te average man takes in that sort OF
<.asoning, but we do know that too
uch pessimistic talk does have and
having q bad effect on conditions.

lie belief that things are not as bad

tuation in the business world could
je much worse, is the fellow who is
sting along best during these criti.

k.boring man, who stops to worry
bout what tomorrow may bring
