foundation. In general, it is satiated
with inability of politics to properly
analyze the present situation and
supply correctives.
There has probably never been
a time in our history when the
country at large was so willing to
look to business for it's leadership
and so firmly convinced that out of
the offices of business men VIII
come the answer to prosperity.
IF we have been restricted OF
our markets by unwise regulations,
It remains for the hard working
business man who cal point to his
own efforts as sufficient indication
that he is doing his best to see that
corrections in these regulations are
made.
IT have always had the utmost be-
lief in courage in salesmanShip. 1t
has been the practice among the
men in our own organization to look
to themselves and not to their mer-
chandise if they found their stocks
were moving slowly, or that busi-
ness was not moving ahead at the
proper rate.
"Once a man realizes the true
weight Of the load which he must
move to extricate himself from an
uncomfortable situation, he will be
surprised at the power of his own
command if he is willing to order
himself to do the job.
"The time is ripe when we must
pick up the working tools we drop
ped to chase the rainbow. It is the
pick and shovel of individual in
dustries that prosperity is searching
for.
profits remain in just as full
volume as they have ever existed in
the past, but they remain for the
man in the business world who
trains his business muscles to do
the best job with the pick, axe
and shovel of real salesmanship.

that this young woman knows what's

Did you ever see anything more fiat
