An Old Story BUT A GOOD ONE AND WORTH REPEATING In the city of Bagdad lived Hakeem, the Wise One, and, many people went to him for counsel, ^hicb he gave freely to all, asking nothing in return. ' There came to him a young man, who had spent much but got little, and said: '4Tell me, Wise One, what shall I do to receive the most for that which I spend ?" Hakeem,answered, "A thing that is bought or sold has no value unless it contains that which cannot be bought or sold. Look for the Priceless Ingredient." «, "But, what is this Priceless Ingredient?" asked the young man. ' Spoke then the Wise One: "My son, the Priceless Ingredient of every product in the market-place is the Honor and Integrity of him who makes it. Consider his name before you buy."
