CIVILITY

THERE Is an old cOpybook maxim
= to the effect that kind words cost
iothing and are worth much.
Anything that costs nothing and is
worth much Is a good investment. We
know Of no better investment than
civility.
Civility Is your best introduction to
job. 1t is your best introduction to
success. The genius, perhaps, can dis
pense with it. But geniuses are scarce.
No ordinary man can afford to do with
out It, No matter how great your abil
ity or how extensive your education,
without eivility you will be set down
at the start as gloom, and nobody
wants glooms about the place.
Craftsmanship, which plays an impor.
tant part in any business whether 1t
is the merchants, the Doctors or the
laborer's, cannot be successfully man
aged without civility.
From your own experience you know
how often you have gone into a store,
intending to buy, and have been driven
away by the bad manners Of a stupid
clerk.
The great statesmen practice civility
as their cardinal principle. They are
never servile, but they are always civil.
Whatever your business or trade,
you are selling your services. To sell
them you must first make good i'm
preston. And to makea good impress
sion you must be civil
We repeat~the word over and over
again because Of It's great Importance
You have only TO look about you to
understand how Important 1t is.
Who is the man given first chance
at new work IN any Office? The man
who, by his activity, has attracted the
interest Of the man higher up.
Whom would you prefer to have
| around you, in case you were boss
the man who Is civil or the man who
seemed always suilen and discomfort
| ed7
Civility, the cheapest, Of all commod-
tiles, is also the most valuable. 1t Is,
of course not the only requisite Of sue
cess. To succeed you must have first
brains, then industry and application.
But 1t Is civility that advertises your
qualities, gains them a hearing and
keeps them constantly before the
| minds Of the men who are their pur-
chasers,
Cultivate It, If you lack 1t. It will
prove worth more than you will ever
believe until you get little business
