Inside of ten( minutes they telephoned back to us that they had caught a burglar after he had tried to j'ump out of the window. His pockets were full of money and valuables belonging to the subscriber. This is not an unusual case.

If you pass all three, you are a useful man. If you pass but two, you are just an ordinary citizen a little less than a success, a little more than a failure. If you pass but one, you are one of the most pitiable things in life a man in business who means nothing to his business. Can you get That is the first a job or a test. In America it is business T not hard. It simply involves the ability to get someone to give you a chance and pay you money on the theory that you will soon earn more. Gain the confidence of one in dividual and you have passed Test No. i. Can you make This test is a your business little more devilish. grow? Those who cun pass it are looked upon as men who are "making good." They are the men who become executives, mana gers, department heads, buyers, sales men, superintendents. They are usu ally in line for promotion. Prove that you can gain and hold the confidence of several people, a few more every year, and you have passed Test No. 2. Can you grow This is the su as fast as preme test. It is your business? tnis that keeps grey-haired men toiling at their desks while others are saying, "Why does he work ? If I had as much money as he has, I would have quit long 'ago." For a business is like a child once it starts growing it may easily out strip in size and weight those who v bred and nurtured it When your business begins to groW you must not only grow your self, but you must see that those about you grow as rapidly as their jobs are growing. You must become national -minded instead of, local minded. When your business reaches the point where you must think in terms oi the whole people, you must look to it that the whole people think in terms of your business and -its goods or service. Unless you can grow, you will be outgrown, and some day people will say, "There is a new bunch in control down there now." To grow as fast as a big business can grow, means that you must win and hold the confidence of the people of the United States of America. That is Test No. 3. Of the many firms that arc doing national advertising, a few know that this is true. The others are advertis ing without knowing why.
