TRY THE OTHER TACK
Don't talk pessimism. It puts sim-
ilar ideas into the minds of other
people, and such Ideas create doubt
and uncertainty and hamper the or­
dinary progress of commercial activ­
ity and expansion.
If you can’t see anything good in
the future get some other fellow to
do your looking for you until you
can adjust yourself to conditions and
acquire a better perspective of affairs
in general.
If a man goes out in the morning
and tells every person he meets that
he is sick, and keeps up the fiction
from day to day, it will grow on-him
until he is in reality unfit for bus­
iness.
It is so tn the business world. If
you want to create disaster go out
and preach it until other people be­
gin to take stock in what you say and
to see things as you do. Then you
will soon have disaster—at least for
yourself.
But if you want better times go
out and preach them, and put the
joy of confidence into other hearts
as well as into your own. The res­
ponse will be just as great.
Be a sport, and act the part.
You can do it! Very few things
are impossible of accomplishment in
this world of modern men.
‘ I can’t” is an expression which
is used about a thousand times where
it should be used but once. A man
thinks he can’t do a thing simply be­
cause he is too lazy or indifferent to
exert the necessary energy.
If he would bring his will power
and his energy and perseverance into
play he would find that accomplish­
ing difficult things is but one of the
many incidents of a day.
“Can’t 1
He would laugh at the word as
the refuge of weaklings and the
father of incompetency.
"I Will!”
And you bet he would.

OF TODAY
We do not advise housewives to buy lavish­
ly these days. But careful buying of only re­
liable groceries, and avoiding all waste, will go
far toward keeping down the mounting cost of
the table. We will be glad to cooperate with
you to the extent of our ability—and that means
much to you, for we buy as economically as
possible and sell in the same manner.
We invite your cooperation in an endeavor
to keep down the cost of the daily table.
