ness increases. Rusld mon and pros

service well and enthusiastically per-
formed will be assured. Build men
and the per7nanency Of business Is

Cloth capes for the street also have

of these fashions certain women use
the same fur for both cloaks-;n the
