SELF-STARTERS

Be a self-starter and get < ahead in the world. —— Don’t be the kind that must ‘ be addressed In an angry tone - If they are to be Impressed. Such a man gives honest serv- ‘ ice at all times, and this is what - counts in the work-a-day world. ■ It should be sufficient for any 1 employer or superior officer to ■ pleasantly request certain serv- . ices from you. Don’t be the sort of an em- ‘ ployee who must have instrue- - tions pounded into him before ‘ they have any effect,» . It is too expensive to hire men - to work and then have to hire ' others to watch them every min- < ute that proper service may be ■ secured. There are two kinds of men in ‘ this world—those who have to < be “cranked up” and self-start- ‘ ers. As employees the first are « unprofitable. Therefore: The willing worker, the man « who acts immediately upon in- < sanctions which are pleasantly ; given to him, is the sort of em- - ployee who is worth having. MM*' The man who unust be i whacked and pounded into ae- ; tlon is no good in any establish- ‘ inent, and the soonef such men ; get the gate the better for their < employers.
