....THE FALL OF
PORT ARTMU
K
The gallant defense of Port Arthur by the Russians and the reckless daring of
the Japs, fills the world vrith wonderment.
Gen. Stoessel did not lose Port Arthur; it was lost by the Russian Fleet, for it
seems that however bravely the Army fought, the Navy was very poorly handled.
It's so with modern merchandising; no matter how largo the store or how great
the Promises, it's the "MAN Behind the Gun" who docs the business.
A Clothier must have the requisite Nerve and must be quick in action.
He can hire assistants, but he can't hire Portland men to supply him with
Brain and Grit.
He must himself be The Captain of the Ship. " '
