Good and Bad Business.
when the word business Is used
a great many OF as think only OF
dollars and cents. To us business is
good only when Il stores. our
shops. u banks, our offices aud
our factories. are filled with those
who want to buy. We think business
Is bad when the customers. the eli
ents. and the buyers forsake our
business homes. This Is where we
err. The truth is. the best business
Is often had when the gold is the
scarcest-when people take time TO
think.
"The avalanche OF gold that
down upon us in 1917, IS and

of us. II covered the best

human sympathy. 1t took AWAY the
personal touch which is so necessary

| want to tell you that those
lays to many men, were days of
,ad business. Men profiteered and
'obbed the weak and helpless OF

atisfy the greed of those who hun
for gold. But, friends, the pen
always, swings back. This is

rumbling into dust-worthless dust,

traitor. 1t was mighty bad business
D get gold in the way that he got
!. The business that mars, and
warts and robs. and rusts and cank-
the soul, is bad business.

our hearts and your very souls.
