Postmaster Paul Boyles made what to mind is
suggestion He advocated the getting busy

paying good deal of rent here and is sadly in

What is Honesty?

| wouldn't dare pose as one
who has a ready answer to all
mental problems or Christian
virtues. Every sound minded
man who deals with the business
1 world has some sense of justice
The more varied his experiences
are, the keener that sense Of
right and wrong becomes.
Every man would rather be
called honest than dishonest re-
CARELESS of the type Of his bust
ness. Every business man wants
the public to feel that his business
is founded on the old proverb
Honesty is the best policy" But
coming to the real truth of his
business policy, does ne extend
it to the very last man regardless
of person. Honesty is always
the same, but policy greatly
varies. The public reads the
word honesty" while the dealer
wraps up a pair of policies.
Go into a store that sells "all
leather shoes" you buy a pair
and at the end of four or five
weeks the paint wears off the
toes. The damp weather reacts
upon the cardboard insoles and
Goth toe caps. You go back to
this all leather" shoe store, and
in a very modest manner present
your shoes for evidence. The
shoes look as if some sixteen
year old boy had mistreated
them. The dealer asks "How
long have you worn them" Your
answer -four weeks" He begins
to tell you that a shoe that will
last him that long in the store is
a good shoe And besides, he
continues, 1--WE sold you that
eleven dollar shoe for six dollars. :"
You begin to wonder if the differ.
ence between eleven and six
dollars was any inducement for
you to buy, and if the difference
doesn't also represent the dealers
policy. But you say "How about
this for an all leather shoe" He
immediately offers you ten do
lars to find any guaranteed all
leather shoe" in his store that
does not have cloth in the toe
and cardboard for an insole. He
tells you that if you get bit that
is your own look out, (even when
you took his word)
If you want a good definition
for an all leather Shoe" shall
be glad to direct you to the shoe
store that will furnish you the
information.
Is this honesty or just simply
business policy? Honesty is The
best policy but not the only one
used in business by a "jugfull."
Use your own judgment when
you buy shoes.
