STRICTLY IN ADVANCE ' e c : i -===^a A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.—lsaiah 59:1. GOODWILL—WHY ? Courtesy springs from thoughtfulness. We who sell are expected not only to think but also to be thoughtful. We who sell, above all, should extend conrtesv to all with whom we are in contact . . . Why the emphasis on courtesy? Only because the seller in times of great demand for his merchandise loses perspective entirely. He is placed in an abnormal and totally false position. This unfamiliar and strange position too often obscures the true foundation upon which is built the structure wherein men buy and sell and trade together, com monly known as business. Thoughtfulness and courtesy toward the buyer are too often absent on the part of the seller during such a period For every one year wherein demand is greater than supply, there are fifteen years wherein supply is placed in a highly competitive position. . . . Truly, what an obligation the seller is under on this basis alone! And how is it being repaid? In many instances, I am sorry to ob serve, not very well. The buyer today is harassed with too many difficult problems to be forced to have added to his burden indifference, discourtesy, and oft times rudeness on the part of the seller- The buyer has been too de cent an individual to have such lack of thoughtfulness attend his transactions and contacts with the seller. This business of buying, selling, trading, and living together should and can be a very pleasant structure. All of us to give something of ourselves cheerfully to make it such. Are you and I as salesmen do ing our part? It is true you and I as sellers may not be able adequately to supply our buyers on business they were considerate enough to favor us with. That, however, is not a good reason for failure to realize that any and all business they give its is a distinct favor to us, as sellers. o Life is a grindstone and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him up depends upon the stuff he’s made of.

History of Coffee The fragrant cup of coffee which | makes us civil every morning and | i enews us so often during the , day links many nations in a long and romantic history. Just when it first appeared as a beverage no one can say exactly. But that it was an Arabian discovery seem very likely in view of the fact that coffee grew wild in that part of the world before the ninthl cen turv after Christ, and fanciful Arabian nights tales have been handed down about the first brew. The most popular legend con cerns Kaldi, an Arabian goatherd, whose dull life on the hillside made him a gloomy Joe indeed. But he picked and ate some of the ber ries his goats were fond of nib bling, because he noticed that after eating these berries, the goats be came gay creatures. Kaldi himself became a new man. Thereafter coffee berries were indispensable to his diet, and so carefree and lively did he become that he often joined his goats in a merry dance. A monk, to whom Kaldi con fided his experiences, prepared a drink from the beans and served it to the members of his order. They found the beverage sustained their energy and helped them to pray and meditate longer, so they adopted the drink and cultivated the plant. Gradually the popularity of the beverage spread to Turkey, where, in 1554, the first public coffee house was established. It was introduced to the Venetians in 1615, the French YOUR “SHIP WILL COME IN” Sooner By the Aid of Newspaper ADVERTISING ««t SEND IN YOUR NEWS ggDon’t Look so Scared—When I Said I Had M}BH iWinter Wardrobe All Planned—l Meant—l Wa<H| to Have Some of My Dresses ||and Stored In Moth Proof Bags.

But prompt!’.- power of the beverage to late clear thinking and plain * ing converted the popular coffee houses into discussion clubs. And political debate that exploded i n i 0 dissension, direct action and "re sistance made coffee houses the targets of tyrants like Charles n of England, who termed them seminaries of sedition. But, according to Disraeli, Lon-‘ don and Paris coffee houses of *h 6 seventeenth and eighteenth cen luries held the mirror to “the manners, the morals and the pol. itics of a people.” Here in colonial United States too, the coffee house became the meeting house of the town fathers and after a time changed front purely social centers to focal points of merchant trade and political discussion. Daniel Webster called Boston’s Green Dragon Coffee House “the headquarters of the American Revolution.” The Dutch took the coffee plant to South America back around 1718, with a result that every sixth grader knows. Today’s coffee plan, tations in Pan-America produce three-fourths of the world’s coffee. And because we are the world's greatest coffee drinkers, of course we’re the biggest customers for the Pan-American yield.
