It Is May in the Store, Though It Be March Outdoors
To Manage Well With a Little
Is Not a Small Matter
It is a sign of a pood chauffeur when you see him turn
his car around in-flie little room of a close corner.
One must study-Jiard to do. a thing cleverly in a small
space or with scant means.
Taking good care of a small sum, saved week by week,
has heen in thousands of cases the foundation or ajarge
fortune.
It has been frequently stated during the recent war that
many battles were lost and wen back in the last half of a day
of hard fighting.
The saying of Captain Lawrence: "Don't give up the
ship," has redoubled the efforts of men in a struggle and
turned the tide of disaster to success. We are never done
trying to win out; every obstacle is making this a great Store.
