"Hoe Your Own Road from
the Jump"
A Philadelphia business man fifty years ago,
John, TFreedly by name, wrote a most helpful
book that the young fellows of that time used to
read and re-read with profit.
i This was his motto
Self-Dependence and Self-Reliance
V
' This is one of the things he said: "My observa-
' tiohs through life satisfy me that at least nine-
tenths of those most successful in business start in
life without any reliance, . except upon their own
heads and hands hoe their own road from the
jump."
$ It is worth keeping to look at once in a while.
' To start right is important, but all of us need
to be keyed up now and then.
"Hardly any business man is more than half
what he might be. '
Yesterday's achievements are only steps up to
fresh endeavors to make each new day outdo our
best of the past.
Signed"
