Show Jmf . . .. DON'T BE A KNOCKER If there is a chance to boom business, boom it. Don't be ia knocker. Don't pull a long face and look as if you had a sour stomach. Hold up your head? smile and hope for better things. Hide your little hammer and try to speak well of others, no matter how small you may really know yourself to be. When a stranger drops in, jolly him. Tell him this is the greatest 'town on earth AND IT IS. Don't discourage him by speaking ill of your neighbors, or of opposition firms. Lead nim to believe that he has AT LAST struck tne place where WHITE PEOPLE live. Don't knock. If you have anything disagreeable to say, talk to yourself. Let the pig do the grunting, the jackass all the kicking. When you are in doubt, mind your own business. There is no end of fun in minding your own business. It makes other people like you. REMEMBER, "words and eggs must be handled with care, for words once spoken and eggs once broken, are not the easiest things to repair. You can't climb the ladder of success by treading on othar people's corn. Keep off their corns. You're , not the only pebble on the beach. There are others, they have brains as well as you. Be a good fellow and soon you'll have a procession of followers. No man ever got rich by trying to make others believe he was the only good man in town or the only man in town who knew anything. Help yourself along by becoming popular, and push your friends with you. It's dead easy. Don't knock. Nobody gets stuck on a knocker. ' . Don't be one or two. Don't fight. Bottle up your wrath and you'll soon ' be a corker. If you must fight, join the army and wear a star. IF YOU MEET A KNOCKER TAKE HIS HAMMER HAM-MER AND HIT HIM WHERE HIS BRAINS OUGHT TO BE, AND KICK HIM WHERE HIS BRAINS ARE. ' |
