pay.
You may spend your income now and suffer want later on.
You may work hard now and play as you go along. You may have happiness
each day you live; you can make life worth living if you work.
Happiness is compensation for work; no work, no happiness.
You may have what you want, but, you must pay for it.
Millions cost happiness and often cost health too.
The dinner is properly balanced when it has sweets as well as

out a better method, leaves a good feeling in the heart of that
employe.
The boss who shows his heart to the employe and is concerned in the
things not necessarily business will be repaid a thousand-fold in
loyalty and willingness on the part of the employe.
Employes deeply appreciate consideration, and especially the little
kindnesses which are not what might be called business practice.
