Rothschild, the big clothing merchant of Chicago, is one of those that really set you thinking. I'll wager that you remember it—that sometime to-day when you're saying to yourself, “Well, that can go over till tomorrow,” you catch yourself thinking: If you will teach yourself to do NOW what you mean to do, yon will have solved the most difficult, of the many problems of success. And you will do it now. Gradually you will find yourself doing things right away instead of putting them off. And you will be surprised to find how much easier it is to get your week's work done by closing time on Saturday. Instead of tackling, a problem once and • almost disposing of it, and then leaving it to get cold, and repeating the same performance several times, you will find that it only takes just a little more effort and sticking to it the first time to put it through. Ton’ll he surprised at the way unfinished work ceases to pile up; at the wav your judgment improves in accuracy and dispatch; at the increase in vo'ur working and. hence, earning capacity; and at the doubled pleasure you get out of this business game when you get the efficiency that handles most things just once, and by concentration on the one thing at a time gets many things done in the day’s work. “Do now what you mean to do.
