Repair those shoes, save money and materials for war, too. Let your motto be, “Double the wear cn every pair.” FRANK LINES SHOE REPAIR HE days «re «till short; half the nation shivers under a blanket T of snow—but there are signs of spring everywhere if you know, where to look for them. They are little things—such as new seed catalogs," ads clioped^ from magazines, reminders, scribbled on backs of envelopes, of ( things to be done., 4 Thousands of men, all over the country, are making such notes,’1 looking ahead—farmers, manufacturers, storekeepers, bankers. They represent what is called “management,” and they know that to make the most of any season requires pretty careful figuring/, There’s a skill in this management. It’s a skill that men who run , things have in common—that men who run things tucceiefully have got to have. Management’s problems are a good deal alike, ( no matter what the business—getting help, meeting payrolls and. tax payments, making ends meet and having a little left over for . new projects, planning for the future without letting the planning! interfere with the job in hand. ( __ And when you talk with these men, you find they have the same objectives, too. Right now they want to get the war won at the lowest possible cost in lives and suffering. After that’s done,’ they’ll be back on their never-ending job of turning out the ma-l terial things needed to make a better peacetime world. General > tlectric Co., Schenectady, N.
