"There never was anything made but that
someone else made it worse-and sold it for less"
Just bear this in mind the next time one of these

If we had enough money to go away some
place for the winter (and we haven't, goodness
and our banker-knows) we'd have an awful

Make resolve to prepare and wrap five
Christmas packages each day from now on until
you have them all wrapped. That procedure
will make you much pleasanter animal to have

ognize it as piece of virtuous advice at that!

woman writing the little poem which heads this
page. At that she said not word too much

we are handing it on to you. The other reason

] heard good old mother say,
Every days Thanksgiving Day;
Every night count each blessing

Which is better, which the best?
