one of these. In two sizes at rock bottom

ALL FAIR IN BUSINESS t
Nut long ago we met a prosperous
looking man on a river steamer who
laid down the rule that all is fair in
business, as in love and war. The
conversation turned upon a mutual
acquaintance, in for severe
denunciation from our fellow pas-
who said that our mutual
acquaintance was dishonest, as he
knew of an instance where he had
virtually robbed his employer.
I would never do said
the other party. I could get
the of a man in a business
I could sell him something
he had never seen at three thuds its
value or cost to me, I would do it,
but I would not take money out
his drawer. All is fair in
There is a great deal of this
honesty in the business
world today. It is essentially a
product of commercial civilization.
It is practiced every day in the year
right here in Greenville, in North
Carolina and Union. The man
who would not steal your chickens
would sell you is lie knew
were likely to die, and call it a
shrewd stroke of business on
his part. Maybe he would not lie
to you concerning a business
but he will neglect to speak;
a truth which might injure his
interests. It is but a new
plication of the old law of every j
man for himself, softened a little in
appearance perhaps, but in reality
as brutally as in the prim-
twilight.

but we never forgot the country boy
and the longing of his heart.
