How to Get Along In the World.

Pay as you go. Never “fool” in business matters. Learn to think and act for yourself. Do not kick every one in your path. Keep ahead rather than behind the times. Don’t stop to tell stories in business hours. Use your own brains rather than those of others. Have order, system, regularity and promptness. Do not meddle with business you know nothing of. A man of honor respects his word as he does his bond. If you have a place of business be found there when wanted. No man can get rich by sitting around stores and saloons. Learn to say no. No necessity of snapping it out dog fashion, but say it firmly and respectfully. Help others when you can, but never give what you cannot afford.to, simply because it is fashionable.
