TIPS FOR YOUNG MEN

AVERAGE YOUTH GAN MANUFACTURE OWN “PULL.” One Way le. to Do All Your Wo»Ji Well and Take an Interest in IL

A great many young people claim that they have no “pull” and hence cannot get along rapidly. Let me say that you can manufacture your own “pull.” There are two ways of doing this, but the most effective way is to cent bine the two. One way Is to do your work so well, and take such an Interest in it that you will have a decided “pull" with your employer. This is the best kind. The other way is to make friends, especially of people who are older and more experienced than you are. It is hot generally known, but it Is a fact nevertheless, that business men like to be noticed by young people. Make their acquaintance, and when you meet them, smile and speak pleasantly. Do not wait for them to speak to you, because frequently their mind Is occupied and they do not see you until you speak. Keep up this practice and you will soon find that you have a Ust of friends who constitute a "puU” that Is more valuable than that of any wealthy relative. You would be surprised to know how frequently business men discuss the merits or demerits of young people who have only recently entered some office.
