KEEP YOUR
DATES STRAIGHT

One principle that no man can
AFFORD TO neglect is that of al
ways keeping his engagements.
IL you can be relied upon to do
what you said you would do,
when you said you would do 1t,
your value in any line is en-
hanced thereby. And IL you
can't be relied upon, no amount
OF brllliance will make up for
that deficiency.
To keep your dates straight
you need q calendar Just as much
as you need a watch.
