Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 133, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 June 1916 — DOLLARS AND DINNER PAILS [ARTICLE]
DOLLARS AND DINNER PAILS
Most people measure business success by the amount of money a man makes. You want the money to buy comforts. That is your object, is it not? If money will not buy comfort, of what use is it? Better not have two coppers to rub together and be at peace with the world and the possessor of. a, few good friends than possess millions and be alone in the world. You say you envy the man with mil- o lions for the luxuries he can buy, but as a matter of fact you may be far richer than he. He envies you your freedom from care, and your warm, true friends. The man who ndt>s by you in a limousine, while you sit near your work and eat your dinner from a wellfilled dinner pail, would often give the car if he were ablo to eat the content* of that pail with a relish. It is the state of mind and physical being which make for happiness. Peace and comfort cannot be bought with shekels. Better go without the dollars, if you must have misery as a running partner.—Chicago American.
