HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 1904. 2 EDUCATION ESSENTIAL TO BUSINESS SUCCESS By Harry Ostrand A GOOD education, accompanied with good, honest work, elastic stick-to-it-iveness nerve, backbone, and a little common sense, makes an excellent foundation, a non- embarassing capital with which any young man should be able to creditably conduct an honorable and successful business enterprise. A common remark is that opportunities and favorable circumstances are not evenly distributed, and that the great Philanthropist who contributes these desirable commodities is partial and has not been kindly toward you. There is nothing to it. All our really great successful men had less than one hundred dollars when they commenced their busi- ness career. As for opportunities, make them, don’t wait for them. Back your push against the other fellow’s pull and you shall soon have pushed away the misty cloud of imaginary impos- sibilities, when oceans of opportunities shall be revealed to you. Hard work is the most essential factor, and is the prime motor by means of which all worthy success is achieved. If you can’t complete a certain piece of work in ten hours, work until you do complete it. The most complicated problems, the most difficult undertakings and most practical inventions have all been solved and constructed by means of lamplight. More people suffer from doing too little work than from overwork. Do one thing. Do it as well as you can today and try to do it better tomorrow. Always look pleasant and prosperous. There should be nothing in your personal appearance or in your kind and smiling countenance to indicate that your bank account is not the largest one in town. Never make any smart, assertive or humiliating remarks, for when you do that, you are injecting poison into your business which will cause it to die an unnatural death. You can’t afford to be too independent. Good-fellowship, kind and courteous treatment, is an inexpensive but very profit- able advertising medium. Be manly and frank in action and character. If you are honest you have nothing to fear. Honesty is the best policy at all times, but do not allow yourself to become a member of the E. Z. Mark Club. I have made and sold Ice Cream Sodas for a long time. People of good taste and excellent judgment are among my customers. It will pay you to take advantage of my many years of experience. 1 made a good Ice Cream Soda five ears ago. I have been improving them ever since, always eeping abreast of the times, adding modern improvements as they have been introduced, enlarging and improving my facil- ities and bettering my service, thereby adding to the quality and merit of my Soda. A cheap Ice Cream Soda must necessarily contain arti- ficial flavoring extracts, sharpened with rancid acids, sweet- ened with glucose syrup and other adulterations, therefore unwholesome and dear at any cost. A Good Ice Cream Soda contains crushed fruit flavors in their natural state, sweetened with pure rock candy syrup, free from acids or artificial colorings or other obnoxious in- gredients so commonly resorted to by cheap soda water dis- pensers. The high quality of my wholesome and delicious “Crushed Fruit” Ice Cream Soda should not be confused and con- demned with the cheap, questionable mixture sold by my com- petitors, who offer you as their inducements not only the cheapness in quality and price of their product, but the rude and inefficient manner in which you are served should be tak- en into consideration. Compare a glass of my delicious “Crushed Fruit” Ice Cream Soda with one of my cheap priced competitors’ stuff, and I shall be perfectly willing to leave it to your good taste and excellent judgment whether or not the difference in quali- ty does not justify you to pay the difference in price. Last year was a record breaker for me in the soda busi- ness, as I did twice the business of any previous year, and if better quality, better service, with increased facilities and an untiring effort to please and satisty can be used as a retainer of old, tried and true friends, and a stimulus to new ones, with your assistance, if I merit your kind and appreciated patronage this coming season, I am going to break all pre- vious records.
