THE SURVIVORS

II you have a job young man,
stay with it. Time was when ii a
youngster went to the city q garage
would pay hin, $35,, q weeg to work
the jack and turn bolts. but If YOU
go there snow, the Salvation Army
may have to look after you.-Texas
Signal.
The garage helper could demand
S35 week for hammering cars
with a monkey wrench when the
manager was able 20 charge 81 to
- an hour for rolling cigarettes.
The careless days are coming to a
close now.
There are still plenty of demands
for help. and lots ,of good jobs.
Those who now hold the good jobs
are holding them because they de-
serve them, mt because the boss
can't get somebody else. There was
lot Of inefficiency and indiner-
ence when there were more jobs
than workmen. That was natural.

take on the airs q ,dSfandepce: Bat
from this time ID, the better work
that q man does the better chance
he has and he will survive the
pangs OF readjustmeut. Men Of
wisdom. seeing the truth, will not
fail to profit thereby.--Dallas News.

THE 100000 TOURIST

Tourist traffic yielded Montana a
gross income OF more than 100000
during the past summer, according
to most reliable estimates. 1t is pre-
dicted that this will be increased
next year by at least 25 per cent.
This is a business worth studying,
patronage worth fostering. 1t is
probably true that but few would
exploit these casual visitors because
they will in all likelihood never come
again. On the other hand, this i'm
mense trade has been accepted by
Montana business men argely as a
matter of course.
The questions which Montana mer-
chants might ask themselves are:
Could this business be increased: ?
Can We make sure that the CUSTOM
ers of last year will remember us
and pay Us a visit if they come out
this year. or direct their neighbors
to seek up ont when coming to the
park? Can our town make them
more welcome during the coming
year than it did III the past?
The tourist business. many think,
is in its infancy. It is worth con-
worth fostering, worth go
ing after. There sre many reasons
why the tourist should find kind hos
pitslity and the best of service every
where as he crosses Montana. We
want him to remember us kindly and
come again.---Montana Development
Association.
