A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

The poet Goethe, who spent nearly
an entire lifetime in the composition
of one Of his MASTERPIECES, once wrote
that Genius is an infinite capacity
for taking pains"
1t is said that Thomas Gray work
ed with infinite pains for seven
years on his immortal elegy-said
by many critics to mark the highest
literary accomplishment Of any man.
In similar manner, an infinite
capacity for taking pains" generally
spells success in the world of
business.
Almost any successful business
man will agree that it is largely the
little leaks that constitute the great
danger of a business.
He will also tell you that it is the
attention to details and the mastery
of them that brings progress.
In our personal lives-in our
ambitious endeavors to accomplish
success-the same rules hold true.
Through the steady, successful
accomplishment of details, we move
forward. Through successive failure
in small matters we gradually drift
downward to ill-success and possible
ruin.
Very much of the essentials of
good thrift lies in our ability to
master the little things of life.
The successful executive so builds
his organization that leaks and lost
motion viii be done away with to
the greatest possible extent 1t is
true, of course, that men fail many
times because they try to carry too
many details, but this does not mean
that such details are not worthy of
attention. The fault in these cases
lies in inadequate direction
To be truly thrifty one must be
thorough And thoroughness means
taking pains-infinite pains-in all
essentials.
