The TRUMPET l... 4 Commercial Trumpet Blares BE FRANK AND SINCERE Don't waste your time and the advertiser's by apply- ing for a position which you are unable to fill. An office boy cannot expect to get a job as business manager of a large corporation, and a young man of twenty-hve, no matter how smart he may be, will not be chosen as a bank president. JOHN TORMAY, '27, Commercial. GET AT SOMETHING If nothing turns up, turn something up. The man who is at work has ten chances to get a better place for one chance the man who is out of work has to get anything to do. If the place isn't good enough or the pay not big enough, fill the place chuck full, so that you will bulge over a little where people can see you, and earn every cent of the pay. The people who are most tired in this world are working for themselves and not for the good of others. WILLIAM NILLES, '27, Commercial. NEVER BE IDLE If you are out of work and can't find any, go and help some poor fellow who has more than he can carry. Don't consider that you are doing him a favor either. He is really doing you the favor. For every one man who can't find work, there are five who have more than they can do. If you read your Bible, you will find that the men whom God called to higher work were not standing around with their hands in their pockets waiting for a job. JOHN WALSH, '26, Commercial. BE PROMPT As a rule, the most successful business men are prompt in keeping business engagements and in all business affairs. Early, form habits of promptness and you will not only be able to serve others better, but will find this habit of great value to you in busi- ness all through life. JOSEPH MCFADDEN, '27, Commercial. HINTS FOR DEPOSITORS Do not wait until you get to the bank to count your money, or to endorse your checks and arrange your deposits. This should be done before you come to the bank, or at least, before you present yourself at the receiving teller's window. Be sure that you have the figures correct. Place the bills all one way, right side up. Separate your gold and silver, and sort the silver by denominations. Do not deposit your dimes, nickels, and pennies until you have a certain amount of them, say five dollars of each: then put them in a package, with the amount and your name marked on it, and leave for the' teller to C0lll1t at his leisure, with the understanding that if short or over the proper correction will be made. LIARY FARRELL, '26, Commercial. 'O DON'T QUIT Don't quit a good position until you are sure of a better one. Remember that the very best positions are secured through promotions and not by answering advertisements. The boys who are always looking for nice, easy positions at stout salaries, never get them. JAMES DUNNIGAN, '27, Commercial. DON'T TELL YOUR HISTORY It will not be necessary to say how well-bred or how well-educated you are. Show this by the modera- tion of your statements, the conciseness of your facts, by correct spelling and good grammar, by a neat and respectable letter. Write such a letter as will obtain for you an interview, and your manners can then be made manifest. DANIEL GALLAGIII-:R, '27, Commercial. EMPLOYMENT The Lord helps those who help themselves. Do not depend entirely upon some one else to secure you a position. Assure yourself that you can do good work and then confidently ask for employment. There are plenty of business men ready and glad to employ competent help and it is only necessary to secure an opportunity to prove your worth. ANNA O'DONNELL, '27, Commercial. KNOWLEDGE Knowledge, in general, expands the mind, exalts the faculties, refines the taste of pleasure, and opens innumerable sources of intellectual enjoyment. By means of it we become less dependent for satisfaction upon the sensitive appetite, the gross pleasures of sense are more easily despised, and we are made to feel the superiority of the spiritual to the material part of our nature. Instead of being continually solicited by the influence and irritation of sensible objects, the mind can retire within itself, and expati- ate in the cool and quiet walks of contemplation. ANNA MONAHAN, '26, Commercial. COURTESY Courtesy is the true characteristic of a good mind. VVe must be as courteous to a man as to a picture, which we are willing to .give the advantage of a good light. Be courteous to all, but intimate with few: and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. Many a heart has been won through the exercise of such little kindnesses and courtesies as are natural to the generous in spirit and the noble of soul. Genuine courtesy grows out of an assiduous self-denial and a constant consideration of the happi- ness of others: the forms and usages of etiquette derive all their beauty and significance from the fact that each of them requires the sacrifice of one's own ease and convenience to another's comfort.
