Schedule For Drivers
When business is not all that it
should be there is a temptation to
sit back and say, “Well, what's the
use! We've done everything
possible to stir up a little business
and there is nothing doing so
what’s the use of trying!” There
is always a way. There was a way
in and there is a way out And
success comes to the man who grits
his teeth, squares his jaw, and
says, "There is a way for me and,
by jingo, I’ll find it.” The stag-
nator’ gathers green scom, finally
dries up and leaves an unslightly
hollow.—Clifford Sloan, . p
