Unfort-' unately this fact is too often sight of {n this bustling, get-ahea ambitious age. Men who are determ- ined to get to the top of the ladder) or at least somewhere within strik-) ing distance of the top are likely to) regard any job as nothing but a) means to an end, ag a Stepping-stone | to eomething better. An honest pride| 4n good workmanship is not for) them. Skill or celerity is acquired, only as a method of moving along to something better or, at least, to something more luerative. It is not sufficient for a man to! take an interest in the task of to-) day solely as a means of demonstrat- ing his fitness for something else. Pride of work is an end in itself. Furniture of such rare beauty and [7 erations ago that hugh paid today for any spécimens ean be obtainec The matchless arti- sans of those days put the impress of their love of good work into every piece that they produced. The build- ing of beauty in the form of furni- ture was a lite work, and the verdict of succeeding generations has stamp- ed the old craftsmen as artists in the | fullest sense of the word. There is : mo reason why every man - should not approach his own task, mat- ter whether it is polishing surfaces or driving a truck, with the same Be sense of possibilities & There is real content to be obtain- E ed in liking the work you are doing a and in bringing to it the full meas- E ure of c paners.
