Way to Succeed
THE MAN WHO IS WTJ UNO TO
WORK, without much recreation ex-
cept what he finds in the !a; or itself,
is bound to make money. He may
have reverses, or what is termed,
“A streak of hard luck.” But if he
keeps at it he is bound to go ahead.
Men of this kind have good size bank
balances. We want those who are
striving to get there, to a^liate with
.this institution. We want to know
them.

The Board of Trade is in receipt of
a communication from the Dallas Au-
tomobile Club, urging that a delegate
be sent to Dallas on the 24ih to rep-
resent the organization in a meeting;
at which time the North Texas Auti-
mobiJe Association will be organized.
The meeting will be held i * the
Chamber of Commerce, Thursday
morning at 10 o’clock, on the 24th.
The invitation states that it' makes
no difference whether we have an au-
tomobile club or not in Bonham;-send
delegate or delegates ah. how. If
any citizen of Bonham who is an au-
tomobile owner can be in Dalian that
day, the secretary' of the Board of
Trade will be' 'glad to give him cre-
dentials to represent us in that meet-
ing. We are letting t6o many things
get away from us, simply by not go-
ing after them, and when the sinoke
has cleared away we wonder why
the other fellow got in on the good
things, and we got in on nothing—
vc did not go after them, is tin} an-
swer. This, is-not meant to convey the
idea that we do not get
tilings,, but is simply mean
vty the thought that too many good
schemes go to "the other fellow, sim-
ply by our paying no attention to
them.
