Soge's Advice to n Young lVlon:
The best way for a young man who is without friends or infuence to begin is: first, to get a position; second, to keep his mouth shut; third, observe; fourth, be faithful; fifthi make his employer think he would be lost in a fog without him; sixth; be polite'

Our Budget
Our guests have departed; and now we're aghast, Our grocery budget's a thing of the past; Our cupboard, like Hubbard's, yields nothing to eat, Our brave ration book's lying low in defeat. You loved playing hostess, I loved playing host, But guests cannot live on just coffee and toast; Our diet's like Gandhi's and we'll hardly eat, Until our sick budget can get back on its feet.
Jefferson on Lqwyers in Congress:
I served with General Washington in the Legislature of Virginia, before the Revolution, and, during it, with Doctor Franklin in Congress. I never heard either of them speak ten minutes at a time, nor to any one but the main point, which was to decide the question.
They laid their shoulders to the great points, knowing that the little ones would follow of themselves. If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everylhing, yield nothing, and talk by the hour? That one hundred and 6fty lawyers should do business together is not to be expected.
Thomas Jefferson.

Aristocrocy
The sole aristocracy of today is the aristocracy of wealth; the sole aristocracy of tomorrow will be the eternal, divine, beneficient aristocracy of intellect and virtue-at its highest, genius; but that, like everything that descends from God, will rise among the people, and labor for the people.
-Mazzini.

Poper
When I pulled out the drawer of a filing cabinet the other day, a small object fell to the floor. I picked it up and found it was a disk about an inch in diameter and a quarter of an inch in t&rickness. It was one of the rollers out of the grooved roller-bearing extension slides which' support the drawer and contents.
I noticed that the little wheel was made of PAPER, pressed hard as iron, but noiseless as felt when in use as part of the mechanisrn
The origin of paper making is lost in the antiquity of Chinese h.istory. But from the middle of the eighth century, A. D., when the art first became known to the western world, paper has been a mighty factor in the development of civilization. From the birth certificate that pushes us upon life's stage, to the burial permit that rings down the curtain, paper runs the Big Show.
Paper, with words on it, has had more to do with the destiny of kings, the changes of empire, the course of the human race, than the last famous syllable of the name "Hotchkiss."
There are 450,000 words and phrases in the English language that can be printed on paper. The trick is in knowing which ones to leave off.

The application and information is then transferred to two permanent cards, one-of which is installed on a Wheeldex in the lumber office and the other in the store-both available to any clerk at a moment's notice. These cards also contain both the credit limit and current status of the account.
Then, because like death and taxes the slow pay account is inevitable, a neat little system of collection has been worked out. First, because Davis' economy is heavily agricultural, 3Gday accounts are allowed to run for 6O days before an official collection attempt is made. The accounts receivable ledger is carefully checked each day for credit entries and payments. At the end of 30 days, and if the account hasn't paid, he is sent another invoice. If this fails to get results at the end of the 60 days, the customer is then sent a reminder of his balance owing and past-due.
{ibn d"y. Iater, and if the customer persists in maintain-r ing an icy silence regarding his over-due bill (and few do), the clerk who originally granted the credit gives him a cAll on the phone-or a call in person if the bill ro *arrarrds Generally, at this point something can be worked out to the satisfaction of both, but if the customer still holds out his past-due account is then turned over to the local bureau for collection-and quick results.
The success of Anderson's collection method is due to the simple fact that he and all of his employes rigidly prizcs for l50O r.gi3tronts qt grond opcning; house*qre ond giir disployrj cu3lomer curiosily; plostic-bcgged, price-togged merchondire; pockoged noils adhere to it. The ledger is checked daily and any account needing attention receives it that day.


Ir-r time l)avntents, -\nclerson's l'nethod is n.ruch the same. I)a.vis Lumber uses a standard conclitional sales contruct; horvever, it is interesting to note that it also adcls a nrinimurrr charge r>f $1.50 or 7/c per ntonth in "tin're charges." Maximnm time allou'ecl is six months and maximum cre(lit allon'ecl is $2.50. --\lso included in the provisions of the contract is the ltul.er's agreement to pay late charges of fir'c cents l)er ciollar in addition to the regrrlar installrlrer.rt (but not t() cxceed larl'frr1 maxinrum) if pavnrcnts arc not made n'ithin 1.5 rlavs af te r the iluc date ; the lruyer also lrgrees to pay al1 lcgai expense ii account is placed in the hantls of an attorney for collection.
"After a11," Anderson explained, "a ten-dollar credit loss is just like taking a ten-spot out of the cash register and burning it. If you think of it in that light, you'lI spend a little extra time watching the credit applications and ledger in order to prevent such 'bonfires'."
Another outstanding feature of the Davis I-umber operation is its <liversity of inventory. Irr adilition to the usual ge ncral linc of hardu'are , paints an<l builcling nraterials m()st commonly found in lrrnrlierl'arrls, I)avis l-urnber also fcatures an appliance department, a houser,r'are division. a gitrden supply <lcpartment ancl even tr sprtrting goods deltartment.
