Show HOW TO GET ALONG. Do not slop to tell stories in basiness hours. 5 If you have a place of business, be found there when wanted, or in business busi-ness hours. No man can get rich by loungiog in stores aud saloons. Never "fool" in business matters. Have order, system, regularity, liberality lib-erality nnd promptness. Never buy an article you don't need simply because if. is cheap, and the man who sells will take it out in trade. Endeavor to avoid hard words and personalities. Trade is money. Do not kick every stone in the path. More miles can be made in a day by going steadily on than stopping. Pay as you go. A man of honor respects hia word as ho does his bond. Aid, but never beg". Help others when you can, but never give what you cannot afford to, simply because it is fashionable. Learn to say "no." No necessity of snapping it out, dog-fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Have but lew confidants, and the fewer the better. Uso your own brains rather than those of others. i Learn to think and act for yourself. : ; Be vigilant. Keep ahead, rather than behind the times. |
