IL Is the enthusiasm which you put in anything which accomplishes. You should have first, a plan. You must have the thing completely sold and every movement is bound to go if you have enough enthusiasm.
 Take Away kaoeker's Charter And whenever you start you first start off with a very few doing all the work You must have the knockers charter taken away from him. There must be a target to shoot at, heart to win, a soul to save. You must expect to hit some thing. You meet one man and ask him, 'How's thingsH Great, he says. You meet another flows thingsg The weather is not good. etc. etc The other may not have taken in a dollar but he says great. He is an optimist.
 Tt is optimism. it is the way you feel and think that helps business. But business will soon grow fl you give enough optimism.
 You never know where to get in- spiration, but get 1t somewhere. Business is good. towns alive. He is the kind of man that boosts the town and helps the town. Live for the future, not the past. Forget about Putnam coming back '-she Is here. Forget the bump the town has had-the town is still here. the factories, the mills and the stores. If everybody helps business will boom. Election is over-prosperity is in the air. The successful men are planning ahead and forging ahead The difference between a rut and a grave is width and depth. A man who thinks nothing Darrow says all men seek pleasure or happiness-that Is the sole object of man in life. If a man is success ful it is his pleasure. He works to that end. Everybody is working to that end Contentment is wealth. but wealth is not always content ment To be happy, to have the true happiness, to have the people happy. to have business successful, banks must have money to invest. Conf dence makes for success and hap piness.

 Forget What Has Happened
 "Yau have something here to fix your mind on. That is the advance meut Of Putnam. its comeback. For get what has happened don't magnify your adversity but harp on vnur possibilities. r you don't be- lieve in your city how can you ex- peet others to? If you don't pat ronize your home stores how can you expect others to come in town and expect to trade? Others will be attracted here because Putnam peo- pie trade at home where they can get service and feel proud that they have helped the other fellow. Sel- hshness never gets anybody any where. It is much better to trade here than to go Go Boston and give vour money there.
 You must have a plan to attract people into your town. If you be- lieve in Putnam, if you have faith in your institutions and everything else, you can talk about Putnam and convince thousands of people that this is the place to trade. Business can be stirred up.
 Trade in Putnam means not only your home town. but means you and everybody who can get here You will find criticisms in every campaign but a man from the out side can give you things you never thought of before; he gives a fresh viewpoint of the campaign. The price doesn't mean anything.
 Follow this line of reasoning civic pride is an attribute worth possessing. People should say they are proud of their factories and hack up their neighbars who are merchants. If you need anything or want anything get it in your home town

All these were noted for certain things-specializing-do doing the thing and doing it we'll
