To be so great that we are of no use to anybody but ourselves is not a place to be desired. A practical Boston merchant was asked of the character of a certain high-toned, rich, transcen dentalist and he replied: 'He is one of those men who have soarings after the infinite and divings into the unfathomable, but he never pays cash." In other words;, he doesn't make good at the time expected. There are 'lots of educated dreamers and spiritual speculators who never get anywhere nractically. An ounce of earnest action to help people, plain and poor, to brighten their way by showing them opportunity to get. music into their lives is worth tons of propositions and suggestions. We are trying to make our hands inventive and our minds forceful, as we show by this Store. Doit! ' Signed Dte. ill, 1920.
