THE CLOTHMAKER
Real Value
Real value lies not in machines,
clothes, victuals, gold
and silver. "The substance of
things not seen" with the human
eye?goodness, truth, reliability,
loyalty, charity,
ideas?these are the "things"
that count most.
An idea, a thought, an urge
to improve or make better,
while at work or play, if entertained
and given its nat- ]
ural inclination to grow, may ]
prove to be of far greater ;
value than the product of j
many days of manual toil. ]
An idea can well multiply j
the value of your time from \
ten cents to ten dollars or ten i
thousand dollars an hour. All
of our so-called physical advancement
and progress has
come from "ideas" ? the <
"things" of real value. f
Good Will
Good Will is the friend of
every man. the foe of none.
The most precious thing anyone?man
or mill, anybody or
anything ? can have is the
good will of others. It is
something as fragile as an
orchid?and as beautiful! As
precious as a gold nugget?
and as hard to find. As powerful
as a great turbine?and
as hard to build. As wonderful
as youth?and almost as
hard to keep.
This thing called Good Will
is not easy to measure or appraise.
It has neither length
nor breadth nor thickness ?
yet it is the one indispensable
element in the foundation
of any business. It is the <
one all-powerful force in lifting
a business from obscurity i
to success. <
Good Will is the "priceless
ingredient" of both business
and personal success. Guard '
what you have with vigilance (
and seek diligently to secure
even more.
The Reason
The remarkable increase in 1
wages and better living in
the last two decades can be
largely attributed to new inventions,
large capital investment,
labor-saving machinery,
research, wiser management
and greater productivity.
MAKE QUALITY YOUR
RULE
"It's the exception that
proves the rule."
Making everv effort to do
quality work all the time is
a good rule to follow. The attitude
you take toward your
own mistakes and the way
you handle them, show very
quickly whether such mistakes
are exceptions, or the
thing your fellow workers
and supervisors car. expect
from you as a general rule.
mini if \r ic \r n n r
* rule", you will never treat
a mistake as the thin^ to be
expected.
