PAGE EIGHT Some Tested Rules For Any Business By GEORGE i. COCHRANE President. Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company A young man teginnlng a business career, if he ha 3 the ability, ran al most be assured of success by fol lowing a few simple rules: Absolute honesty is the fi»-t essen tial. No on? c m be misted with im portant business unless his integrity is beyond reproach Temperate living follows closely on the heel j oi hnesty, enabling a young fellow to maintain a clear mind in a ijcund wody. Modesty is another thing. The cbeekly fellow is not popuTtr with his employer or the public. But modesty always commands respect. Never miss an opportunity to make a friend. Never neglect an opportunity to help a friend. Be unfailingly loyal to your business associates. A large number of friends is always an ele ment of strength in business life. Membership in some good Christian church is a strong aid to honest and temperate living and a good place to so; m true, lasting friendships. Families Os Small Income Are Shown To Be Backbone Os Business, Reports Show (From The Coca-Cola Bottler.) Ihe consumer importance of the family man in the lower income class is graphically revealed, by the Bu reau ot Foreign and Domestic Com merce, Department of Commerce, t>■ o"C h its fourth report in a series of studies on selected household J-mmodities and service# used by families of various income classes. The atu ’y just completed is based on information furnished by families in Columbia. South Carolina, according to N. H Eng'e, Assistant Director c 'he Bureau. Similar to the recent reports for Au tin. Texas; Fargo, North Dakota; and Portland. Maine, the Columbia study contains adJitional evidence, the Assistant Director stated, that families receiving annual incomes of less than $2 000 far outnumber all t/oae with higher incomes as to num ber of families consuming coai for house heat; Using rra - equipment for cooking and electricity for lighting; installing bathtubs and showers, buy ing au omobiles; and owning their ovn homes. In other words, these ?->-• • gt • lisUr* driv« home the point that mass consumption on the part of families with small incomes is the Leckbor? of business. Correlated data on ownership 0 r use cf these goods in 1934 and income re ceived duiing the preceding year, as obtained from Columbia families, are particularly interesting when com pare j with the same type of informa tion procured from Austin. Texas, Statistics covering these two southern '.. * 1 We are preutl of the part we had in the building of the new home of the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. We installed the Barber Giant Shingles and Built-In Barber Trinidad Roof TANNER Roofing Co. Henderson, N. C. Another most important factor is the -pirit with which one does his work. The young man who will give I his entire mind to his work, watch ing carefully every detail, making as fexv mistakes as possible, doing the work of his employer as though all the responsibility and profit were his own. will (even with moderate ability) become indispensable to the bu mess. Such men are sought after day. So many men work without thinking, and work along in ruts, watching the 1 clo< k for quitting time, that the man who thinks as he works, and thinks ! soley about his work, and makes it ; his master passion, will find hime;lf | in g'eat demand. B" patient and persevering. Some time’ we give up on the eve of a great success. Be sure you are fitted for the career you have chosen, and then stay with it until you win. Test these rules by watching some i-ucce sful business man of your ac quaintance. I cities chow many points of similarity I and also some noticeable differences, j For instance, in Austin, the availabili ty of natural ga3 and its use for house-heating pui poses results in the general use of heating apparatus of a different kind from that required in Columbia where coal is the prin ( cipal fuel. All reporting Austin families with internes of $3 000 or more light then homes with electricity, but for Co lumbia the facts are different, in that city all families with incomes of sl,- uOO or more have electricity for light ing and are therefore use»s or poten tial usei 3 of various electric house hold appliances. In some other re sp r f however. Columbia families air not so well provided with modern conveniences as are the Austin fami lies. In both cities the facts point to sales opportunities. While many a consumer may be curiou? to know how his family equip ment compared with the average for his income class in tnis city, indivi dual and organizations, wherever located, are sure to tmd much that is of human interest in this new and levealing picture of living standards among the various income classes — (he compilation, as asserted in the Foieword, is primarily designed for use in sales planning by manufactur ers distributors, and advertisers of the goods reported.
