There Are Ninety and Nine
Blessings Jn Most Lives
to one misfortune where good health, intelli
gence, integrity, common sense and energy exist.
Looking on the bright side and doing one's
best is half of life's battle.
Impatience, procrastination and idleness are
the chief causes of drifting upon the quicksands
instead of landing in the snug harbor.
The burdens of life minimize when we face
them manfully. Every fiber of one's being must
be interwoven and work harmoniously to succeed
in professions or other useful occupations.
To have the disappointment of a door shut i
in front of us is something, but not everything.
Many a time to be stopped and forced to take
another road has turned out to one's great,
advantage.
The location of this Store came through the
way being blocked to get another property much
desired.
One of our citizens says he makes use of our
Store as a thoroughfare or "to warm up'' during
the Wintry weather.
