A certain business had two part
ners. 1t was in the early, struggling
stage. One of the partners was de-
pended upon TO find the money neces-
sary 10 keep the business going. He
paused and PIONEERED before making
expenditures. The other partner was
always urging frcer spending.
The first partner was called away
for six weeks. The other undertook
to look after the finances. When the
first partner returned and asked the
other how he had got along, he re-
ceived this reply:
