Schwab, who, once a country lad in Pennsylvania, developed by sheer ability and force of person ality into one of the outstanding positions in the business world of his day. In a recent interview Mr. Schwab said that if any man should ask him for advice he would say to him, “Cultivate a cheerful disposition. Always be pleasant. Learn to like people— like them sincerely. Then, when ever they can, they will do busi ness with you rather than with some sour, grouchy fellow.” Mr. Schwab didn’t mean that a cheerful disposition by itself would make a man successful, as the following expression in the course of his interview indicated: “From the first day that I started work, at $30 a month, in a gang employed under the chief engi neer, I did try my darndest to keep my eyes open and my head and hands busy learning every thing I could. It wasn’t long be fore I thought nothing of working all night through—after my day’s work—when some special job had to be done. In fact, many times I would stay on a job two days and two nights without getting a wink of sleep.” Nothing takes the place of hard work, application to one’s job, knowledge of one’s work and the business he is employed in, loyalty to his organization, dependabiUty, trustworthiness. But it is certain ly true that the fellow who is able to smile, even when the going is hard, when difficulties seem in surmountable, and when the ordi nary fellow is depressed and sour —this man, with his cheerful dis position and smile will “go places.” And that is particularly true in our business, and even more particularly true of those members of our organization whose duties bring them into fre quent contact with customers and the general public. CHATHAM LICKS UNIQUE 7 TO 2 (Continued From Page One) fifth inning with one out and men on second and third, retired the side without a score and went on to allow only four hits the remainder of the game. He was in trouble only once. In the seventh, the first three men singled but Jones hit into a dou ble play as Mackie scored and the next man was an easy out. Gough featured the play for the Blanketeers, both at bat and in the field, getting three hits and fielding his position perfectly. Pierce provided the feature catch of the game, robbing Mackie of an extra base hit with a one-hand shoe-string catch.

Elkin Office Even though the good little town of Elkin is situated right in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, the weather gets hot here just the same—and the past few days have been really uncom fortable. And we, of the office force, look like the “last rose of summer”, all droopy and wilted. ’Twould be nice to be rich and hie ourselves away to some shady nook where the cool mountain breezes blow, and just REST till cool weather comes again, would n’t it? And below are my senti ments, exactly: “I wish I wuz a little rock, A-settin’ on a hill; I wouldn’t do a thing all day, But keep a-settin’ still.” “I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t even drink; I wouldn’t do a thing, by gosh! But jes’ set there and THINK.” And now for some news—if there is any. John Jones of this office at tended the ball game between the Blanketeers and the Mount Airy Reds of the Bi-State League in Mount Airy last Sunday. Mr. Jones reported an exciting game and we all know that he enjoyed it plenty. Cone Cox was among those present at the Blanketeer-Shoe- maker game at Lynchburg two weeks ago. Jimmie Booher has been doing some extra work in this office the past week. Using my typewriter, etc.—you know! Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Hambright spent Thursday afternoon in Winston-Salem. Pearl Adams spent Saturday in Winston-Salem shopping. Gavin Dortch has returned from Chicago where he spent two weeks attending to business for the company. And so long until next time. ANOTHER WAY TO HELP ADVERTISE Last Christmas an air-cell blanket was sent to an old lady out in Indiana as a Christmas gift. The lady had been an invalid for years. She writes that her blanket is the most talked of one in the whole hospital. She says that she has used it on her bed continuously and when she is able to sit in her rolling chair, she uses it as a shawl. She also writes that she has told the story many times of where the blanket came from' and who the manufacturer is. Just another way to let the world know what is made by our Company. WHEN A FELLOW IS OUT OF A JOB All nature is sick from her heels to her hair, W’en a feller is out of a job. She is all out of kilter and out of of repair. Ain’t no juice in the earth an’ no salt in the sea. Ain’t no ginger in life in this land of the free. An’ the universe ain’t what it’s cracked up to be, W’en a feller is out of a job. W’ats the good of blue skies an’ blossoming trees, W’en a feller is out of a job? W’en your boys has large patches on both of his knees, W’en a feller is out of a job? Them patches, I say, look so bi0 to your eye That they shet out the lan’scap^ and cover the sky, An’ the sun can’t shine througl^ ’em, best it can try, W'en a feller is out of a job. For you’ve just lost holt with tli® rest of the crowd, W’en a feller is out of a job; And you feel like a dead man witl^ nary shroud, W’en a feller is out of a job. You are crawling around, bU*' you’re out of the game. You may hustle about—but dead just the same— Yer dead, with no tombstone put up yer name, W’en a feller is out of a job. Every man that’s a man want® to help push the world. But he can’t if he’s out of ^ job; He is left out behind, on the shel* he is curled, W’en a feller is out of a job. Ain’t no juice in the earth an’ salt in the sea, Ain’t no ginger in life in this laH® of the free. An’ the universe ain’t what cracked up to be, W’en a feller is out of a job. —James Whitcomb Riley- Great Messages By AMERICAN PATRIOTS Woodrow Wilson, war preside^^ of the United States, said: “I do not want to live under ^ philanthropy, I do not want ^ be taken care of by the govef^^' ment either directly or by aPJ' instruments through which government is acting, I want ly to have right and justice pr®' vail so far as I am concerned' Give me right and justice and ^ will undertake to take care of self, I will not live under trusted® if I can help it. I do not how wise, how patriotic, trustees may be. I have nev^^ heard of any group of men whose hands I am willing lodge the liberties of America^ trust.” Gossip is one of the few thi^^^ unhurt by the depression. I
