SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
Always observe, by all means, the ‘'Law of Mutual Benefit,” but beware of the man who wants “something for nothing.” Ho is the man who vexes the spurt of the salesman by wanting a little bettor discount in his small order or a little more service on your part in soiling him. Ho is the friend who enters your store for a friendly chat and after a rambling talk on nothing in particular suddenly decides that ho will favour you with Ids patronage—providing ho gets something in your lino at cost price. Give and share your best with your fellow man. bo just in your dealings with him—but remember the great principle of self justice. You owe it to yourself to keep a reserve and let no man tempt you into becoming the good, generous fellow who is ever ready to accommodate a friend even at a financial loss.
