VERY THURSDAY?BOONE. N C. Uncommon Sense JOHN BLAKE I a AN INVESTMENT i r iuu are on a salary or working for wages, as moat people are. you ^ are an Investment. A certain amount of your employer's capital is risked un you. If you pay returns you are a good risk. If you don't pay returns, lie will soon be looking around for another investment, k Investment? are valued by their earning power. You may be below par and still earn enough to be worth r i keeping. But If you earn big dividends your value will soon go above par. Men with money want It to earn more money. If they find that you can pay them big returns, they will put their tiioney Info your salary And they have a way of finding out I what you are worth. The value of a , i man cannot be kept a secret. Even I I If his employer is disposed to conceal j his worth. It leaks out. (Jreaf corporations are continually I | taking good men from one mother, j \ man is eraploj od as a general j | manager. The other firms In the same | line of business soon notice whether I the corporation ho directs Is going Rhead or going behind. If it Is go! Ing ahead, they are eager to hire the ; man that Is making It go ahead. I There is no competition so keen as | the competition for the services of pnod men. Of course such men must be conspicuously p??ofl In order to attract wtrntion. lint when once attention has been attracted they are usually able to tlx their own salaries. This ?s true or men in smaller positions. Efficiency and industry scon make their effects apparent. The employer is a foo who ieis a : man po. from whose services he Is I mnktnsr money. And he knows that ir he does not pay him accordinp to his worth he will have to let him po. Then* will be plenty of other men who will take him. i Consider yourself as an Investment lie n solid Investment first, one on j which there cannot possibly he any loss iw a paying: investment, n'so. And you will never lack for capital. 1 which will come to you in the form of wapes or salary, hut will come to yon as surely as if It were deposited In the bank to your account. c> by J>^n ItUke > j MIHMI l?IIMi l "ll-WBMZV~ BEGINS .JAN: 28 OWING TO OFFERING M~: AT A GREAT i J PRACTICAL!.
