Put Children to Bed

Children never admit they are
tired as long as there is some excit-
ing activity going on, so it is neces-
sary for adults to watch for the first
signs of fatigue and quietly and
calmly insist on bedtime for the
youngsters. Parents who are con-
cerned with the welfare of their chill
dren know that sufficient hours of
sleep on level, firm sleeping equip
ment are of vital Importance to nor
NAL growth and development.

GOODWILL
Rambling Thoughts BY The
Philosopher

Many people regard the "good
will'' of a concern as more or less
an airy nothing. They are inclined
to smile at it.
Looked at one way, it seems
quite tenucus. Over a century ago
Lord Eldon defined goodwill as
the probability that the old GUS
toners would resort to the old
place."
In the practical business world,
however, this mere tendency of
mind is of immense and solid value.
Millions of money have been
spent for Sheffield cutlery, for
Delft pottery, for Venice Glass, for
Paris fashions for Gobelin Tapes
try and for Cremona victims, mon
ey which was drawn to these goods
simply because of goodwill.
Goodwill may be intangible and
invisible, but so is electricity. And
electricity is very powerful.
What is known as "watered
stock" has in many instances been
nothing but good will. And this was
so powerful that the profits accu-
muIated squeezed out the water,
and the public has eventually pur-
chased the stocks at a price many
times the value of that originally
represented by the visible assets.
All business is built on service,
and goodwill representing public
opinion ofsthat service comes near
to being the foundation of business.
Great fortunes are built up on
goodwill which is fed by proper
advertising.
In times past monopoly was sup
posed to be the basis of great mer-
chandising success. In the modern
world, however, monopoly is be-
coming impossible. In other words,
goodwill is eating up monopoly.
Goodwill recognizes the public
as the final arbiter. It makes a
mans success rest not upon a pat
ent right or a government privl-
lege, but upon the favor of the peo-
pie.
In stead of this foundation being
a shifting or an uncertain one, its
solidity will be made plain to you
if you will step into the next shop
and inquire what goods have the
greatest sale. You will find that it
is those goods which rest upon a
strong and vigorous goodwill
which has been built up by persis-
tent and judicious advertising.
For instead of being by-product
of modern business goodwill is its
very basis.
