Respect the Small Order, Mr. Dealer
Every man who aspires to have a PERMANENT BUSI' NESS must give heed unto the morrow.
Today we are prosperous-today we have more business in sight than we dreametl existed. only a few years agotoday we are moving under the impetus of nation-wide campaigns-but tomorrow is coming.
Today we are having the "fat years"-bu1 there may be "lean years" to follow-and the wise man is storing his warehouses now against the time of famine.
He is laying up stores of CONFIDENCE-ancI TRUSTand KNOWLEDGtrFancI all those other "emotional trade builders" that will proye so immensely valuable to him when the "big rush" is over.
He is not neglecting the "little fellow"-the "small order"-in the rush of fiIling the big bills-for he knows that the little **An of today will be the big man of tomorrow.
The man who buys a board for a shelf today will be in the narket for a HOME tomorrow-and he will buy that IIOME from the man who took pains to fit him out satisfactorily with a single board.
Prosperity is the true test of a man's soul. Adversity may show his GOODNESS-buI prosperity will bring out his BADNESS.
"I haven't time to bother with small stufi"-is the confession of POOR BUSINESS QUAITIflCATIONS. It show narrow and limited trade vision. It proves a small mind.
There is more to the builtting material business than the dealer's side of itl there is more than swapping MATERIAI-r for MONEY
There is also the PROVIDING OF' SEEITTER-the securing of comfort and happiness and. cleanliness and convenience. There is the BIIILDING OF'A COMMUNITY-there is the MAKTNG OF HOMES.
AncI he who neglects to foster the SMAI-II"r ORDER, is killing at its source the DESIRE FOR, BUILDING-for IMPROVEMENT-on which rests the very foundations of the builtling material industry.
TAT{E HEED UNTO THE MORROW AND FOSTER THE SMAIJIJ ORDER.
