WANAMAKER'S
Time to Get Ready for the Warmer Days So Soon to Come
Business Doing Has Its Delights
and It Is a Mistake
when it becomes mere drudgery or
skinflintism. ,
There are inherent, intense and abiding
pleasures if it is organized for mutual
helpfulness as well as for private returns,
and actual service to the public.
Chesterfield 'did weHwhen he faithfully
advised his son that "no man tastes
pleasures truly who does not earn them by
previous business," and few people do
business well who do nothing else.
The mere jingle of money in the
merchant's till will never satisfy a real man.
