trades involving Nationals are flying
around this town. but none can be veri-
fed. There are said TO be deals in
the making that would transfer West

fielder and a catcher and one that
would send Goslin to the Tigers for
an outfielder and a pitcher. Officiais

In a company Of mmercialy-minde individuals IN

Somebody said he wouldn't be anybody's yes-man, and
somebody else said, You'd get farther with your boss
II you yessed him. Bosses like to pretend that tthey
don't require yes-men, but all the same they get might

The sentiment seemed TO receive rather general ap-

have alt his jokes laughed IT and sl his ideas praised.
There il just enough truth in the contention to lead
: good many trusted employees astray. I believe about
the only j~ustifiable generalization you can make IN
the subject is this:
The business man who is really big doesn't place
any value on the yes-man.
And. Of course, YOU should note this very important
corollary:

Business men are human. I suppose. n = man has

his jokes rather good. Also, he Is likely to seek sur

confidential his position. is apt to irritate such a man
by suggesting that the boss is wrong about some mat
ter pertaining to the business.
That ~ the ordinary successful business man. tt

associated with the ordinary ono. He is the successful
business man who knows within himself that many
