"bought" or "sold"

"Times are hard," says the Lumber Industry. "No one is buying lumber."

True enough, but how many are selling lumber? And selling is not done by waiting for someone to buy.

Mill output sold to Dealers is actually not sold at all. It is not sold until it is consumed and paid for. In the Dealer's hands it is still in transit to market.

Dealer and Mill man are partners in production and distribution. It is the Mill Man's job to provide material to meet modern merchandising requirements and the Dealer's job to sell it to the consumer. He must sell ideas and the desire for improvement as well as material.

As long as a building remains in need of repair and as long as there are houses without modern built-in utilities and conveniences there is a lumber market. A systematic canvass ofiering practical suggestions is bound to yield profitable returns. The building owner who makes a small improvement today is often stimulated thereby to larger projects tomorrow.

Money

"It's a good thing to have money and the things that money caq buy, but it is also a good thing to be able to look back and discover that you haven't lost some of the ttings that money can't buy."-George Horace Lorimer.

Supposinl nrr, aor,'t?rtll. 0r",, What are you goin' to do?

Throw down yer pole, chuck out yer bait An' say yer fishin's through?

You bet you arn't, you're goin' to fish, An'fish, an' fish, an' wait, Until you've ketched a basket full, Or else run out of bait.

Suppose yer luck don't come at first, What are you goin' to do?

Throw up the sponge, anl kick yerself, An' growl, an' fret, an' stew?

You bet you won't, you're goin' to fish, An'bait, an' bait agin, Until fish luck takes hold yer hook, Fer grit is sure to win.

Believed In Signs

"Shame on you !" stormed the judge to the colored prisoner. "You come into this court and state that, because you believe in signs, you refuse to go home and live with your wife. I repeat, shame on yotr ! A man living in this age shouldn't let superstition break up his home."

'Jedge," replied the defendant, "tain't superstition Ah's afeared of, but Ah do believe in signs. Fo' de las' three nights, aftuh Ah'd gone to bed, Ah could heah dat 'oman honin' Mah favrit razah."

Questioner: "What do you think of the Ten Commandments?"

Wanted Legal Advice

Son: "Dad, you don't charge for advice from one of the family, do you?" \ /

Lawyer: "No, son, of course-t don't. Why do you ask?"

Son: "Well, what I wanted to know is, when you were a kid, and wanted a dollar, what did you do?"

LORD BALFOUR SAID:

"The superstition that all our hours of work are a minus quantity in the happinege of life, and all the hours of idleness are plus ones, is /most ludicrous and pernicious doctrine, and its great{/ support comes from our not taking sufficient trouble, not making a real effort, to make our work as near pleasure as it can be."

Economy

Please be prompt as the cab is hired by the hour."
