Make Prosperity by Believing In It


The mind has great deal to do with
bodily health. You can make a per-
son i'll by telling him he looks badly.
The mind of the people has every.
thing to do with personal prosperity.
You can ruin any man with a cam
paign of criticism and yelled illusions
as to his integrity. You can boom any
stock or business by circulating ''bull''
stories of it.
Any nation can become world
power if its people believe in its
course and uphold its ideals hard
enough In fact, hope and faith in our
institutions and in ourselves will
make us prosper, make us happy and
make us healthy.
Our country is the greatest in the
world. We believe this harder than
we did five years ago. 1t has done
wonderful things recently It can do
still greater in the future.
The foundation of greatness is
trade. All progress, all advancement,
all human happiness and comfort, is
based on commerce. If you believe this
hard enough, if each of us has conf
dence in the future of business and
trade, success, nationally and individ-
ually, is assured.
Help make Prosperity by believing
in it.
