The confidence inspired by correct
attire is a tremendous asset to the man who
has to make his own living.
A wealthy man can possibly afford to look shabby
eVcn then his taste is questionable but the ordinary
human who is hustling to produce results should
shoulder the handicap of being poorly dressed.
Good clothes cost little more than poor ones, and are
vastly more economical ultimately.
