Save your breath; competition takes care of that one. But everyone should get good and angry about the company that does not make a profit. That company doesn’t pay its share of taxes and soon won’t pay any at all; doesn’t create its share of more and better jobs (soon no jobs at all) and fails to meet the typically-American de mand for better products and better values. A great labor leader once said “The worst enemy of the working man is the company that fails to operate at a profit.” He could have said ‘The worst enemy of the work ingman and of everyone—’, because the company that fails to make a profit is adding to your taxes, endangering your job, cheating you of bargains.” Well, that is an idea, # isn’t it? Does it seem a bit like denouncing a man for being sick? As a matter of practical Economics there is something in the idea of course. If a business concern is prospering it gives employment « to our people; they,in turn, spend their wages for the goods and services which the community offers. And the concern itself pays taxes; its profits are shown by income taxes. No profits, no income taxes. So the Nation and State suffer. The employees pay Sales Taxes, you know. What makes the difference between successful man agement and unprofitable operation? There is such a thing as being on the job, eh? But what is meant by be ing on the job? A man may go to his office at eight in the morning and work with his hands and feet until dark every day—and be a complete failure; on the other hand, one may spend but few hours a day in his office and he a great success. *Do we mean that remaining away con duces to prosperity? Well, there are such cases. The real point is this: is he working his hands and feet? Or, is he usinj? his brains? Surely we don’t mean that a constant study of Shakespeare or the Latin Classics will result in such intellectual stimulation as will build one into a successful manufacturer. Well, the psycholo gists tell us that stranger things have happened. Well, to get down to where we live, one must know his business; he must know how to buy, how to manufacture, how* to sell and where to sell and on what terms. Even then he might fail. He must know how to deal with people, the workers and the customers. When you see a successful man of business you see one whose mind is busy most of the time. It is his brain which counts. I recall the story of the English superintendent of a small job in China. He sat on the ditchbank under an um brella while a Coolie worked in the heat, digging. When the Coolie asked him to come down and help, the Superin tendent said: “One man here is worth ten down there/ “This is really a business where there’s a sucker born every minute’, smiles a lawn and garden supplier in Chi cago. Tt seems like everybody has to get burned once took his seat by the Superintendent. The superintendent harshly demanded an explanation. Whereupon the Coolie replied “Two men up here worth twenty down there.” So no one was digging; all were overseeing. So you see; all the rules have exceptions. Also some men succeed by. a certain method, call it X, whereas others fall flat by X and land in the abyssmal depths of utter disaster.

JOHNSON HAG00D CLARY . “ A Step Ahead In Styles” « Caldwell Street Newberry, S. C. Are you trying to get grass to grow? Well, there is a certain prescription which should work wonders: plant a little cotton and you will spend months fighting thfe grass. Grass, you know, grows where it is not wanted. If you want grass it will resist you; but if you plant cotton, grass will abound. Let’s look into this a bit: “Plant food men say proper lawn nourishment can be a mysterious business for the city-bred tenderfoot, who is apt to be carried away with fads and ‘wonder’ products.” It required some minutes for that to sink into the dull mind of the Coolie. * But, after a while he climbed up and before they settle down and start working sensibly.’ ^ * ‘People are becoming a lot better educated about what their lawns need, but there’s still a long way to go.’ Somone cites recommendations of Purdue University turf specialists, who say the average bluegrass lawn needs up to eight pouhds of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet each year. The average person is starving his grass on less than two pounds. He’ll put on some fertilizer in the spring and then wonder why the lawn dries up in the summer. On the other hand, the amateur lawn keeper, has always been faced with the danger of ‘burning’ his grass with an over-dose of nitrogen. The hazard is sometimes greater, plant food men say, if the fertilizer contains inorganic chemicals as the sole nitrogeh source. For this reason, many manufacturers mix low-potency organic materials with the chemicals to avoid over-stimu lation. Traditional organic nitrogen sources include sew age sludge, tobacco terns and the like. There is, of course, a flourishing cult of gardeners who shun chemicals entirely, using nothing but organic plant foods. Says one organic gardening booster in Chicago: ‘Look at the farmer. I ^*11 use those high-potency chemicals on food he grows for market. But in fertilizing his own garden for the food i eats himself, he’ll use the stuff right out of his own bar.iyard.’ This horticultural hu tiiity may abate somewhat in fu ture years, plant food r say. A new series of chemical nitrogen fertilizers no. ^eing marketed has a built-in ‘slow release’ feature lessens the danger of over- stimulation. Some of these products, known as ureaformaldehydes, contain as much as 38 pe, ent nitrogen—ordinarily a lethal dose for a lawn. But this uitrogen is, so to speak, ‘embalm ed’ by other chemicals so that it escapes slowly, seeping into the plant’s root system over a long period. Result: A single heavy dose will furnish enough nitrogen for a lawn’s entire growing season, without danger of burning. LOOK KIDS! 2 mi PLAY BAGS! U/a£cr'Di4t<£tf'z Bambi Play Bags!
