(Wyomlng JournaD
Two of the largest jewery stores in Chicago are those
of Marshall Field & Company and G. D. Peacock.
Peacocks was established in 1887. A few days ago Pea
cock moved into a magnificent new store.
Just a square away is the Marshall Field jewelry store.
1t has rows and rows of cases full of glttering jewels, watches
and necklaces. 1t is very anxious to sell them to the public.
The new Peacock store attracted a great throng to see its
splendid quarters and glittering cases of beautiful jewery.
.sarurally that draws the public away from Marshall Fields.
The old days of warfare to get the crowd are ending. me
day Peacock opened the new store, Marshall Field came out
with box-ads in the Chicago newspapers. Congratulations to
the House of Peacock" was the heading. And the ads were
all devoted to congratulating Peacock on five generations of
progress and the prestige it has given State street.
And the next day Peacock took great space in the news
papers to run an ad headed, Thanks for a Most Unusual
Courtesy" It explained that Fields and Peacocks are COM
petitors, but that Field has taken a new step in business pro-
gress. This voluntary and unexpected courtesy represents
the art of business"
Another house, a banking institution also ran an ad the
same day with Fields congratulating Peacock.
This is the spirit of modern legitimate business service. The
~cut-throat days are fast passing. One business that build up a
reputation for honesty and right service puts confidence into
the heart of all the public for all business houses. This brings
benefit to all. Two competing, cooperating houses are better
than one, a dozen better than two, if the field can support them.
For it also treasures the buying public that there is no monopoly
or extortion.
It is a calamity to all legitimate business when one house
fails-a victory for all when one wins.

WORK AND PLAY

Out in the little village of Lucas,
Kan, where the plains begin, re-
sides a man 81 years of age. who
is regarded by his neighbors as
an eccentric person. He has done
what his neighbors look upon as
queer things, yet life with him seem
to have been a success. Here is
some OF his philosophy.
Work is doing something you
don't like to do. I was a fool; 1
worked fifty years. Then l went to
playing. 1 forgot when I fed pigs
for play they got fat; il ! fed them
for profit I fed them too much and
they died. ! vi did make any
money as long as / worked. I
lost nearly everything except my
wife.
Then / got to playing at farm
ing, and my mules and horses got
to making me money, and the land
grew in value. 1t got SO valuable
that a mar came along with a
check book and ran me off. Then
II moved into town and 1t looked
like I was going to dry rot and be
tit for the bone yard, and / tool
to playing again"
There is a whole sermon in the
first sentence of the above-Work
is doing something you don't like
to do" Most of the misfits in this
world are just working and are IN
happy. Think hat over Happy,
contented persons are doing things
they enjoy. No job is hard for the
person who likes his work. Hours
of patient toll are not tiresome to
the one interested in his task. All
the material and machinery in the
world placed right at hand will not
develop a real genius or great in
lventor unless he be interestedtin his
work. Most of the great inventors
have. had difficulty in finding ma
lterial to work with, have made their
Invention out of scraps, gathered
piece by piece, yet they worked
without feeling weary. Hours of
toll brought contentment. How
many of us really understand the
difference between work and play?
