In a city where the manufac- ture of furniture constitutes such a big percentage of the industrial ac- tivity, the feeling of optimism which seems to prevail in the furniture trade at the present time is of considerable import. The more optimistic may even be moved to hum the tune of "Better Times Are Coming." Judging from the remarks of the Stratford manufacturers, the out- standing feature of the show seems to have been the business which was done with western buyers. Previous to the show, it had been the feeling that these men would-probably be in attendance but that their purpose! would be to sample rather than place | orders. were pleasantly surprised to find that | the western men had other things in| mind.

That if you'and your job are not friends it ig better to part company. That the longer you live, if you live right the less you will think of your- self. That following the line of least re- sistance is what makes. ci and men. crookedia7 =a That determination ghee hard work to nothing. Procrastination makes hard work out of nothing. That to keep watching, to keep working, to let the brain and hand go together that is the secret of success. Q--Is it ever permissible for young woman to ask a man she has never met to call at her home? A--yYes; if she asks him to call for the laundry.
