THE MAN WHO DOES HIS BEST
That money saved is money earn­
ed.
(By James Fidward Hungerford)
No matter how little he’s getting;
No matter how little he’s got.
If he weurs u grin, and is trying to
win—
He’s doing a mighty lot!
No matter how humble his job is,
If he’s striving to reach the crest,
The world has a prize for the fellow
who tries—
I
The man who is doing his best!
That it pays to sgve and invest a
part of what you earn.
That banks puy interest on savings
accounts.
Today he may be at the bottom
Of the ladder to wealth and fame,
On the lowest rung, where he’s
bravely clung,
In spite of the knocks—dead game
But slowly he’s gaining a foothold,
His eyes on the uppermost round;
It’s a hard old climb, but he knows
in time
He will land—and be looking
down 1
The fellow who never surrenders.
And is taking things as they come;
Who never says “quit” and exhibits
grit,
When the whole world’s looking
glum;
The fellow who stnys to the finish
That nothing can hinder or atop.
And who works like sin, is the chap
who’ll win—
And some day he’ll land on top!
