sk a dollar on it. Even after
it had been tested at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia and
found to work perfectly, its possibilities were so little realized that
for a long while no one could be found to furnish the funds necessary to
place it upon the market.

The Wizardry of Wireless

Then after the world had become accustomed to transacting millions of
dollars worth of business daily over the once despised telegraph and
telephone it took out its doubts on Marconi and his "wireless
telegraphy." "It's impossible," they said. "Talk without wires? Never!"

plan and then PRODUCE; contemplate and then CONSTRUCT; think it out and
then WORK it out.

If you do the latter at the expense of the former you are doomed to work

former at the expense of the latter you are doomed to know only the
fringes of life, never to be taken seriously and never to achieve.

Pitfalls for Dreamers

If you are inclined to take your pleasure out in cerebrating instead
