A Little Food For Thought.

Just suppose you were merchant
and you were attempting to handle a
good line of groceries for the people
Of your community. Suppose, because
you had considerable pride in your
own business, you were carrying first
class goods although your patronage
would hardly warrant it because you
were not dealing with exceptionally
wealthy people who wanted perfect
goods at any price. Then suppose you
had several boxes of apples where your
customers could inspect them and in
one of these boxes, as occasionally
happens, there was an apple that was
not altogether sound. Now if man
came in, looked over all your good
fruit and vegetables and never said a
word about them but went to poking
around and on finding one apple
that was slightly imperfect walked
over with it to you and said,
ut will not pay you to handle
spoiled goods" what would you think !?
We wager your thoughts would not
look we'll in print.
