THAT IS GENIUS." "There are men who could write a few words on a piece of paper and make it worth a million dollars. THAT IS CAPITAL." "A merchant can take $5.00 worth of steel and make it into watch springs that will sell for $1,000. THAT IS SKILL." "Rembrandt could take a fifty cent piece of canvas, paint a picture on it and make it worth $1,000. THAT IS ART." "A merchant can take merchandise that cost 75 sell it for one dollar. BUSINESS." "Your secretary can write a check for $10,000 but it wouldn't be worth a cent to anyone. THAT IS TOUGH." "I know a man who is so absent- minded that he often thinks he left his watch at home and then takes it out to see if he has time to go home after it. THAT IS AWFUL." "There are men who belong to your Chamber of Commerce who pay their dues and get their names on the ros- ter, but never come. THAT IS PLAIN DARN FOOLISHNESS." "There are other men who will not join the association to help the cause along and incidentally help themselves. THAT IS SELFISHNESS." "There are a few men, and thank goodness, only a few, who think they a business without the help THAT IS PLAIN IG- a piece of cents and THAT. TS of anyone. NORANCE." "But thank goodness there are some live ones who get together for the ad- vancement of business and town ideals. THAT IS CO-OPERATION." "If all business don't get together measures against them, there won't be any business. THAT 1S ALL." IN NEW LOCATION Mrs. Gertrude M.
