10 get busy until harvest

tured in their imagination that will come?
1t is possible that the larger portion OF these

turn. They may be expecting days when there
more work than workmen, when there more
money than intelligence to use it, when speculation
was rife and men became money mad.
Those days gone They were never here
before they may return and the man who
waits for them will be waiting in vain.

ness
If your business needs change do not look TO
the outside world and to general business conditions
TO produce that change. Bring it about yourself
The man who merely floats with the times and makes
money when it is plentiful and loses money when it
is is creature OF circumstances entirely he
does his business bur he lets his business

his prosperity
