And capital, even more important, in distinct mentality. the latter often having a greater cash value in founding and maintaining a business enterprise than the product of the United States Mint, which is at par or above it the world around. ' There is" such a thing' as "learned ignorance" that sooner or later is at a heavy discount in business life. While the inscription under the dome of the Manchester Board of Trade Building in Great Britain still holds good, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches," it also still holds good that neither . Names, Traditions Nor Sentimentalities !are sufficient .for firm foundations, singly or collectively, to establish a successful business. Summing up briefly what we are trying to convey to the young men and women who are thinking, and thinking hard, of their future course, it all comes down to this: Given a healthful body and plain, unvarnished common sense, with a mind exercising careful, unhasty, ' well - balanced judgment, the chances are six to one favorable to success.
