You have often heard the express

as a house" While this expression Is
usually applied to a person who is
miserly, it would, nevertheless, be an
excellent thing If every thriftless per

ing upon the wall in frame you can,
almost invariably, look around and see
a great, prosperous establishment.
Whatever has been accomplished by
that man is largely due to the value
he placed upon the first dollar he
made.
