JUDGMENT
is that attribute of mind that cither makes our
m
lives f happy and successful, or throws us into the
opposite coudHoti. - '
Good judgment is more to be prized than
riches.
The Business Man of good judgement recog4
nizes the fact that a letter written on a poorly printed
letter-head and enclosed. in a poor quality of enve
lope, that does not bear his name, makes , an unfa
vorable impression that is hard to overcome.
The Business-Man of good judgment should
be as particular about this as about any other de
tail of his business.
The logical conclusion ot this is have your
job printing done at the Coast Mail office and 'show
