Pres. American Society for Thrift

School DAYS will soon be here again.
With them will come renewed op'

thrift IN the minds and hearts o'
those who shall rule the destinies ot
the nation tomorrow.
L. Is gratifying that progress Is
being made Ia the development of
teaching thrift In the schools, for
greater attention Is being given TO
his important fundamental OF edh

A VITAL MESSAGE TO
BUSINESS AMERICA

While sitting in the Olym--
pic Theatre in Chicago, p.
c. Dings read between the
acts an editorial published
in the program for the eve
ming. 1t was labeled "A
Vital Message to Business
America" When he read
it he thought how well it
would be to have the same
message go into every Am
erican home and in order
to give it an opportunity to
go into the home of a few
of his friends in Oklahoma
he sends it to the Ardmore.
ite. We find pleasure in
sending the message on.
Here it is:
This is the time for every
brain and hand to utilize
every atom of energy, every
constructive thought, every
helpful suggestion that will
furnish more power to the
business motor.
This is the time when the
generals of business must
take off their coats. roll up
their sleeves, spit on their
hands and re-vim every de-
partment inside and out.
1907 management must
register ll0Fc and more.
This is the time when raw
material men must Join
forces with manufacturers,
without fear or favor, to
keep production on an even
keel with both hands on the
wheel.
This is the time when
manufacturers must co-ordi-
nate their interests with
wholesalers in a will to win
by working together.
This is the time when
wholesalers must cooperate
to the fullest extent with re-
tailers by the suggestion of
better methods. Showing a
merchant how to sell more
is to show him to buy more.
This is the time when
entire organizations should
be on the road selling pros
perity, and star statesmen
should not ignore one-night
stands. Beating the brush
for business is more profit
able than killing time at
home.
This is the time when re-
tailers must take advantage
Of every legitimate means
of inducing business by
catering to the public needs
at equitable prices for de-
pendable goods. Business
may be encouraged when II
cannot be forced.
This is the time for the
salespeople behind the coun-
ter to remember that truth.
courtesy and smiling service
are the great assets of per.
sonal success.
Inertia begets inertia
every complaint imagines
another.
