Show LET'S QUIT ALIBI ING The "panicky" business man is ever with us a slight depression depres-sion and he immediately climbs to the house top and shouts that the country is going to the eternal bow-wows. He is not content to meet the situation courageously by adopting such policies that conform with trade conditions, but instead means to his fellow tradesmen the "seriousness" of what he interprets as an approching calamity. He surrounds himself with an atmosphere of doubt and anxiety; he becomes a destroyer of business morale, destructive to the end of his unfounded conclusions. Business today not only calls for men with faith in the future of our nation, but a faith in the industry they collectively represent men who not only have a true vision of the future but the will and courage to grapple intelligently with the problems that arise from the "ups and downs" of trade and commerce which, as cycles, come and go like summer and winter, and to meet these problems with no loss of warranted optimism. Let's not talk about "poor business," let's plead for "better business." When the monthly sales report shows a lower level, turn on more steam, mix more aggressiveness with your initiative. Spend move time "trying" than "alibi-ing" and you will be a bigger asset to your business ,to your community and to yourself. |
