to the care Of the men who fought for it.
Ii really grateful and it must be that we are
let it be demonstrated without further delay argument
ARE YOU A SELF STARTER OR DO YOU HAVE
TO BE CRANKED?
The greatest time and effort that has been in
vented for the automobile is the self-starter
Nobody who has used one would go back to the old
fashioned crank that strained your back always and
broke your arm occasionally.
It means getting under way quickly and easily
and the up-to7date wants just thatspeed and eff
cheney.
Are you seIfstarter or do you have to be cranked?
When you get to the office in the morning do you
have to be told what to DO have you mapped out
days work since you left the office yesterday?
Have you thought Of something that will help the
business while you away from it. or were YOU too
busy onesteppng to give the of your bread and
butter any mental attention?
If the boss should be away tomorrow and there was
to tell you what to do would YOU have to be idle all
day have you something planned for just such an
emergency?
Did you try surprising your employer with
NEW idea? Not knock for some of your fellow work
ers but constructive suggestion for the business
whole?
Knocking the other fellow doesn't boost you You
way.
IF you want get attention the surest way to do it
is to do something worth attention.
When the alarm rings in the engine house everybody
there gets ready to go to the fire. But it out
sight and hearing at the other end of perhaps miles of
electric wire who broke the glass and started the bell
ringing.
You may think you are long way from the mana
gers room the foreman desk the propretors ear
but there invisible wires that lead from you to him
and when the bell rings he inquiries about it, and if you
the at the other end of the wire you will get the
attention you deserve
But if you the sort who never does anything e1-
cept when you told if you always have to be started
if you always have to be craned the most attention you
will get from your supeliors is the suggestion: eve bet
ter get somebody else for that job.''
There is of course such thing as being nuisance
in making suggestions The way to avoid that is think
your ideas thoroughly before you offer them
sderaton
Study conditions and make sure that what you have
in mind is really worth while If you find it isn't if
you cannot better your idea and make it worth while
Don't throw an idea away neglect it.
Nobody ever raised oak tree from that
he kept in his pocket One of the severest rebues in the
Bible that given to the who took his talent and
buried it and when the time for accounting had
nothing to deliver except what had been given him
The easiest and surest way to success is to keep
thinking
You can think while you working That is about
the best time to think.
You may way to time effort, to increase
production or lessen cost.
There is better way get the attention Of the big
boss than to multiply his profits by increasing his output
OF cutting down his expense.
But if he has to tell you how do it; if the results
all the products Of his suggestions and of yours
if he has to turn the crank to get you running you
not entitled to any particular attention and you will not
get it.
