Making
Money
and
Making
Friends

The object of any business Is
to make money, otherwise
there would be no inducement
for the investment of capital
and energy. Yet, strange as It
may sound, we would ratfnAa,
make friends than make
money. If We make enough
friends we will make all the
money We will require, and we
are making friends so rapidly
that the remarkable growth Of
this store is a topic that is now
generally commented on.
Your satisfaction is worth
more to US than the profit on
one or dozen transactions.
Your confidence is too highly
valued to be imposed upon.
If there is difference of opin-
ion between you and ourselves,
we go more than half way to
meet you.

about TO be (prescience)."

This fact of telepathy Is, of course,
denied and ridiculed by some persons
but such denial and ridicule proceed not
out of reason and judgment, but out of
prejudice and ignorance. Fifty years
ago a surgeon who professed belief In
an agency whereby the broken bones OF
living creature could be photographed
through its flesh and blood and repair of
injury thus facilitated would have been
regarded as a charlatan, fool and
fraud. To-day the X-rays are a common
place adjunct to surgery. / believe that
in a not far distant tomorrow telepathy
will be regarded as almost as much a
thing of simple. commonplace fact as Is
