M :A Store With a Serious Sense of Its Duty to the Public VI Many Men Are Like Lincoln's Lazy Stepbrother who bothered his stepbrother, Abraham, by his , wabbling about from one farm or shop where he was employed to another, and never sticking to his job. The President once wrote to him: "Squirming and crawling about from one place to another will do you no good." The prodigious prosperity all 'over the United States affords work -enough for every man and woman, at good wages, willing to work. Take note of what Major General Leonard Wood is doing for unemployed men at his headquarters, in Chicago, 111. It is almost disgraceful for any able-bodied man to be without work these busy days. , Swinging around in lackadaisical way in an attitude of indifference never gets anywhere. This store isin earnest all over.
